Our Data Indigenous vs The NIHSS

This mobile app has been designed to support Indigenous communities by helping to collect meaningful data via surveys. The app contains information about, and access to, embedded surveys that participants can take to provide information to communities. Participants will have the option to share their insights and experiences in their own words using video, audio, and in writing. In addition to the survey, the app also provides access to cultural content produced by Our Data Indigenous staff, in the form of videos, pictures, and infographics. The in-app consent form, as well as the privacy policy, can provide details on how survey data is collected and used. Some Indigenous communities have limited access to the Internet, the app is designed to work well offline. In the event that a questionnaire has been submitted while offline, the app will wait until the device is online to prompt the user to upload the results. Also, all media content, once downloaded, can play while the device is offline. To get full access to the app, please talk to local leaders about having your community become part of the Digital Health Initiative.

The scope or application of the NIHSS is to advance and co-ordinate scholarship, research and ethical practice in the fields of Humanities and the Social Sciences (HSS) within and through the existing public universities and those to be established or declared in future as public Universities. This app connects and enhances collaboration amongst doctoral candidates, postdoctoral candidates, mentors, and other stakeholders located at different universities in different provinces and regions.
