The project, initially proposed by AED, uses cellphones as a means of data capture in which representatives from up to 10000 schools feedback information to a central Cell-Life database on the number of HIV peer education sessions that take place. The information captured by the representatives is sent via a simple SMS to Cell-Life from which the easy consolidation of all the information is carried out. The initial proposal for the project was based on the usage of telephone, fax and email as the means for communication but these mediums were seen to be potentially resource intensive. The cellphones were chosen as a solution due to them being seen as a cheap, easy alternative to managing the challenge.

Cell-Life is currently in the process of adding new features to the system which provides the current set of reports with additional information and functionality. For further information on this and other product please visit the Cell-Life website: www.cell-life.org
