Project
DHIS2 is an open source health management information system that is currently being used in 47 countries. DHIS2 can be customized and extended by the creation of apps. A DHIS2 app is an extension of the DHIS2 interface and functionality, and consists of zipped Javascript, HTML and CSS files, in addition to a "manifest.webapp" file in its root folder which describes the app to the system. Apps communicate with instances of DHIS2 through the Web API, which is the component that makes it possible for external systems to access and manipulate data stored in the DHIS2 instance. DHIS2 has its own app store which enables its users to download and install apps in order to better support their needs.
One of the apps available in the DHIS2 app store is called the Tracker Capture app. This app enables enrollment of patients in health programs and registration of patient data for various stages in the program. In the MNCH (maternal, newborn, and child health)/PNC (prenatal) program of the Tracker Capture app, patient measurements such as weight and blood pressure are registered with every visit throughout the pregnancy and after birth. Health workers using the Tracker Capture app have expressed their wish to be able to view earlier measurements while registering new ones, which is not possible in the current version of the Tracker Capture app.
Our project assignment is to modify the Tracker Capture app in order to enable the users to view measurements from previous visits while registering current measurements.

Summary of requirements
Modify the current DHIS2 Tacker Capture app in order to make it possible for health workers to view measurements from the previous stage of the programme when registering current values. We will accomplish this by experimenting using a Postgres database filled with sample data in order to alter the code to show results from previous visits. As only one of the members of the group has previously worked HTML and JavaScript, it is difficult for us to foresee all the details as relating to the requirements, progress and future milestones of the project.
