    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-27) Getrude Adrupio; Kevin Taimwa; Priscillar Nakintu
    The SACCO Loan Management Information System is a computerized database of financial information organized and programmed in such a way that it produces regular reports on operations for every level of management in a SACCO; it is usually also possible to obtain special reports from the system easily. The general objective of the study was to design a loan management information system that could improve loan record handling and bring about timely Loan processing. The study's specific objectives of study were to investigate and gather data about the existing manual system being used at Kisoboka Farmers SACCO Ltd, analyze the requirements for the new system. Develop a loan management information system for Kisoboka Farmers' SACCO Ltd, and test and implement the new system. After gathering the requirements, entity relation diagrams and data flow diagrams were used to design the loan management information system. Microsoft Visual Basic 2005.net was used to create user interfaces and Microsoft Access was used to create the database. The SACCO loan management information system developed authenticates System users and enables them to capture and store loan records and client banking records, the system allows the users to view loan reports and Client payment records, also the system calculates payment denominations for loans [1]. The SACCO loan management information system reduces the burden of over-compiling papers and the need for more shelves which reduces congestion in Kisoboka Farmers' Sacco Ltd [2].

    Agrogetaway Web Application
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-15) Ddumba, Timothy; Gortland, Jim James; Tryphine, Nalule; Josephine, Namuwonge; Joan, Nabirye; Adam, Murungi
    The Agrogetaway project is an innovative initiative aimed at transforming the agricultural landscape by leveraging technology to facilitate knowledge exchange between farmers and agricultural enthusiasts. This web-based platform serves as a conduit for sharing best practices, advanced farming techniques, and practical knowledge through an interactive and user-friendly interface. The project's cornerstone is the creation of a digital community where users can book farm tours, access a wealth of educational resources, and engage in real-time discussions with experienced model farm managers. Agrogetaway addresses the critical challenge of improving agricultural produce quality in Uganda, which directly impacts the nation's competitiveness in the global market and its food security. By connecting users with model farmers and providing a repository of multimedia educational content, the platform fosters a collaborative environment for learning and growth. The project also introduces a novel feature, 'Communities,' structured around model farmers, where users can subscribe for exclusive insights and direct mentorship. The platform's development followed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative research to ensure comprehensive user-centric design and functionality. Evaluations indicate user satisfaction and a gradual increase in engagement, although challenges such as a lack of scientific depth and device compatibility were identified. Recommendations for future enhancements include infrastructure improvements, user education programs, and advanced security measures. Agrogetaway's vision is to empower farmers with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance productivity and sustainability, ultimately contributing to the advancement of the agricultural sector. The project's ongoing development and research aim to expand its reach, improve user experience, and solidify its position as an indispensable resource for modern agriculture.

    Plant AI: An Application System for Detecting Plant Disease
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-14) Joash Otto
    This project introduces an innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) system specifically designed to address the pressing problem of plant diseases which significantly impact agricultural productivity. The urgency for early detection technologies to mitigate crop losses is more crucial than ever. In response, our AI model employs advanced deep learning algorithms, trained on an extensive dataset of leaf images covering a diverse range of diseases, highlighting the approach to tackling the identified problem. The capability of our system to precisely recognize disease symptoms in plants has undergone rigorous testing, yielding a high success rate in disease identification, which constitutes our key findings.Anand, R., Mishra, R.K. and Khan, R. (2022) The implementation phase involved developing a user-friendly application, making the technology accessible to farmers and enabling early disease detection to improve crop management and production. This operational approach emphasizes the practical application and field usability of our system. The successful outcomes of the project not only underscore the AI system's effectiveness in identifying plant diseases but also underscore its significant potential to revolutionize agricultural practices by democratizing access to advanced diagnostic tools. Furthermore, this report delves into the comprehensive development process of the AI system, from the initial data collection and model training phases to the nuances of application development and field testing. Through this detailed narrative, we aim to highlight the substantial benefits and the expansive future potential of integrating AI technologies in agriculture. In this context, the abstract serves as a concise reflection of the entire project, meticulously answering the critical questions of what problem is being addressed, how it is approached, what the findings are, and why these findings matter. This not only fulfills the purpose of providing a snapshot of the project's essence but also functions as a guiding framework for the report, ensuring coherence and focus throughout the document.

    Corrected Doc Ease Group Project Dissertation
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-05-08) Muzamil Abdul Wahab Moga; Charles Muganga; Saidi Mukasa; Nathan Murungi; Samantha Ryan Bagenda; Claire Anne Nakaziba
    Access to efficient and comprehensive healthcare services remains a significant challenge for patients in Uganda, primarily attributed to the absence of centralized and functional medical records systems. This deficiency impedes healthcare providers' ability to deliver optimal care, resulting in inefficiencies in medical treatments, monitoring processes, and informed decision-making [1]. Despite efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure, approximately 60% of Uganda's population, residing in diverse rural and urban areas, face limited access to healthcare facilities. Moreover, the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (2022) reveals that only 23% of health facilities across the country possess complete and functional computerized systems for recording patient information. Consequently, fragmented medical records persist as a pervasive barrier to timely and effective healthcare delivery, affecting individuals nationwide. In response to these challenges, Doc Ease Project aims to develop and deploy a comprehensive electronic medical records (EMR) platform tailored to Uganda's healthcare landscape. By implementing this EMR system across healthcare facilities, both urban and rural, the project seeks to enhance access to healthcare services, streamline medical treatments, and enable data-driven decision-making among healthcare providers. Through a combination of technological innovation, capacity-building initiatives, and strategic partnerships, the Doc Ease Project endeavors to address the systemic challenges hindering healthcare accessibility and delivery in Uganda, ultimately improving health outcomes and quality of life for individuals across the country. The significance of the Doc Ease Project lies in its potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery in Uganda by providing a robust, user-friendly, and accessible electronic medical records solution. By centralizing patient information and facilitating seamless data exchange among healthcare providers, the project aims to overcome the barriers posed by fragmented medical records and limited healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, the Doc Ease Project's emphasis on capacity-building and partnerships underscores its commitment to sustainable healthcare solutions tailored to Uganda's unique context. Ultimately, the project's contribution extends beyond technological innovation to encompass broader improvements in healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes, thereby addressing a critical need and making a lasting impact on Uganda's healthcare landscape.
