MiracleFeet is a nonprofit bringing treatment for clubfoot to children across low- and middle-income countries.
On CommCare, MiracleFeet enrolls, treats, and follows up with children born with clubfoot on CAST, an app built on the platform, across more than 500 clinics in 38 countries.
Treating clubfoot takes years of follow-up
Clubfoot affects 1 in every 800 babies, and treatment spans years of visits, bracing, and follow-up. MiracleFeet needed a platform that could keep every child on track. They chose CommCare because:
- It keeps working offline. Clinics track treatment even where internet is never guaranteed.
- It puts data in providers’ hands. Partners in-country see patient-level data, not just program managers at headquarters.
- It makes clinicians’ jobs easier. CAST works like a medical record and patient management system, tracking dropouts and missed appointments.
- It feeds central monitoring in real time. Field data flows straight into their central Salesforce system, no manual entry.
- It helped earn GiveWell’s backing. Years of CommCare-powered evidence gave MiracleFeet the data it needed to win a GiveWell grant pursued for 13 years.
of manual staff time saved every year. Automating the CommCare-to-Salesforce pipeline scaled the network from 180 to more than 500 clinics, with 250,000+ patient visits tracked annually and real-time visibility into treatment quality.
