Description:
We aimed to appraise the available literature on CHW based mHealth approaches for caregivers to improve knowledge and management about common childhood infections and to develop a mobile application which lady health workers (LHWs) will use in their monthly visits to counsel caregivers on under five pneumonia.
South Asian children are more at risk of dying due to infections attributed to highly prevalent deadly yet preventable childhood infections. Alongside concerns about the prevalence of these infections, there has been a renewed interest in involving community health workers (CHWs) in various public health programs. However, as CHWs are increasingly asked to take on different tasks there is a risk that their workload may become unmanageable. One approach to help reduce this burden is the use of mobile technology-based healthcare solutions (mHealth) in the community. We aimed to appraise the available literature on CHW based mHealth approaches for caregivers to improve knowledge and management about common childhood infections and to develop a mobile application which lady health workers (LHWs) will use in their monthly visits to counsel caregivers on inder five pneumonia.
