InfoAFYA™ Signal: AI-Powered Community Feedback for Primary Health Systems
InfoAFYA™ Signal is a scalable community feedback infrastructure that lets households and CHVs report service issues (e.g., stockouts, mistreatment, delays) through everyday channels like SMS or WhatsApp.
Reports are interpreted, organized, and routed to county teams for timely action, linked to existing response procedures so problems move from “heard” to handled.
Community-Led Insights, Digitally Amplified
At DPE, we believe that communities should not only receive health services, they should help shape them.
InfoAFYA™ Signal transforms traditional Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) into a digital, AI-powered feedback infrastructure that captures real-time insights from citizens, CHVs, and health workers.
By complementing existing health data systems rather than duplicating them, Signal helps counties and ministries understand why service gaps occur and respond faster.
Every report – whether about a stockout, delay, or act of care – becomes actionable intelligence for a more accountable, people-centered health system.
