Monitoring & Evaluation

Our approach to digital health assessments focuses on end-to-end translational research. It encompasses a range of methodologies, from developing user-centered prototype testing tools and conducting cognitive testing to running large-scale effectiveness, implementation, and cost-effectiveness studies.

Examples of our work include implementation research evaluating efficiency in the real world scenario, and assessing scalability for decision support.
