the metadata in the digital content created that is needed to satisfy the
stringent admissibility criteria of a variety of legal institutions. Any digital

gallery and the app is hidden on the phone. Notably, the eyeWitness app
allows direct transmission of digital content to a team of legal experts that
analyze the data for their relevance and probative value through a secure

KoBo Toolbox is another open source application for field data
collection and free of cost.89 Most KoBo Toolbox users are people working
in humanitarian crises, as well as aid professionals and researchers working
in developing countries. It is an open source collection of tools for data
collection and analysis in humanitarian emergencies and other challenging
emergencies. Surveys can be conducted entirely while being offline,
regardless of what kind of device is being used during the collection process.
It provides a quick and accurate way of utilizing the data collected. KoBo
Toolbox includes tools for creating tables, summarizing indicators and a map
showing all GPS coordinates. Collected information is stored safely and
cannot be read by a third party. Moreover, the application contains
safeguards to prevent data loss. 90 Enumeration errors are minimized
because of real-time data validation.91 Therefore, using KoBo Toolbox can
assist in preserving the integrity and reliability of collected information.
Similarly, Physicians for Human Rights is currently developing the
application MediCapt. In many conflict zones, courts dismiss medical
intake forms for being inconsistent, illegible, or incomplete. MediCapt helps
clinicians in collecting, documenting, and preserving forensic medical
evidence of sexual violence and mass atrocities to support prosecution of
these crimes. The application contains a standardized medical intake form
for forensic documentation, and combines this with a mobile camera to take
pictures of injuries. This data can then be encrypted and saved in the
application’s cloud storage service. The application also embeds tamperproof metadata for each intake form and picture. 92
