How Tech Can Supercharge CHWs
About the Webinar:
Technology is already woven into nearly every part of a community health worker’s day, from smartphones, calendars, and messaging apps to digital documentation and care coordination platforms. But what happens when we move beyond basic tools and start thinking about technology as a true force multiplier for the community health workforce?
In this interactive conversation, CHWs and technology experts will explore how digital tools can reduce administrative burden, simplify documentation, improve organization, and help CHWs spend more time doing what they do best: building relationships and supporting their communities.
We’ll look at practical tools CHWs can use today, emerging applications of AI and other digital technologies, and what a patient-centered digital future could look like if technology is designed around the realities of CHW workflows.
Speakers include a community health worker who uses digital tools every day, a CHW who focuses on workforce education and mobility, and an engineering and technology expert. They’ll examine how purpose-built tools can reduce administrative burdens for CHWs and the organizations that support them.
