I know I’ve done this in @dhis2.org before… But how do I do it again? The DHIS2 AI Assistant can help you find answers by letting you ask questions directly instead of searching through multiple pages of documentation. #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth #AI

Metadata naming seems like a small detail… Until your @dhis2.org instance has hundreds of data elements. One implementation lesson changed how I think about naming metadata. 🎥 Before You Name Your Data Elements... Watch This #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth

Measuring public health behaviors like physical activity is incredibly tough compared to tracking diseases. In my latest video, I show how to build an aggregate dataset from scratch in @dhis2.org to track daily step goals. 📊🏃♂️ Link in the comments #DHIS2 #PublicHealth
Whether it's data entry forms, metadata, dashboards, or new features in @dhis2.org , the best solutions start with understanding the people who use them. Technology changes quickly. People don't. #DHIS2 #HumanCenteredDesign #Technology
Health systems collect data on diseases, treatments, and outcomes. But how do we measure healthy behaviours? I've been working on a new DHIS2 tutorial that explores exactly that. 🎥 Coming soon. #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth
Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the #DAC2026 in Oslo! Your participation helped to make this event a success, creating opportunities for our global partners, developers, and implementers to connect, collaborate, and share innovations. Photos: dhis2.canto.global/v/DAC2026/al...
Grateful to have been selected as a finalist for the inaugural @dhis2.org Contribution Award. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who nominated, voted, and supported the tutorials, articles, and videos I've been creating. 🚀 #DHIS2 #DAC2026
The DHIS2 Annual Conference is a great reminder that DHIS2 is more than software; it's a global community. Communities remain valuable even in an age of AI, documentation, and search engines. Experience, stories, and shared learning still matter. #DHIS2 #DAC2026 #DigitalHealth #Community
Default Form, Section Form, or Custom Form? I put together a short video comparing the three data entry form options available in @dhis2.org (DHIS2) and explain why I generally recommend Section Forms for most implementations. Trying to make DHIS2 concepts a little easier to navigate.
This short video explains what datasets are in @dhis2.org and how they support aggregate reporting and data collection workflows. #DHIS2 #Datasets #DataElements #Indicators #OrganisationUnits
Honored to be selected as a finalist for the 2026 DHIS2 Contribution Award. I’ve been working on creating beginner-friendly DHIS2 tutorials and short-form educational content, so this recognition from the community means a lot. Grateful to everyone who has supported the journey so far 🙏 #DHIS2
The 2026 DHIS2 Awards finalists are here — and voting is now open! 🗳️ community.dhis2.org/t/vote-now-t... Cast your vote before the deadline and help recognize the teams and individuals making a difference! The winners will be announced live from the DHIS2 Annual Conference in Oslo. #DHIS2
When learning @dhis2.org, I’ve realized that understanding the fundamentals step by step matters more than trying to learn everything at once. If you’ve worked with DHIS2, what’s one lesson you wish you had known earlier? Link: mayamikomendamenda.medium.com/getting-star... #DHIS2 #GettingStarted
Struggling with @dhis2.org indicators? Here’s how to create one in under 60 seconds using DHIS2 version 43. #DHIS2 #Metadata #DataManagement #Indicators #DigitalPublicGoods
Indicators help turn raw data into something meaningful. In this short @dhis2.org video, I explore how indicators support better reporting, analysis, and decision-making. #DHIS2 #DataMangement #DigitalPublicGoods #Indicators
When working with @dhis2.org, how do you choose the right data collection approach? Start with the end in mind. In many cases, aggregate data is the right foundation. Quick guide 👇 medium.com/learning-dat...

You’ve broken your data down by age and gender in @dhis2.org … But what are you actually measuring? That’s where data elements come in, with things like; number of voters or valid votes. I put together a short video explaining this (and how to set them up using CSV):
Imagine trying to understand voter turnout… but only having totals. In @dhis2.org , this is where categories and category options come in (like age groups: 17–20, 21–24… up to 80+). Here is a quick way to create them quickly using CSV 👇 www.youtube.com/shorts/eD6MX...
Ever had to create lots of options in @dhis2.org ? Imagine adding 50 languages to a form field like: English Bemba Nyanja Tonga Lozi Ngoni Kaonde Ila Doing it one by one gets tedious fast. There’s a much quicker way 👇 🎥 youtube.com/shorts/tvihb... #DHIS2 #DigitalHealth
Are you getting started with @dhis2.org? I will be sharing some resources and tutorial videos for you to get up to speed with it. Link: www.youtube.com/shorts/FuSn_... #dhis2 #tutorals
