Tejascos e-Arogya is an Android tablet-based application, digitalising the work process of ANMs, who are signifi cant part of the rural healthcare echo system of Karnataka, writes Elets News Network (ENN).

ANMs are responsible for data collection as required by various healthcare programmes like CNAA, RCH, MCTS, Village Health, Sanitation and Nutrition Activities, Communicable Diseases and Non-Communicable Diseases, IDSP, Senior Citizen Healthcare and so on. They are also responsible for facilitating health services to the rural community, monitor and ensure programme benefits reaching the beneficiary. They are instrumental for providing the reports to concerned programme managers at various levels.

With the help of e-Arogya tabs, ANMs have been enabled to feed the data directly on to the tab which gets synchronised with the state governments e-Governance server on real-time basis. This digitalised work process eliminates the need for the use of paper based pre-printed registers and increases the work efficiency and accuracy.

This public health surveillance of systematic data collection, analysis, and interpretation of data on specific health events provide information support to the government to target its welfare schemes more efficiently.

The captured data has the capability to provide information regarding implementation of various welfare schemes, like postnatal care kit for BPL/SC/ST women, Janani Suraksha Yojana, etc. at the Public Health Centre (PHC) level, according to the health department.
