Abstract

Results of research in public health highly depend on the validity of data collection and internal research processes. To ensure validity, maintaining records of all assets in the research is very important. Researchers should be able to diagnose problems by tracing back the processes that leads to the problem. In this study, we design and implement BioRio system, a portable, flexible and secure information system for public health research that will reduce human errors, and increase traceability and efficiency
