Training on using the hypertension risk screening application for Village Health Volunteers.
Objectives
- To educate health volunteers in San Pa Tong on hypertension risks.
- To provide training on using the Hypertension Predictor mobile application.
- To establish a community-level screening mechanism for risk tracking.
Rationale
Hypertension is a prevalent chronic disease requiring early screening. Village health volunteers are key to community health.
Volunteers have high potential in tracking health behaviors and referring patients to the health system.
The Center developed a Hypertension Predictor app using Machine Learning for real-time assessment.
Training volunteers will help screen the community effectively and reduce health service burden.
