The telemedicine kit for the community health project in settlements in Iquitos, Peru, has been delivered.

Currently, there are four Promoters and 16 ACS (Associated Workers' Compensation) who have been trained to inform and share knowledge with their neighbors, as well as serve as liaisons with the relevant health institutions. The initiative has a dual function:

• On the one hand, it seeks effective health promotion and prevention.
• On the other hand, it is intended to demonstrate that, through the ACS figure, the incidence of prevalent diseases in the area can be effectively reduced.

To address this second objective, a telemedicine kit has been designed with the necessary measuring devices, which will allow for a situational diagnosis of the population, facilitating data collection by Community Health Promoters and Agents.

This kit contains the necessary tools to measure a series of parameters (oxygen saturation, pulse, blood pressure, glucose, hematocrit and hemoglobin, and Zika), and health promoters will make home visits to perform the relevant tests on beneficiaries.

Once the results are obtained, they will be stored and updated periodically, so that the influence of the ACS's activity on the health of these communities can be observed and measured.

The community health project is managed by Juan Ciudad NGO and funded by the San Juan de Dios Foundation of the Province of Castilla, the Hospitaller Order of the Holy Family, and the Regional Government of Castilla y León.
