instedd.org/map/cambodiahivmobileappt/Cambodia — HIV mobile appointment reminders for patients and home-based care
We provided the technology for a project by the NGO Pangaea with the Cambodian Ministry of Health under The National Centre for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD Control (NCHADS) to build a tool which enables home-based care workers to track and remind HIV/AIDS patients to attend appointments, reducing the number who drop out of treatment. The users are home-based care workers from 7 NGOs who are responsible for managing over 1400 patients that cover 38 (and rapidly growing) different health centers. This system integrates our mobile tools with pre-existing patient databases, involved extensive field design to find an intersection of effectiveness, data privacy, and usability, and was entirely built in the Innovation Lab in Phnom Penh.
