Digital Town Square: A Community-Centric Approach to Health Information Management

The Digital Town Square (DTS) serves as a platform for large-scale, community-based health promotion initiatives aimed at addressing chronic diseases by tackling social determinants of health. This model fosters collaboration across various sectors, providing sustainable strategies through active community participation. By digitizing health interventions and creating a hub for data sharing, the DTS enables the effective integration of health services, urban planning, and evidence-based resources. It aims to improve local relevance and accessibility, facilitating better-informed health decisions and outcomes.
