Declarations
:
: Permission to execute this study was granted by Directorate of the Department of Health Kisumu, July 19, 2018. This paper describes an operational project that was rolled out in Kisumu, Kenya in full coordination with the local Department of Health. The project was not positioned as a research study and therefore no formal ethical clearance was required to apply for. Rather, this work was performed as an implementation project to improve efficiency of malaria service delivery through innovative digital approaches. As such, this project was approved by the County Chief Office of Health. The participants of this program were verbally informed about the program by their clinician. When choosing to participate in this program, they subscribed to the M-TIBA digital mobile health platform, which asks clients a question of consent when first registering. For the interviews, verbal and written consent was obtained from the respondents. Confidentiality of research subjects and personnel records was ensured by anonymizing data collection. No individual participant data is disclosed within this manuscript in any form.
