CommCare Integration
CommCare has an existing integration for enrolling and identifying beneficiaries using Simprints. Follow the Quick Start guide to easily integrate Simprints to your CommCare application.
What is CommCare?
CommCare is a data collection platform that frontline workers can use to collect, track and manage a beneficiary's case over time. CommCare can work offline on Android phones and tablets. CommCare HQ is CommCare's server where a project manager will be able to design the data collection forms whilst the CommCare app will allow a frontline worker to download the forms and start managing a beneficiary's case,
Simprints integrates with CommCare to provide frontline workers with the ability to enrol and link a beneficiary's record to their biometrics. This will allow for a frontline worker to easily identify a beneficiary using their biometrics over time on follow-up appointments.
