Seeking Input From CHWs, Doulas, Home Visitors, and Other Care Navigators to Co-Design a Digital Care Navigation Tool

The Bursky School of Public Health at WashU in partnership with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is seeking care navigators to participate in a 60-minute virtual meeting to co-design and test a digital tool that provides searchable, real-time information about clinical and non-clinical services around the state.

Participants receive a $50 stipend for the 60-minute meeting and an additional $200 to test the beta version of the app over four weeks, if desired.

When:

  1. Early June: Design sessions (virtual meetings) to develop a wish list of functionalities.
  2. Mid- to late-summer: Beta testing of the digital tool (if desired).

Who can participate

  • Community health workers
  • Doulas
  • Home visitors, and
  • Other care navigators assisting clients in Missouri

What participants will do:

The goal of the sessions is to answer questions such as:

  • Is the concept a good idea?
  • What gap does it fill?
  • What healthcare resources and social services should be included in the app?
  • What other functionality would you like to see included?
