Pragati : A Mobile-based Vr Platform For Empowerment Of Community Health Workers In India
Project Description :

India has more than 1 million chws providing healthcare services to communities across the country. community health workers(chws) act as primary tool against the menace of child malnutrition, infant and maternal mortality and all other community health problems in curbing preventable diseases. their knowledge and counseling abilities have direct impact in fighting against all community health problems. but the lack of education and unskilled workforce of chws is well known. key challenges observed in lack of skilled chws are insufficient training, non-engaging and ineffective methods, passive learning, no feedback on their learning and little or no updates/trainings on new methods for healthy practices. pragati is a mobile-based virtual reality platform for training and providing skill education to chws. it consists of two major parts: educational modules and a complementary peer networking social app. the modules are based on topics related to maternal health care and care of newborn baby. the audio visual modules are interactive, immersive and memorable. every module is followed by a quiz. the peer learning app is a proposed platform for the community health workers where they can involve in knowledge sharing, self-presentation and feel a part of a larger community.
