A major concern for Kenya’s Ministry of Health and Sanitation is the management of diarrhoea, the 3rd most common cause of mortality/morbidity in-country; with a case fatality of up to 21%. The ministry conducted a survey in Nov-2006 through the Division of Child & Adolescent Health which revealed gaps in diarrhoea diseases management. Our innovation implements a mobile phone App platform that gathers daily diarrhoea information at household level & relays it to community health workers for intervention. Our Platform aptly named Ground Zero; is a system made up of “COHESION”, our homegrown android based App, simple Smartphone’s & portable state of the art biometric scanners (Simprints™). With this system, we are able to collect and collate household-level, daily diarrhoea information in realtime, shared by both CHW's & Clinics. The system works using the Kenya Essential Package of Health (KEPH), with a particular interest in Pregnant women/infants & children under 5
