Here we share findings from an interventional operational research study evaluating the feasibility of deploying a digital tool and rapid diagnostic tests to support community-based testing for priority medical conditions across three rural and peri-urban communities in Guinea. An existing web-based application was modified to include integrated symptom screening for malaria and COVID-19, maximize workflow efficiency and conduct end-to-end data capture on tablet devices. Using the application, community health workers screened participants for symptoms of malaria and COVID-19, with eligible participants tested using rapid diagnostic tests. All participants also underwent blood pressure and blood glucose measurements, while malnutrition screening was offered to pregnant women or children under 5\u00a0years. Services were provided to residents through mass consultations and home care visits across the study locations. The intervention reached 5204 people overall, with 3241 people enrolled via the application. 32.4% and 15.8% of participants had elevated blood pressure and blood glucose levels, the majority of whom were previously undiagnosed. Of those tested for malaria, 3.2% (n\u00a0=\u200928\/876) tested positive. The digital tool was successful in providing end-to-end data capture, with 99% of participants having their rapid diagnostic test results captured in real-time, and all outcomes reported into the Ministry of Health database. Together, the study demonstrates the feasibility of using a web-based digital tool to support community health workers with providing community-based diagnostic services in rural and peri-urban communities in a low-resource setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/oodh\/oqae044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]],"date-time":"2024-10-25T12:40:26Z","timestamp":1729860026000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Feasibility
