In Lesotho, a study used electronic consent (eConsent) to improve data collection for a project involving community health workers (CHWs) who help manage type 2 diabetes and hypertension in remote villages. Over 100 CHWs, both caregivers and data collectors, used a tablet-based system to present simplified consent information and collect signatures electronically. This streamlined the consent process and allowed for better monitoring, making it easier to manage a large-scale health program with over 16,000 participants.
