Title
Digital Technologies for Rapid Household level diarrhea reporting in Community
Directed Intervention

Abstract Body
A major concern for Kenya’s Ministry of Health and Sanitation is the management
of diarrhoea, the 3rd most common cause of mortality/morbidity in-country; with a
case fatality of up to 21%. The ministry conducted a survey in Nov-2006 through
the Division of Child & Adolescent Health which revealed gaps in diarrhoea
diseases management. Our innovation implements a mobile phone App platform
that gathers daily diarrhoea information at household level & relays it to
community health workers for intervention. Our Platform aptly named Ground
Zero; is a system made up of “COHESION”, our homegrown android based App,
simple Smartphone’s & portable state of the art biometric scanners (Simprints™).
With this system, we are able to collect and collate household-level, daily
diarrhoea information in realtime, shared by both CHW's & Clinics. The system
works using the Kenya Essential Package of Health (KEPH), with a particular
interest in Pregnant women/infants & children under 5
