Pitch

Escrito pela equipa. Não é uma oferta de investimento nem aconselhamento.

Problema

A seca impulsionada pelo clima está mudando a forma como as doenças transmitidas pela água se espalham. Uma lista de verificação prática de campo pode ajudar as comunidades a monitorar riscos e adaptar as respostas de saúde locais.

O que estão a construir

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: Ligação

Porque 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
