Thanks for your recommendation ! OSM is a fantastic tool, and we already
integrate GNU Health with OpenStreetMap, for the Domiciliary Units, for
example.

Showing *statistics* on the usage of the GNU Health community server
should probably be shown and input at the project page level. It's a
project information and of different nature.

OK. ¿Which data (with lat/long) will be showed?

GNU Health download: Piwik could provide stats for clicks (succesful download) over ftp URL?

Community Server Usage: ¿time frame? ¿Amenity? ¿user sessions? ¿population attended?

Live: ¿active session data?

 

Congratulations for being part of the OSM project ! I'm positive you can
provide valuable information to further integrate GNU Health with it,
and with your HOT team.

Thanks, my experience is on crissis remote mapping (+floods). I carry out a local development project at La Boquilla

PS: I guess "temperature map" is same as "heat map".
