Abstract
For one billion people living in the world’s poorest countries, where the burden of disease is highest, those who are born or who die are still not counted. OpenHDS is a system that can maintain a consistent record of significant demographic events that occur to a population in a fixed geographic region, generate up-to-date registration books, and compute basic demographic rates (births/age, deaths, etc). OpenHDS also provides a mobile component where data entry can be performed while in the field. OpenHDS was created as an open source health and demographics system for developing countries where demographic data is in short supply.
