Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial aims to implement and evaluate a comprehensive package of digital health interventions for integrated COVID-non-communicable diseases (NCDs) care to manage NCDs in primary care facilities in rural Pakistan. The main questions it aims to answer are 1) whether such interventions are effective; 2) how they were implemented; and 3) whether such interventions are cost-effective.
30 rural health centers in Punjab Province, Pakistan will be randomized into two groups. The intervention group will provide a comprehensive package of digital health interventions to connect patients, patient champions, and public health providers to improve the management of NCDs during the pandemic, including 1) providing training to health providers regarding an integrated NCD-COVID guideline; 2) using a smartphone app to improve NCD case management and linking with patient champions; and 3) employing telementoring platform to improve quality of care. Usual care will be provided in the control group. Researchers will compare the two groups to see if the systolic blood pressure can be controlled better in the intervention group at 10 months.
