Abstract

The tracking of the vitals of patients with long term health problems is essential for clinicians to determine proper care. Using Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) communicated remotely allows patients to be monitored without requiring frequent hospital visits. Issues might arise when the communication of data digitally is difficult or impossible due to a lack of access to internet or a low level of digital literacy as is the case in many African countries. The VODAN-Africa project (van Reisen et al., 2021) started in 2020 and has greatly increased the capabilities of clinics in different countries in both Africa and Asia, but currently no systems are in place for the integration of external data from patients with long term health problems. In this article we outline our investigation into methods to increase the connectivity of patients with long term health problems with their clinics, and propose a solution in the form of a data pipeline prototype based on an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.
