In this presentation, given by the SOHITCOM research team at the ICT4D Middle East Learning Workshop, the team provides an overview of the project, including its design, data collection, research analysis, system design and implementation and evaluation.

From 8-10 Dec. 2009, I (Edward) attended the Innovations in Mobile Data Collection in the Middle East Workshop sponsored by UNICEF Innovation and MobileActive.org in Amman, Jordan. The event was excellent and was attended by many impressive, talented people from the mobile technology, software development, and international development fields. I got the chance to meet the leaders in this field (such as UShahidi and RapidSMS). I also got the chance to introduce SOHITCOM which attracted the attention of several participants.

The Royal Scientific Society hosted the International Networking on MED-EU ICT Cooperation from 5-7 Dec. 2009 (www.join-med.eu). One of the themes discussed in the event was eHealth. During the Poster and Networking session, the SOHITCOM team showed a poster for the project and distributed project brochures and flyers. Many participants showed interest in the project idea. Another event is planned in Tunisia in May 2010.

SOHITCOM was presented in the 2009 METS exhibition which was held in Amman between 18-21 Nov. SOHITCOM team got the chance to talk to several IT experts, Governmental officials and general public to about the project and distribute project brochures and flyers. The exhibition was under the patronage of HRH Princess Sumaya bit El Hassan, the President of the Royal Scientific Society.
