Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Screening for Hypertension and Diabetes Among Community Groups of Older Adults in Vietnam: Mixed Methods Study
The implementation of the NCD screening app by ISHC volunteers can be an effective way to improve community-led NCD screening and increase the uptake of NCD prevention and management services at the primary health care level. However, our study has shown that some barriers need to be addressed to maximize the efficient use of the app by ISHC health volunteers to record, report, and manage the screening data.
