@r0bby @shbucher @iainbarclay I have submitted my proposal and am eagerly waiting for your suggestions on how to improve it. Here is a link to my POC([https://github.com/AkshobhyaP/LibreHealth](https://github.com/AkshobhyaP/LibreHealth)) and would also like to know your views about it. Thank You. ---

@r0bby Thank you. I will surely do that. Any other ways I can work on improving it. I was thinking of adding code snippets of some of the major components. ---

Hello @shbucher,@r0bby, I’m Harshit from India . This is a great project Idea and I’m interested in it. I have read through and I have an idea and made the POC repository: > **[GitHub - Harshit564/librehealth\_parent: Android application for mothers and guardians of...](https://github.com/Harshit564/librehealth_parent)** > > Android application for mothers and guardians of newborn babies in Kenya to receive and display birth information and elements of essential newborn care, such as immunization records. ---

Dear @iainbarclay, I would like to know what technology would be used for the backend and would we be getting the data in a json format.Moreover is it necessary to have code contributions to apply for this project. Thank you, Abhishek. ---

@r0bby Don’t we have to use the Evernym API for backend as mentioned in the problem statement or can we use a REST API with Retrofit for making the code easier to work on in future as more people are familiar with it. ---

Hi all, I’ve just reviewed all the proposals we have submitted to us already, I haven’t looked at any code, just the proposals - some general comments - tidy and well presented proposals give an immediate good impression (and the opposite!), some people have taken time to think about self-sovereign identity and how it will impact this work and the area we are working in - this is good, and shows engagement and interest in the project area. Thanks for all your work so far, and good luck with the rest of the process. ---

@N-Alli similarly. In your case, the title shows you have a lack of attention to detail. LibreHealth is one word, not two and you can leave that out, just put, “Android application to show birth registration and newborn health data” as the title. This goes all of you who submitted proposals, ensure your title matches the project title on the forums…also don’t use PHP for the backend… [https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/5182975743885312/proposal/5527771859648512/](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/5182975743885312/proposal/5527771859648512/) ---
