Community health workers can use the screening app to detect risks of diabetes and hypertension in early stages of the disease, screening community members where they live, at no cost.
Screening app
Step 1: Educate trained screeners
Trained screeners learn how to perform outreach and diabetes screening.
Step 2: Provide screening opportunity
Trained screeners reach out to people at risk, which the app can help to identify.
Step 3: Conduct screening with the app
Perform more accurate screenings with an easy-to-use app.
Step 4: Refer to nearby facility
Trained screener and person-at-risk agree to a time and place for medical assessment.
Step 5: Send appointment reminders
An SMS or WhatsApp reminder is sent to the person at risk to remind them to attend a medical assessment.
