Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Screening for Hypertension and Diabetes Among Community Groups of Older Adults in Vietnam: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The project of scaling up noncommunicable disease (NCD) interventions in Southeast Asia aimed to strengthen the prevention and control of hypertension and diabetes, focusing on primary health care and community levels. In Vietnam, health volunteers who were members of the Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs (ISHCs) implemented community-based NCD screening and health promotion activities in communities. The ISHC health volunteers used an app based on District Health Information Software, version 2 (DHIS2) tracker (Society for Health Information Systems Programmes, India) to record details of participants during screening and other health activities.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the strengths, barriers, and limitations of the NCD screening app used by the ISH
