Tiko Platform Behavioural cum mHealth Intervention
Tiko platform is a mix of social franchising and social marketing concepts to promote health behaviours through rewards to health promoters (pro agents), healthcare providers (doctors and pharmacies), Beneficiaries (women needing FP and/or ANC services), and shop keepers and life-style service providers where beneficiaries, providers and promoters could use their rewards points. The health promoters could purchase from wholesale retailers products such as sanitary napkins, condoms and then resale these at profit. Beneficiaries were given discounts and their rewards points can be used as cash to avail certain lifestyle services at participating locations, and so did the health care providers. Pro agents also got incentives for recruiting the beneficiaries and after beneficiaries reached certain service access/use milestones. All this was integrated on a mHealth platform using smart phones and smart cards (for those without access to Tiko card).
