To understand how health workers use and perceive the CHT, we conduct a variety of qualitative research activities such as [interviews](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/2023-q2-user-experience-research-reporting/2882), [usability tests](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/usability-report-training-cards-fab-and-nav/2938), shadowing, [surveys](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/2023-q2-ces-survey-reporting/2887), etc… To paint the full picture of how users are engaging with the CHT, we need to combine _qualitative_ research with _quantitative_ research - how users are _actually_ using the app _(not just how they tell us they use the app)_. We want to be able to answer questions like [these](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/what-would-you-like-to-know-about-how-health-workers-use-the-cht/2775), and make data-driven decisions.

We have made significant progress in integrating the CHT with [Matomo](https://matomo.org/), an open source platform that can help us gain insights into how health workers are interacting with the CHT. I wanted to share a couple of screenshots with some brief explanations and would love to get some questions or feedback from the community.

# Key Features

## Pages

* * *

In the [Pages](https://matomo.org/faq/introduction-to-page-analytics-reports/) module, you can see things like how often users are viewing different tabs or pages.

_In the example below, we can see that users are viewing Contacts tab/pages very often, Tasks tab less often, Message tab even less often._

## Row Evolution

* * *

[Row Evolution](https://matomo.org/faq/understanding-row-evolution-graphs/) can show us things like which days see the highest activity for a specific page/tab.

_In the example below, we are looking at data for the [Targets](https://docs.communityhealthtoolkit.org/apps/features/targets/) tab. We can see which days users are most frequently accessing this tab._

## Page Transitions

* * *

[Page Transitions](https://matomo.org/faq/reports/transitions-analyze-the-previous-and-following-actions-of-your-visitors-for-each-page/) allow you to choose a specific page and see which pages users are access that page from, and where they go next.

_In the example below, we can see that most users accessed the Targets tab from the Contacts tab, and after viewing the Targets tab, most users navigated to the Contacts tab again._

## Users Flow

* * *

[Users Flow](https://matomo.org/faq/reports/analyse-user-flow-reports/) is similar to Page Transitions, but gives a more complete picture of how users are navigating through the CHT.

_In the example below, we can see that most users navigated directly to the Contacts tab, and then immediately added a new clinic (household)._
