FieldHealth AI: Less Time Typing. More Time Caring.

FieldHealth AI is a tool that enables field workers to collect essential observations during household visits, even in situations with unreliable internet connectivity. This Progressive Web App (PWA) allows workers to speak or type notes, which the AI Assistant then processes to fill in relevant details such as household codes, member counts, individuals present, water sources, and required follow-ups.

The AI Assistant facilitates this process by interpreting natural field speech and generating a structured form proposal, while still allowing the worker to review and revise the information before final confirmation. The application features offline functionality, requiring no connection to save data, with pending records syncing automatically once connectivity is restored.

Furthermore, it offers CSV/JSON export and includes features like a dashboard, duplicate protection, and follow-up tracking. FieldHealth AI is an administrative reporting tool and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment suggestions. The project is open-source, enabling greater transparency and adaptability for various field health applications.
