Adapted from the printed job-aid, the multi-language KidzAlive Talk Tool app transforms paediatric HIV care through purposeful innovation and creative storytelling!

As the 2024 Global Mobile Award winner: Tech4Good Best Mobile Innovation for Enhancing the Lives of Children and Young People, the KidzAlive Talk Tool app emerges as a groundbreaking innovation, leveraging digital technologies to enhance quality of care for children affected by HIV.

What sets the app apart is its holistic approach, actively involving three key beneficiaries: the child, the primary caregiver, and the healthcare worker.

This comprehensive digital solution addresses the distinctive needs of children living with HIV by empowering healthcare workers with the skills and confidence needed for effective counselling, HIV literacy, and disclosure support.

The app utilises innovative educational techniques through gamification and creative storytelling to engage children. It creates a multilingual learning environment, offering crucial information about HIV. By actively involving children and caregivers in their healthcare, the app bridges existing gaps and empowers them to navigate the challenges associated with HIV.
