Simple App

The Simple app is used in several IHCI states for longitudinal reporting of patient outcomes and for managing the hypertension program.

WHAT IS SIMPLE?

Simple is fast, free software for clinicians to manage patients with hypertension and diabetes that is developed with IHCI and exported all over the world.

Using an Android app, healthcare workers can easily manage blood pressure and blood sugar measurements, as well as recording medications and scheduling follow-up visits. A web-based Simple dashboard gives health system managers the feedback they need to improve NCD management across facilities. Patients can install a smartphone app to chart their own progress and remember to take their medications.
