What we do
Article
|Last update
We support implementations of digital health interventions for health systems strengthening and conduct research on the optimal design and implementation of such interventions to strengthen the evidence base for global digital health.
We design and implement digital health registries (eRegistries) that enable health workers to collect individual‑level client data and support interventions such as automated reporting, clinical decision support, dashboards, and personalized messaging. Working with countries and local partners, we adapt global guidelines to context, assess data needs, develop content, define indicators, and train health workers in data management and use. All our tools are global public goods. Our implementations are accompanied by research including trials, implementation studies, and registry‑based epidemiology to build evidence for effective and scalable digital health solutions.
