CIHEB KENYA embraces and utilizes Digital Health Technology

CIHEB Kenya strives to develop client centered and relevant digital innovations and data management solutions with a purpose to improve the quality of life of our clients and ensure efficient business processes in data management.

CIHEB Kenya has a track record in digital innovations some of which have been scaled up nationally. For instance, leveraging on the Kenya Quality model for Health (KQMH) framework, CIHEB Kenya successfully developed the Continuous Quality Improvement platform- a dashboard that has been adopted by the Ministry of health to address gaps in under-performing health indicators.

In line with Kenya’s Digital Health Act 2023, CIHEB Kenya continues to develop and scale up digital health solutions to solve the most pressing health needs. For instance, CIHEB Kenya developed an application called nimeCONFIRM plus which entails use of a Virtual Directly Observed Treatment Short course (VDOTs) model to ensure viremic HIV children attain HIV viral suppression with a success rate of 93%. Equally, to reach the hidden populations, CIHEB Kenya developed the B-Safe application that has been scaled up countrywide to offer essential services and information to key populations. The application features a location-based interface that identifies and displays nearby health facilities and police stations and provides real-time updates on outreach activities. Users can also request specific health services from the various health facilities.

CIHEB Kenya will continue developing client centred digital health innovations that are interoperable with ease of integration to provide health solutions for improved quality of life for all. We will continue leveraging on our strong health informatics, data analytics and implementation science capacity to develop predictive models and digital health solutions that are responsive to our clientele. We will strive to be leaders in the use of big data to provide health insights that will continually shape policy decisions to promote evidence informed health programming.
