Features: In has an inbuilt sms platform where a message is automatically sent to the client/CHV once they are registered in health facility. Registration of client is done using an iris scanner, which is the biometric identifier. This system holds bio data for the client and service providers and makes monitoring service uptake easier. The health seven pillars/components will be automated to assess facilities. An android supported App is made available to Health Management Teams, DMoH, CHEWs and CHVs for use in data entry, and reports generation. Reports from the system include performance of the health facility, disease trends, and infrastructure conditions, among other components making supportive supervision targeted and relevant.

Benefits: 1) Improve data capture, analysis and management at level 1, 2 and 3. 2) Reduction of loss to follow up; Clients will be reminded by a text message to attend scheduled hospital visits and the CHV will follow up the client where adherance has not been achieved.3) The enhanced health facilities will send feedback reports to the CHVs highlighting their perfomance and the community health summary data. 4) The CHMT will be equipped with Tablets to access real time monitoring of the healthcare data and provide targetted suppportive supervision.
