2. Introduction
NavigateHealth is currently a concept for developing a mHealth system to digitize the
HIV/health service mapping (facility and community based programs and pharmacy
services) and include crowdsourced feedback on service delivery. Community Health
Workers (CHW) will be able to access the system on an android based smartphone to
see where to send their clients for specific services, e.g. VCT, PMTCT, pharmacies,
household economic strengthening, etc.
Desired functionalities:
• List of service outlets
• Services provided at service outlets
• Detailed maps of and directions to nearby service outlets based on current
location
• Contact information of service outlets provided
• Directions and time to selected service outlet sent to client via SMS
• Referral form sent to client to take to service delivery outlet via SMS
• Crowdsourced reviews of service outlets

3. Village in Africa
Have you gone
to get your
ARVs? Has your
son been
tested?
CHWNAOMI
Not yet…
Why not?
I’m scared to go to
the village health
center. I may run
into someone I
know.

4. DILEMMA:
How does this CHW help her
avoid potential discrimination
in her community given her
HIV+ status?
What should I
do?
I know of this
other health
facility, but I’m not
sure what services
they offer or the
quality of care.
…I’m not
sure.

SOLUTION
What’s that?
Let me show
you!
If you would like to test your child
and get treatment, here is a facility
outside of the village that offers
both services, and it is only 3km
away. It’s called Humanity First.
Look at this map.
How do I know that they will
respect me given my HIV
status? I also do not have a lot
of time.
The reviews are all very good!
Apparently most people really like it, it
gets 4 stars, and other patients have
said the wait time is only 15 minutes.
See here!

11. The directions were
so easy to follow. It
is only 3 km away.
The SMS directions
were so helpful!

feedback.

14. Naomi was one instance when this solution would be
incredibly useful. Other possible scenarios include:
• Emergency nutrition
• Child protection
• Psychosocial support services
• Accessibility barriers – directions to the closest
facility in real time, updated maps and service
point lists in the event of disaster, humanitarian
crisis
Use case scenarios

15. What are your thoughts?
Any feedback?
