"With this technology, I can immediately record and provide information to residents without having to write manually. Faster and more effective," said one of the cadres from Serang Regency in a statement, Thursday, May 15.
Program yang berlangsung sejak 2023 ini diketahui melibatkan 926 kader kesehatan di daerah Serang dan Tangerang. Mereka dilatih menggunakan aplikasi reach52.

According to Dr. Sheena Ramazanu from HKMU said the success of this program is in line with the Health Believer Model approach, which has proven to be able to increase public awareness and preventive actions.
This program shows that international collaboration and the use of simple technology can be a real solution for equitable access to health in 3T areas.
The head of the LPPM Serang Raya University, Dr. Ing. Farid Wajdi, stated that this program is a clear example of how research results and cross-border collaboration can be implemented directly to answer real public issues.
We believe that research should not stop in journals. This intervention proves that technology, when accompanied by community approximation, is able to encourage behavioral changes and a health care system from the grassroots level," Farid said.
