Community health workers are stationed in low-resource or rural settings, where consistent power access is limited and, at times, requires long hours of travel to access power, either the national grid or solar-based. In addition, their devices have limited storage, further complicating their ability to visit and provide care in the allocated households, which are expansive. Optimizing CHT apps can help improve user experience, prolong device lifespan, and contribute to reducing overall carbon footprints while contributing towards environmental conservation.
I engaged some CHWs in Kenya to understand how the eCHIS app ranks in power utilisation. This involved sharing the https://www.androidpolice.com/how-to-find-apps-draining-phone-battery/ application and getting extracts from their phones, as shared below
I would love to hear if anyone has experience with this, as well as possible solutions, including contributions to building them.
