Community Health Workers (CHW's) bridge the gap between healthcare providers and communities. Through the project, we aimed to explore opportunities to address the issues faced by CHW's as they served their clients. While we primarily worked with CHW's, our design had to account for their clients and the CHW-client relationship.
We identified data entry as a major pain point and created two product concepts: An interactive walkthrough app for CHW's to use on client visits; A day planner for CHW's to keep track of tasks for various clients.

THE PROJECT
THE PROJECT
Community Health Workers or CHWs bridge the gap between health care providers and communities. They are often part of the community they serve and have shared life experiences. They advocate for their community and make resources more accessible. Their impact goes beyond health and improves the lives of their clients overall.
The purpose of the project was to understand the challenges that community health workers(CHWs) faced while supporting their clients. We wanted to understand the context in which CHW’s work and explore opportunities to address the issues faced by them.

WHY IT WORKS
WHY IT WORKS
1. CHWs felt very strongly that tablets were a great choice for in-home visits as it was less intimidating to a client than a laptop
2. CHWs have many forms, packets, and tasks to go over with clients each visit & need a means to organize them
3. Clients are worried about what CHWs are doing with their information and need an interface they can understand
4. CHWs like to have visual resources to share with their clients
