health.enabled’s Tara Nutley is having a pre-recorded lightning talk aired at #GlobalDigitalHealthForum on Thursday, December 5 from 11:15AM - 12:15PM EAT for a virtual event on Change Management to Facilitate Digital Adoption - a review of Frameworks. As countries increasingly invest in #DigitalHealth interventions, they strive to integrate new digital tools into their operating and business environments. Focus is placed on maximizing the value of digital solutions and sustainability. However, successful digital health interventions require an equal focus on the end user and the management structures that support them. A key missing aspect of many digital health services and strategies is change management. Change management, the process that facilitates people’s adaptation to change, has long been used to facilitate organizational change because it is ultimately people who enable transformative processes. Change management focuses on driving change by motivating, training, incentivizing, and mobilizing employees. This presentation will discuss key findings of research funded by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance on change management to improve immunization and digital health outcomes.

In partnership with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and The Johns Hopkins University, health.enabled is hosting a virtual event on Wednesday, December 4 from 5:00PM to 6:00PM EAT for #GlobalDigitalHealthForum. Join the conversation to learn more about Revolutionizing Immunization Delivery: Evaluating Cost-effectiveness of Nationally Scaled Digital Health Innovations in Nigeria, Uganda, and Bangladesh. Our session will cover experiences conducting cost-effectiveness studies on Digital Health Information (DHI) interventions for #immunization, utilizing locally adapted products, scaling these interventions nationally, and establishing strategies for ensuring sustainability. This session will discuss the latest thinking on research methods to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of diverse interventions across different geographies and review evidence to provide an overview of how #DigitalHealth interventions can revolutionize immunization services. The panel will offer a roadmap for other countries to follow in leveraging technology to enhance health outcomes sustainably and measure their impact.

Join health.enabled’s Yara A. on Wednesday, December 4, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM EAT for in-person Lightning Talks 3 at #GlobalDigitalHealthForum! Yara will host a lightning talk on Digital Health for Immunization in Fragile and Conflict Settings. #DigitalHealth for #Immunization in fragile and conflict settings leverages digital technologies to enhance vaccine delivery in areas affected by political instability, conflict, or environmental emergencies. Amidst the current 'Polycrisis'—a complex mix of economic, social, political, and environmental challenges affecting over 324 million people—innovative digital solutions are essential for continuous and effective healthcare. However, implementing these technologies in fragile settings presents multifaceted challenges: technology adoption is hindered by limited literacy, resource constraints are exacerbated by funding unpredictability and ethical concerns arise over data privacy amid weak regulatory environments. Moreover, if not managed carefully, digital health interventions can worsen existing inequalities, negatively impacting those disadvantaged by socioeconomic status, gender, age, or disability-related factors. The session will discuss key findings of research funded by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and will delve into the nuances of deploying digital health interventions in fragile and humanitarian settings, emphasizing the enablers and challenges that shape these initiatives. It will also explore specific design considerations tailored to the complexity of such environments. Register today: https://lnkd.in/gk6mpyYP

#Supportivesupervision is widely used by #immunization programs as a strategy to improve the quality of healthcare worker performance, the coverage and demand for immunization services, and health outcomes. Despite being a foundation of health programs, supportive supervision programs are not achieving their intended results. health.enabled published a technical brief in partnership with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance on the potential transformative impact that digital health interventions for supervision can have on immunization programs. Key findings include: • Enhanced monitoring, planning, and prioritization of supervision activities • Improved execution of in-person visits and health worker learning • Better communication, motivation, and performance among health workers • Enhanced data capture, quality, and analysis • Improved commodity management and longitudinal care of priority clients Read the full text here: https://lnkd.in/dDhQKd_e #GlobalHealth #HealthInnovation #DigitalHealth

Patty Mechael, Co-founder and CEO of health.enabled, recently presented at Fondation Pierre Fabre ’s ODESS 2024 conference on "Technology for prevention and response to gender-based violence". This presentation drew on the landscape and award-winning Evidence Gaps Map that health.enabled led in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic when there was a significant surge in gender-based violence. 🔗Tune in to the replays: French: https://lnkd.in/eRhM_bDk English: https://lnkd.in/ewQwRnxQ Photo Credit: Lydie Lecarpentier #ODESS2024 #DigitalHealth #Innovation #HealthEquity

Women's mental and social health and wellbeing is an area that health.enabled is doing more research, writing, and mobilization as we evolve our work in #digitalhealth to look more broadly at #digitaldeterminants of health and technology in everyday life with a proactive focus on #equity.

We are thrilled to announce that the Global Digital Health Monitor has been honored as a Bronze winner of the 4th Annual The Anthem Awards in Research Projects or Publications: Health! #Digitalhealth presents opportunities to improve health outcomes and save lives, but it can be challenging for governments to build and sustain solutions at scale. The #GlobalDigitalHealthMonitor (GDHM) is an interactive web-based resource that aims to track, monitor, and assess the enabling environment for equitable digital health throughout the world. The Monitor was developed to empower health ministries, funders, policy makers, and industry players to make informed strategic decisions about where to prioritize their investment and effort. Let us commit to harnessing the power of digital health to drive progress by continuing to provide a platform that tracks and improves digital health quality globally- it’s through our collective efforts that we can transform health systems. #HealthEquity #DigitalTransformation #AnthemAwards

Can #digitalhealth revolutionize child vaccination rates in Pakistan? Patty Mechael, CEO and Co-Founder of health.enabled, recently led the publication of “Evaluating the 'Zindagi Mehfooz' Electronic Immunization Registry and Suite of Digital Health Interventions to Improve the Coverage and Timeliness of Immunization Services in Sindh, Pakistan” in JMIR Publications. IRD’s  Zindagi Mehfooz (ZM) electronic immunization registry (EIR) is a comprehensive suite of digital health interventions that aim to improve equitable access, timeliness, and coverage of child immunizations through a smartphone-based app for vaccinators, web-based dashboards for supervisors and managers, text message alerts and reminders for caregivers, and a call center. It has been implemented at scale in Sindh Province, #Pakistan. This study, funded by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, aimed to present findings from an evaluation of the ZM-EIR suite of digital health interventions in order to improve data availability and use as a contribution, among other immunization program interventions, to enhanced immunization outcomes for children aged 12-23 months in Sindh Province. Many thanks to our research partner, Gallup Pakistan, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and others who worked with us to conduct this study and publish the results.
