Abstract

This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital technologies in enhancing the Early Warning, Alert, and Response System for infectious disease surveillance at health facilities and community levels in Nigeria. Focusing on the gaps exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this project seeks to assess the usability, learnability, and applicability of digital tools for improving disease surveillance and control efforts in low-resource settings. The project utilizes quantitative and qualitative analyses to explore the challenges and opportunities for digital applications in public health.
