The Protocol Support Tool

This document outlines the guidelines from the Cape Town meeting regarding the development of the Protocol Support Tool (PST). Key features include a lightweight design, offline functionality, user-friendly interface, and expandability. It should support multiple platforms and integrate with EpiInfo, providing multilingual capabilities. The current PST functions like a standard help system, featuring various document types including Excel spreadsheets and PDFs. Participants are encouraged to test the PST in small groups and provide feedback for ongoing improvement.
