Nurses' Phone Survey

A survey of nurses’ phones was conducted in order to ascertain the proportion of those with java-enabled phones. This information informs us as to the feasibility of nurses being able to use a java application on their phones. Data regarding telco operator use is also informative as a proxy indicator for network reliability in the area, pricing, and popularity. Information regarding handset manufacturer shows us something about which handsets nurses might easily and quickly adapt to, should new phones be introduced to them. Raw data is accessible here.

 

Main findings:

-          89% of nurses have MTN lines

-          60% of nurses have Nokia phones

-          20% of nurses have java-enabled phones
