As #digitalhealth matures and becomes more widely implemented, a stubborn gap remains: evidence. Are the interventions improving health outcomes? Which are the most cost-effective? A new opinion in Devex by our PATH team members Tara Herrick, Peder D., and Laura Edison Kallen, MPH explores these questions and provides an overview of a new Digital Square at PATH research supplement on the impact, costs, and cost-effectiveness of digital health interventions in Oxford Open Digital Health. 📰 Read the op-ed: https://lnkd.in/eVb39J-s

"ROI" or "Return on Investment" can be a pretty cold statement when we are talking about *real human lives*. But this is the key question we are all asking: "How do we improve as many peoples lives as possible when the resources are thin?" Akros partnered with Digital Square at PATH to apply their Total Cost of Ownership tool and analyze the ROI of the digital tool, Reveal, when it comes to planning and deploying health campaigns, in this case indoor residual spray (IRS) for malaria prevention. Findings: in year one, use of Reveal to plan and deploy the IRS campaign reduced the cost per malaria case averted by 15% (increasing to 23% for years 2-5). Take home: Empowering field teams with digital maps and geo-spatial planning tools like Reveal supports them to get health services to all, even in the most remote and challenging conditions. Investing in #opensource and #geospatial means better ROI outcomes in global health. https://lnkd.in/gH6VWkan

An interesting perspective on the cost effectiveness of digital tools.

"Every advance in health has depended on multilateral cooperation. Today, the fraying of solidarity is undermining health. Leaders can choose health security. But only if that security is for every person, everywhere." Read Winnie Byanyima's latest piece https://lnkd.in/dMsaa6UU

Please join us for the below webinar if you are available. The importance of this webinar, among other things, is that it introduces the new direction that our renamed Africa Centre for Inclusive Health Management is now taking and centering inclusivity in health access, health innovations, the health economy, health management and more..especially in view of interfacing, emerging and re-emerging issues like climate change, mpox, TB, Covid-19 and other poly crises abound.
