    In the 2011 Nepal DHS, interviewers collected household data on their tablet PCs and submitted it to their supervisors using Bluetooth technology. Supervisors provided immediate feedback to the interviewers, when necessary, and transferred the data to the central office using a protocol called Internet File Streaming System.
