Why
In 2014, Mezzanine partnered with the University of Pretoria (UP) to develop the mobile medical assessment app AitaHealth.
What
The AitaHealth application provides an effective solution to complex requirements, namely that data is required to provide essential information that enables Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) to deliver community-oriented primary care services to defined communities. AitaHealth was developed to fulfil the following needs:
- The identification of the people who usually live in a geographical locality (by household and individual) and their domestic circumstances.
- The data collected needs to support the organisation of ongoing care and follow-up visits which require specific protocols.
- That data needs to be collected for monitoring and evaluation, which is necessary to ensure that CHWs are effective at the local level.
- The data must be able to generate new knowledge about the health of individuals, families and communities.
How
CHWs use a customised mobile application to capture the registration and assessment details of the households they visit daily.
During the household registration, the head of the household is interviewed to identify any household risks. A broad household “Triage Assessment” is also conducted to determine if any household members require assistance with key health issues.
All the data from the assessment is captured using the mobile application. In-application validation of data ensures that data is captured accurately. Built-in skip logic also assists the CHWs in asking the correct questions to the relevant household members, based on the individual’s demographics. The household members with risks are “flagged” after completing the household assessment and health screening. The CHW can then schedule a follow-up visit on a future date for the specific household. Follow-up visits are managed and tracked using a “Task Management” feature – empowering CHWs to manage their own workload and also giving their Team Leaders visibility on their visit schedule.
The details of the assessments are immediately available for Team Leaders and Managers to review using a web reporting interface. Aggregated data, trend graphs, and spatial information can be viewed at the National, Provincial, District, Team, and individual levels.
Where
AitaHealth is currently live in South Africa with over 4,800 registered users (mobile and web). Since 20 August 2014, when AitaHealth was launched in Mamelodi, the CHWs enrolled on the AitaHealth platform have collectively registered more than 730,000 households and 2,100,00 individuals and scheduled more than 850,000 follow-up visits for at-risk individuals.
