A clearer picture.
One question at a time.

DataToCare is a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) connecting instruments, laboratory workflows and health programmes. It brings patient, sample and test information together with reporting and operational oversight. Explore the LIMS features.

The platform supports multiple diagnostic programmes and instrument families. Exact assays, models, drivers and interfaces are confirmed for each deployment. View the instrument overview, or ask about your setup.

Yes. Bidirectional communication means DataToCare sends a test order to a supported instrument and receives the result back. This includes GeneXpert Dx, Abbott m2000 and PlusLife through configured interfaces. Other routes collect results through APIs or files. Compare instrument workflows.

DataToCare has evolved from diagnostic connectivity into a LIMS covering patients, samples, test orders, results, inventory, equipment and quality workflows. It can also exchange information with an existing LIS, LIMS or EMR through configured interfaces. See interoperability details.

DHIS2 Tracker exchange is bidirectional: DataToCare retrieves an existing patient, or creates and registers a new patient in DHIS2, then returns results linked to the patient, programme and organisation. Aggregate reporting is a separate scheduled export from DataToCare Web to DHIS2 Data Sets. Explore both Tracker scenarios.

Yes. Configured integrations include DHIS2, e-TB Manager and Nadis, alongside other national platforms and laboratory systems. API, file or database interfaces depend on the receiving system. ASTM and HL7 support is specific to the instrument and driver, rather than universal. Review the integration options.

The technical specification describes role-based access, audit trails and encryption at rest and in transit. Data ownership, governance and retention remain with the hosting country or institution. Hosting and access arrangements are agreed for the deployment. Read the technical specification.

Desktop supports local laboratory work on a laboratory computer. Web provides browser-based laboratory management, dashboards and reporting. Mobile supports field requests, results and referrals. Light is a Windows background service for instrument data capture and forwarding. Meet the applications.

Desktop and Mobile can retain work locally and synchronize later. Internet or configured SMS transmission supports different connectivity settings. Light forwards instrument data over the internet after interruptions; facility Web instances can buffer forwarding to a national instance. Compare deployment modes.

Data capture forms, validation workflows, indicators, dashboards and reports can be configured for the country, laboratory or health programme. Discuss your requirements and training needs with the team. Tell us about your workflow.

An existing configuration can be rolled out more quickly than a new programme. Assessment, instrument interfaces, configuration, infrastructure and training determine the schedule. The team can scope these steps with you before agreeing a deployment plan. Discuss an implementation.

Costs depend on the network, interfaces, infrastructure, training and support required. The v6.0 specification describes a royalty-free, perpetual licence for non-commercial use, with source access on request for non-commercial entities. Contracted implementation, training and support services are scoped separately. Read the specification or request a quotation.

DataToCare has been deployed in 20 countries, particularly in Africa and South-East Asia. The current reach figures are 1,067 laboratories, 1,217,274 tests and 1,198,878 patients. Explore deployments and reported impact.
