Pitch

Escrito por el equipo. No es una oferta de inversión ni un consejo.

Problema

La sequía impulsada por el clima está cambiando la forma en que se propagan las enfermedades transmitidas por el agua. Una lista de verificación práctica de campo puede ayudar a las comunidades a monitorear el riesgo y adaptar las respuestas de salud locales.

Lo que están construyendo

A one-page field checklist, piloted by two community health workers at three local water sources over four weeks during dry season. Checklist fields: water level, number of animals/humans present, signs of contamination, mosquito larvae presence, and recent illness cases. Operator: local health worker. Participants: capped at two workers, three sites. Unvalidated hypothesis; full brief: /blog/drought-driven-by-climate-change-is-redefining-h-2026-11-07 Source: Enlace

Para quién es

Community health workers, local leaders, and residents in drought-affected areas with shrinking water sources and a history of waterborne or vector-borne disease.

Por qué importa

Hypothesis: A simple, regular checklist enables earlier detection of increased disease risk during drought compared to no structured monitoring. Test if checklist use leads to more timely local health alerts or interventions. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 80% checklist completion rate over four weeks at three sites. Baseline: no structured monitoring. Success measured by number of completed checklists and number of risk alerts generated. Duration: 4 weeks. Metric: checklist logs and alert
