Dr James O’Donovan and Dickson Mbewe speak to Dr Matt Harris and Dr Nina Zhu from The Fleming Initiative, a joint initiative between Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare Trust, to explore how CHWs are detecting resistant infections early, educating communities on responsible antibiotic use, and feeding real-time data into national AMR dashboards.

Dr James O’Donovan and Dickson Mbewe sit down with Mallika Raghavan (Deputy Chief Program Officer, Last Mile Health) and Hamid Abdullah (Implementation Lead, Khushi Baby), to explore why accurate, verified data are the bedrock of improved community-health outcomes, understand the practical barriers that lead to erosion of data quality in the field, and showcase how digital platforms, from mobile apps to biometric-enabled dashboards, can embed validation, reduce errors, and give CHWs real-time feedback to support their work.

Dr James O’Donovan and Dickson Mbewe trace the evolution of digitisation in community health work with Brian DeRenzi (Global Director of Research Strategy, Dimagi) and Kanishka Kantara (Chief Digital Health Officer, Living Goods). Together, they explore how data-enabled tools are reshaping CHWs’ relationships with both communities and governments.
