Through research, determine who, what, where, and how of your project. This will consist of an e-mail to the instructor where you will define:
Who: Define the target population for your effort. Consider factors such as age, gender,
ethnicity, location and health issues including disabilities.
For this project my targeted group of patients will be the diabetic patients in Africa. I will be educating parents and kids about this disease but my focus will be on the older population (from 40 years and above) of men and women from African, most especially those that are not educated and live on the farm (the interior part) that does not have access to better treatment.
What: Define your goal using SMART goal format.
I will be focusing on teaching my population about what is diabetes and its prevention, management and treatment. I will use telehealth to educate them on causes, prevention and treatment; I will teach them the normal level of a blood sugar, showing them the different kinds of devices to use to know your sugar level and teaching them how to use them to monitor their sugar levels and the importance of keeping it normal.
Where: Decide where your population will be for this effort.
My population will be Liberia especially the rural area
How: Decide what technologies you will use to deliver your information.
I will use mobile phones and computer to deliver my information.
