MarBar Africa dashboard is geared towards three types of sub-systems. It will provide a patient facing engagement tool where patient can also share therapeutic alliance, quality of care, symptom reduction feedback. The findings from tools can be relayed back to the patient which we believe will improve education and understanding of one’s condition. The second sub-system will be process-outcome monitoring that will take intake, session-by- session progress tracking through therapist data and patient feedback and an interactive tool for therapist to learn from their own practice and patient profile and treatment trajectory so far. The third system is for building collaboration between team members to support patient care and treatment decisions as a team. It also helps with collaborative care by allowing consultations and check in on interrelated aspects of patient care.
