Our findings highlight the potential of technology-based screening via Lifesten Health in offering greater efficiency with minimal equipment and training requirements, while also addressing the challenges of digital illiteracy and material shortages in conventional methods. Investing in digital literacy and enhancing healthcare provider training are key to reducing the burden of CVDs in Rwanda.
