ChatCHW: AI for Community Health Workers

Across the globe, 2 billion underserved individuals rely on the services of over 2 million Community Health Workers, or CHWs. However, CHWs typically are only given weeks of training and limited resources to serve their communities, making the quality of care often very inconsistent.

ChatCHW is the tool that we are designing to better help these CHWs with serving their communities, featuring the ability to ask questions, display a diagnosis, and recommend treatment based on existing clinical guidelines, ensuring that CHWs are able to provide better and more consistent levels of care to those members of their communities.
