ABSTRACT The ability to observe current trends in health information and predict the future health status of a country is an important goal of health service institutions. Health information systems are used to accumulate, validate and examine data in order to provide information which is used in the formation of health policies. The fast growth and integration of databases means health scientists now have a huge resource that can be studied to make inferences and reveal valuable trends. Dev...
Abstract Access to potable water is a difficulty for about a quarter of the world’s population. The people living in the northern regions of Ghana, which have arid to semi-arid vegetation cover, form a significantly large percentage of that number in Ghana. Rainwater harvesting has been found to be an appropriate measure to mitigate the effects of water shortages, but its practice has also been fraught with various challenges. Advancing technology has encouraged much research into the best ...
Abstract Effective democratic governance is still gaining its roots in Ghana. With time, people have become more aware of their societies and the effort put in by their leaders to make it better. For a leader, being accountable to the people is taking steps to ensure that his or her actions and promises are binding. Accountability remains one of the challenging factors in governance because the people can assess the performance of the incumbent. This project therefore seeks to provide a syste...
Abstract Hospitals in Ghana still operate with the file-based system approach due to the absence of a health management system. While this approach works, it is an ineffective way to store and manage health records. Hospitals consume large amounts of paper in preparing medical records, lab reports, and prescriptions. With information scattered all over the place, it becomes difficult to manage and keep track of. In this paper, a solution proposed is a health management system whereby various ...

Axis Human Capital Limited, a human capital management and development company in Ghana, needed a mobile application that mitigates the problems that their clients face when using their website and has other important features that successfully support their processes and improve them where necessary. This paper proposes a hybrid mobile application, Axis M...
Abstract Machine learning and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has grown nearly exponentially over the past few years. However, growing fears over the nature of AI and the use of user data by large companies has put an air of distrust over the ML community. This makes it hard to collect more data with better user representation is needed to train more useful and accurate models and creates a unique problem space that my project seeks to tackle. It raises the question; how might...
ABSTRACT As each day passes, new ways of improving our lives through technology emerge. Companies keep on exploring ways of reaching out to their customers and other stakeholders in a way that is more comfortable and efficient. Regardless of their exploration, the problem of presenting information in a way that allows quick retrieval of information by users remains a challenge. To solve the problem of information retrieval, companies have implemented search bars on their website and other fun...
Abstract As decade after decade passes, the world has proved extremely progressive especially in technology. As the world goes completely digital and most people become computer savvy, it is pivotal to have programming skills to avoid becoming redundant. In creating a world where programming skills is a culture, it is necessary to instil such skills right from the start with children. Therefore, teaching programming in schools is just as necessary as other core subjects. Nevertheless, in many...
Abstract Along with a proliferation of electronic gadgets and devices for the home and office, the past few years has seen a steady increase in the degree of automation of devices in the home or office. A number of opportunities have been provided by commercial products as well as self developed systems that incorporate a means of controlling and/or monitoring devices. However many of the solutions provided are either expensive or limited in their application. This project is concerned with t...
Abstract Humans are good at classifying things because our brains are adept at understanding contextual nuances. Machines, however, need to be fed the right features to achieve reasonably good levels of classification. Classifying text manually is a time-consuming and expensive process especially in the information age where a combination of the success of cloud computing, big data and the resurgent trend of the internet of things as well as unprecedented population growth have led to an expl...
ABSTRACT In Kenya, youth unemployment rate is 80% of the unemployed population. These are people between the ages of 18 to 35 years. In most households where parents are working, it is very hectic to get a reliable and suitable household employer to take care of their homes when they are away working. Linking the unemployed population to prospective employers in the informal sector is therefore very necessary. This write up gives details of a job listing user friendly web application, created...
Abstract This paper documents an attempt to create an algorithm for multi tempo music lyric transcription. This paper reviews music information retrieval as a field of study and identifies music lyric transcription as a subset of the music information retrieval field. The difficulties of music lyric transcription are highlighted and a gap in knowledge in the field is identified. There are no algorithms for music transcription that are applicable to all forms of music, they are usually special...
