Hi all,
My name is Madeleine Ballard and I’m the Executive Director of the Community Health Impact Coalition and an Assistant Professor at the Arnhold Institute for Global Health. In both of these capacities, I work with great teams (including @medicbot!) to catalyze the adoption of high-impact community health systems design.
I am excited to learn from and work with you all on the Community Health Toolkit!

Welcome to the forum @ohanyido! You might be interested in touching base with @fatou from Medic Mobile’s team in Dakar. I think she’d be interested to hear about your work, and she could give an overview of some CHT projects currently happening in West Africa.

Welcome to the CHT forum @Gabriela_LS! I’m on the global health faculty at the University of Washington in Seattle, and I had heard about Liga Inan from Health Alliance International staff who are based here. I don’t know very much about the project though, would be interested to hear if there are particular lessons learned, or challenges/opportunities you’d li9ke to share with the group. People might be interested to hear a post about it in the Implementation category.

Hi Everyone, I am Morena Danieli, I am a clinical psychologist working in Italy. In addition to private practice, I collaborate with the Speech and Interactive Signals Lab (http://sisl.disi.unitn.it/) of the University of Trento, Italy, on the design and evaluation of personal health care agents. While at present most of my work is in mental health care, I devoted several years of professional efforts working in the research on conversational (spoken) dialogue systems. I really welcome this community health toolkit initiative. Thanks

Hi everyone, I’m Ray Brunsting, Chief Technology Officer at the Tula Foundation, based in Canada. We have a sister organization in Guatemala, TulaSalud, that I help design, develop, deploy and support an MNCH solution similar to others based on CHT. Kawok is currently used across 6 rural health areas by >4,000 users, mostly auxiliary/field nurses.
I’ve met several people associated with Medic Mobile at various events over the years. I appreciate what you’ve being doing, and am happy to keep following along and possibly work with CHT in the future.
As others on this forum think about more then myself, I often wonder how we can improve how we collectively develop global technical solutions capable of meeting local needs, reducing custom work and duplication while increasing quality and effectiveness over time.
Keep up the great work!

@ Fatou Salutations à vous! sur notre forum! Ce sera un plaisir de vous rencontrer pour discuter du travail du CHT. J’ai bien peur que le 10 octobre ne soit pas possible. Ma probabilité d’être à Dakar sera fin octobre ou début novembre. Nous n’avons actuellement pas de bureau à Dakar.
Cependant, nous pouvons avoir un appel initial sur Skype, Zoom ou Whatsapp pour discuter du travail.
Cordialement,
Francis

Hello friends! I’m Max Dizard, Product Manager at Medic Mobile. I’m excited to be working with you to build a new model of primary healthcare that is inclusive of everyone. I believe digital health is fundamentally about using technology to do a few things really well:
- Reach people where they are to make getting care easy and elegant;
- Project manage health problems and solutions from beginning to end; and
- Provide decision support by delivering quality health information to patients and providers at the right time.
My motivation is to work with smart people to build, launch, grow, and invest in products that have tangible impact on people’s quality of life. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss CHT or health tech more broadly.
