The key objectives of the digital systems and user requirements (DSUR) include ensuring adherence to public health and data use guidelines, promoting consistency in health content for the development of a person-centered digital tracking and decision support system, fostering a mutual understanding among health program leads and digital health teams regarding the digital system's health content, and providing a foundation of core data elements and decision support logic for COVID-19 RDTs.
The information presented in the DSUR report is based on generic, country-agnostic workflow processes, data, and decision support algorithms derived from the dSTARR project—including user-centered design toolkits and frameworks developed by PATH Living Labs, and WHO guidelines and guidance.
Additionally, the DSUR outlines connections to related services in the context of COVID-19 RDTs, such as screening, facility management for infected patients, and considerations for community management.
It is critical to note that the DSUR outputs are intentionally broad and should be tailored to align with local policies and requirements for successful implementation at the country level. Country-specific DSURs are available for Zambia and Senegal.
