USE CASE

Public Health Campaigns

Support immunization drives, mass drug administration, LLIN distribution, and disease surveillance.

  Immunization Drives
Mass Drug Admin
Disease Surveillance

The Challenge

Campaigns reach large populations across many channels, with little visibility into who took part.

Mobilizing temporary teams fast

Thousands of short-term workers must be onboarded in days.

Avoiding double counting

The same household can be reached twice without a check.

Paying frontline workers

Manual payouts tied to verified activity are slow and error-prone.
