MalarIA: A field worker decision agent for malaria prevention in Africa
Claude Build DayMalaria is a deadly disease that has been eradicated in several countries, but many African countries are still losing their lives to it. Field workers are the warriors who are instrumental in eradicating malaria with intervention mechanisms, but using the right intervention at a wrong time is extremely ineffective. They need real-time, real-world conditions on when to use these interventions. That's what MalarIA is achieving. It is built with field workers in mind, who may not have laptops in the field, so it's a Whatsapp application, enabled to speak four local languages (English, French, Portuguese and Chichewa). It provides them with conditions for intervention, and checklists so they can be prepared.
