Automate the processing of verbal autopsy data

OpenVA_Pipeline

Automates the processing of verbal autopsy (VA) data from an ODK Aggregate server, through the openVA Pipeline middleware, and ending with a DHIS2 server (with the VA module). VA data are analyzed using the openVA package in R (see The openVA Toolkit article for more details).

The documentation for the openVA Pipeline can be found at: http://openva-pipeline.readthedocs.io/

Getting Started

The OpenVA Pipeline has been designed for (and tested on) Ubuntu LTS 20.04. The steps to install and configure the pipeline can be found in docs/setup.md. To make the installation easier, there is also a bash shell script ubuntu_installation.sh that installs all necessary software (the script requires the sudo password). The script also works for Ubuntu LTS 22.04.
