Evaluation of Smartphone-Based Health Monitoring Systems for Diabetic Patients in Indian Suburban Areas
type: item
description: Diabetes is a prevalent condition in Indian suburban areas, where access to healthcare services can be limited. Smartphone-based health monitoring systems offer an innovative solution to improve diabetes management and reduce healthcare disparities. A mixed-methods approach will be employed, incorporating a pre-post design with baseline assessments followed by implementation of the smartphone system. Data collection will encompass both quantitative (health metrics) and qualitative (user feedback) components. Users demonstrated high satisfaction with the system's intuitive interface, though initial engagement rates were moderate, indicating room for improvement in user initiation strategies. The preliminary findings suggest that smartphone-based health monitoring systems have potential as a supplementary tool to enhance diabetes management among urban diabetic patients. Further research is warranted to refine and validate these tools. Future studies should focus on developing more engaging user interfaces, conducting longer-term follow-ups, and exploring integration with existing healthcare infrastructure. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

The time-series forecasting models provided insights into the operational dynamics of community health centres, highlighting areas for improvement and suggesting strategies to enhance their performance. Based on the findings, recommendations include increasing investment in training for healthcare providers and implementing data-driven decision-making processes to optimise resource allocation. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Community-Wide Physical Activity Campaigns with Wearable Devices and Their Impact on Heart Health in Johannesburg, South Africa
type: item
description: Globally, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality in South Africa. Physical activity is a critical modifiable risk factor for CVD prevention and management. Participants were recruited from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in Johannesburg. The intervention comprised a series of educational sessions and regular group walks facilitated by trained volunteers. Wearable devices tracked daily physical activity levels, which were analysed using machine learning algorithms to assess adherence and effectiveness. The campaign resulted in an average increase of 15% in participants' step counts over the twelve-month period, with a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in systolic blood pressure among those who used wearable devices consistently for at least six months. This study underscores the potential of community-based interventions and wearables to improve heart health outcomes in urban South Africa. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of such campaigns and assess their impact on other CVD risk factors.

Methodological Evaluation of District Hospitals' Systems in Rwanda Using Multilevel Regression Analysis to Assess System Reliability,
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the operational systems of district hospitals in Rwanda during a specific period. A multilevel regression analysis was employed to evaluate the systems of district hospitals in Rwanda. The model incorporates both fixed effects (district-level factors) and random effects (hospital-level variability). The analysis revealed significant hospital-to-hospital variation in system performance, with some outliers showing higher reliability than expected based on their district. Multilevel regression provides a robust framework for understanding the complex interplay of district-level factors and hospital-specific variables affecting system reliability. Future studies should consider integrating more detailed data sources to improve model accuracy and extend findings across different health systems in Rwanda. district hospitals, multilevel regression, system reliability, healthcare administration Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Integrating Traditional Birth Attendants into Formal Healthcare Systems to Reduce Maternal Mortality in Benin,
type: item
description: Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) play a crucial role in maternal healthcare in rural areas of Benin, where access to formal health services is limited. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews to assess TBA practices and community needs. TBAs were found to provide essential care during childbirth, with a reported success rate of 92% in managing complications. However, they often lack formal training and support from the healthcare system. The integration of TBAs into the formal healthcare system could significantly improve maternal health outcomes by leveraging existing community networks. Formal healthcare providers should collaborate with TBAs to provide comprehensive care, ensuring that TBA practices align with recognised standards. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Time-Series Forecasting Model for Evaluating Cost-Effectiveness of Community Health Centre Systems in South Africa
type: item
description: Community health centres (CHCs) play a crucial role in South Africa's healthcare system by providing primary care services to underserved populations. However, their cost-effectiveness remains an area of interest for policymakers and stakeholders. A time-series forecasting model was employed to analyse historical data from multiple CHCs across South Africa. The model accounts for seasonal variations and trends in healthcare utilization patterns. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between the number of consultations per month and economic growth indicators, suggesting that improved service delivery could enhance economic outcomes. This study provides robust evidence on how time-series forecasting can be used to assess cost-effectiveness within CHC systems in South Africa. The findings underscore the potential for targeted interventions to optimise resource utilization. Policymakers should consider implementing a comprehensive monitoring system using similar forecasting models to evaluate ongoing service improvements and financial sustainability of CHCs. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
