Summary

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the impact of a self-monitoring tool (ChARM), used as a teaching/monitoring device, on the CHWs respiratory rate counting accuracy when assessing children under the age of 5 years with suspected pneumonia symptoms.

Conditions

  • Acute Respiratory Infection

Interventions

DEVICE

Children's Automated Respiration Monitor (ChARM)

The Philips CHARM (children's automatic respiratory monitor) is specifically designed to detect pneumonia in low resource areas. The lightweight measuring device sits on a child's or infant's chest, secured by a strap and measures respiration rate (fast breathing) through an ingenious algorithm. In this study ChARM will be used as a self monitoring and teaching aide by the CHWS.
