User Overview (Mobile and Web Users)

CHWs (Community Health Workers): These users are typically located in the same area as the clients and will visit clients in their homes. CHWs may either: 

  • Screen for a test and then administer the test(s); or  
  • Screen multiple patients for a test(s) and then administer multiple tests     

Clinical Users: At a health clinic users may include: 

  • Nurses

  • Doctors

  • Lab Technicians

In some cases the nurses and doctors do the screening and administer the tests. In other cases the nurses and doctors screen for malaria and the lab technicians administer the test.

Use Cases
