Poshan Tracker

Poshan Tracker is a powerful mobile application. It boasts robust features, providing a comprehensive overview of Anganwadi Centers (AWCs) and is designed to help Anganwadi staff track and improve the nutritional status of women and children. With Poshan Tracker, you only need a short learning curve to minimize repetitive tasks. Over time, you'll be able to work quickly and easily. Furthermore, the application allows for the real-time collection and updating of various data, thereby improving the quality of nutrition and health services provided by the AWC.

Features:

Custom Dashboards: Users can view dashboards tailored to their specific role (e.g., AWW, supervisor, administrator), ensuring quick access to relevant data.

Beneficiary Filters and Search Tools: The app allows users to categorize and search beneficiaries by name, age group, nutritional status, and region, saving time and improving precision.

Daily Task Reminders: Integrated reminders help users keep track of pending tasks, growth monitoring dates, or immunization schedules.

Geo-Tagging and Attendance Capture: GPS-enabled attendance logs and photo capture features enhance transparency and validate fieldwork.

Data Sync Across Devices: Users working across multiple devices or locations can sync data seamlessly, ensuring nothing is lost or duplicated.

Benefits:

As the release of this utility is government-mandated, it is available to be downloaded for free. This is especially dedicated to being used by Anganwadi Centre, Anganwadi Workers, and the beneficiaries. If you are part of it, you will need to register yourself first to start using the app. Once the app got launched, you will be prompted to answer the details needed in the form.

Your registered mobile number would be asked, as afterward, it will ask you to provide the OTP sent to your phone. Once all filled and confirmed, you can begin exploring the app. Unfortunately, you can possibly encounter tons of bugs while navigating through its features. The major one that you could surely encounter is the restriction in input fields.

It only supports typing in English languages thus, putting names or other details in Hindi or other regional languages is not possible. If you've mistakenly entered data, no 'Delete' or 'Change' option is available for you to update it with the correct information. Lastly, this utility tool also performs extremely slow; it takes a long time to respond.
