Product overview
MHN’s Custom Health IT practice builds tailor-made applications and integrations to meet unique clinical, programmatic, or operational needs that off-the-shelf HMIS modules don’t cover. These solutions range from mobile apps for community health workers to telemedicine platforms, clinical decision support systems (CDSS), and specialized registries (e.g., cancer, TB, NCDs).
Typical Solution Types & Features
Community Health Worker (CHW) Mobile Apps: Offline data capture, sync-on-connect, multimedia counseling aids, GPS-based visit tracking.
Telemedicine & Remote Monitoring: Video consults, secure messaging, device telemetry ingestion (BP, glucose monitors).
Clinical Decision Support (CDSS): Rule-based alerts, integrated care pathways, evidence-based treatment reminders.
Disease Registries & Screening Programs: Longitudinal follow-up, cohort tracking, algorithmic prioritization for outreach.
Workflow Automation & RPA: Automating repetitive administrative tasks (claims reconciliation, lab result triage).
Custom Integrations: Payment gateways, national ID systems, third-party analytics, EMR/PM interfaces.
Development Approach
Discovery & co-design: Stakeholder workshops, process mapping, user personas.
Agile delivery: Iterative sprints with regular demos and user acceptance testing (UAT).
UX/UI focus: Low cognitive load interfaces, localization, accessibility, support for older adults/low-literacy users.
Quality & testing: Unit tests, integration tests, performance and user acceptance testing in representative environments.
Offline & Low-connectivity Design Patterns
Local encrypted DB + conflict resolution strategies.
Delta-sync and resumable uploads.
Minimal bandwidth UI variants.
Regulatory & Ethical Considerations
Informed consent workflows for telemedicine and remote monitoring.
Clinical safety assurance for CDSS (documented validation, clinician override logs).
Data anonymization/pseudonymization for research modules.
Value Proposition
Rapidly close digital gaps with products built to local context.
Reduce cost and time compared to full custom builds by reusing MHN platform building blocks.
Increase adoption through co-design and clinician involvement.
