Abstract

Community Health workers (CHW) are the foundation of public health services which aimed at bridging the gap between communities, health and social service system, navigating the health and human services system and educating communities on disease prevention unfortunately, the way of sharing and accessing information for delivering the services is often very unreliable, using manual system for reporting which can cause error and falsification. Furthermore, the Staff which performs these duties often they do not have knowledge about disease and health system training or education. To address this need, developing of A Mobile application System for CHWs), which enables community health workers to automatically send report of monthly activities without using any manual input form. Making use of digital device (the smart phone, PDAs, and augmented stability the mobile application wills automatically allow submit report, transfer knowledge, sharing information and receiving training by using the user interface which will be have the features like social media. Also the electronic file for entering information. The system will be recording and uploaded to a central server for use by CHWs supervisor and the health manager official.

Summary

Introduction

A mobile Application Based on Community Health Workers provides communities health workers, over the last decade, the ownership of mobile phones in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has significantly increased and influenced numerous domains. Other physician networking sites include QuantiaMD (www.quantiamd.com), Doctors Hangout (www.doctorshangout.com), and Doc2Doc (doc2doc.bmj.com) Many of these sites require doctors to submit their credentials to a site gatekeeper, recreating the intimacy of a “physicians lounge” in an online environment [40], the site provides dedicated group pages for medical directors working in a wide range of sectors, including: hospital, veterans affairs, medicare, group practice, employer, behavioural health, managed care, correctional facility, and long-term care, as CHWs serves public mostly in rural Social media can save them because it have created vast global networks that can quickly spread information and mobilize large numbers of people to facilitate greater progress toward public health goals [41], the social media has an positive impact has the negative (dangers). Future mobile application system are expected to include larger databases as well as CDSS for CHWs daily activities, comparable to features that are already built into the GeneXus smart devices an mobile application system designed for CHWs as health care professional for digitalized the system used Future mobile application system are expected to include larger databases as well as CDSS for CHWs daily activities, comparable to features that are already built into the GeneXus Smart Devices an mobile application system designed for CHWs as health care professional for digitalized the system used, I recommend the designer (research) to do deep research on how mhealth can be used by CHWs to exchange information and, to help them for diagnosis and predicting diseases in earlier stage, which will lead to the brightness of health care services worldwide
