Effectiveness and Implementation of the DINKNESH Digital Palliative Care Tool in Ethiopia

2026年9月9日 更新者：Meheret Y. Amare、Addis Ababa University

Effectiveness and Implementation Determinants of the DINKNESH App Compared to Paper-Based Assessment Tools for Palliative Care: A Mixed-Methods Cluster Randomized Trial in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a digital health app called DINKNESH is effective for palliative care identification compared to traditional paper-based assessment tools. It will also look at the factors that help or hinder the use of this app in primary care settings.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the DINKNESH app improve palliative care assessments compared to paper forms?

What are the main barriers and facilitators for Health Extension Workers when using the app in their daily work?

We will compare the DINKNESH app to standard paper-based tools to see if digital tools improve clinical assessment and implementation.

Participants will:

Be assessed for palliative care needs using either the DINKNESH mobile app or standard paper forms.

Receive routine follow-up care as determined by their health provider.

(For health workers): Participate in interviews or surveys to discuss their experience using the assigned assessment tool.

武器和干预

参与者组/臂
干预/治疗
实验性的：DINKNESH App
Healthcare workers (Family Health Teams) in these clusters will utilize the DINKNESH mobile application during routine home-based visits to systematically identify and assess patients requiring palliative care. The app integrates validated tools (SPICT, ECOG, IPOS) and provides clinical decision support for symptom management, counseling, and referral protocols
其他：DINKNESH App
A mobile-based digital health application designed to support Family Health Teams in the systematic identification and assessment of patients with palliative care needs. The application digitizes validated clinical tools, including the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS) along with reference materials
有源比较器：Paper based Tool
Family Health Teams in these clusters will provide home-based chronic care services following standard paper based without the use of the digital application.
其他：Paper based tool
A paper-based clinical assessment protocol designed to support Family Health Teams in the systematic identification and assessment of patients with palliative care needs. It incorporates the same validated clinical tools used in the intervention arm, including the Supportive and Palliative Care Indicators Tool (SPICT), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS), administered manually during routine home visits without the use of a digital application and reference material.
