# Introduction
Code repository for 2024 Data Science for the Common Good project with Doctors Without Borders.
Code repository for 2024 Data Science for the Common Good project with Doctors Without Borders.

Doctors Without Borders collects data from their clinics and field locations using tally sheets. These tally sheets are standardized forms containing aggregate data, ensuring no individual can be identified and no protected health information (PHI) is included. Currently, this data is manually entered into their health system by over 100 employees, a time-consuming and tedious process. Our OCR pipeline is designed to automate this data entry process, improving efficiency and accuracy.

A more detailed overview of the project is available in [our poster](docs/DoctorsWithoutBordersPoster.pdf) and [our demo video on YouTube](https://youtu.be/7CNdE1OjFKc?si=v4AYHxBNLFnatUjl).
