Tonoudayo: the App improving coverage and care in Togo
Named after the Kabyè phrase for “How’s Your Health?“, Tonoudayo is more than an mHealth solution—it’s a heartfelt question we ask every patient we serve. Crafted for the unique healthcare challenges of Togo, the Tounoudayo app leverages our five years of on-the-ground experience in digital health, and expertise worldwide using Medic’s open source Community Health Toolkit.
Impact
The rollout of Tonoudayo has not only enhanced patient care by improving follow-up (resulting in more women giving birth at health centers and increased utilization of pre-natal care services) but also optimized resource use, including a significant reduction in paper consumption and the reallocation of personnel to core activities.
We achieve a 96% facility-based delivery rate between January and March 2024, which was made possible in part due to enhanced patient follow-up with Tonoudayo
2 people were re-allocated from data entry to other core activities
Meet Nestor
Meet Nestor, a Community Health Worker in Bassar, Togo, who is transforming healthcare delivery through the Tonoudayo app. This digital tool empowers Nestor to manage patient care effectively, enhancing healthcare access and outcomes in remote communities.
Replication in Guinea
In Guinea, our Country Director, Dr. Aboubacar Diakité, showcased the app to key stakeholders including the Ministry of Health. Just as we tailored our approach for Togo, we will customize Tonoudayo to align with Guinean health protocols with a focus on child vaccinations.
