Swasthya Samvedana Sena

Maternal health has emerged to become the de facto focus area of many public health programs initiated by both public and private entities. The District of Sabarkantha in Gujarat is no stranger to such intervention programs. The district has a fairly large group of Health workers who are constantly improving the lives of women and families in their community by offering key preventive health services. While the health workers face many challenges such as lack of quality health content or lack of necessary support system for knowledge upgradation; the administration faces far larger problems pertaining to training of the health workers and tracking and monitoring their performance to improve the effectiveness of the health workers.

Project ‘Swasthya Samvedana Sena’ intends to support these frontline health workers by giving them a mobile based tool that puts a wealth of vernacular maternal health information in their hands. The interactive health content covers a range of topics . As the health workers use the tool in their everyday discussions and meetings with women in their communities, the administration is able to track and monitor their activity, using a web based dashboard, to draw valuable insights from them.
