This learning brief outlines the impacts of a mobile application for Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) that was developed by CRS’ Reducing Maternal and Newborn Deaths (ReMiND) project. The introduction of the app to the ASHA cadre at the community level in select districts in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, has demonstrated how improved interpersonal communication and supportive supervision can strengthen community health systems and lead to improved coverage of key health services.
