Start Date: 30/09/2018- End Date: 31/01/2021


In the Amazon region, home visits by community health agents (CHAs) have been identified as a key intervention to improve child health through the provision of health education and referrals. This project will provide CHAs with a tablet-based tool that includes a dynamic agenda to drive the home visit, videos that appear at certain stages to deliver health messages with consistency, a data collection tool to track health indicators and infections, and a monitoring mechanism to ensure home visits are being executed effectively.
