Mission
To create rapid, proactive health care systems that meet patients at their doorstep, delivering care to end maternal and child deaths in low-resource settings.
Current technology use
MUSO's community health workers use mobile applications to conduct door-to-door health screenings, recording symptoms, vital signs, and household health data that syncs in real-time to central dashboards.
They also use a 360-degree performance management dashboard that helps keep track of the speed, quantity, and quality metrics for each Professional Community Health Worker. (CHW)
