Implementers can apply the DUAL model to current and future projects to optimize the impact of digital and data interventions. Implementers work closely with different government ministries and departments, as well as other global partners, to ensure digital and data interventions can be implemented, scaled, and sustained.

Policymakers can champion the DUAL model and develop policies and guidance in accordance with its recommendations. Policymakers develop standards and policies for digital health. They review and synthesize the current evidence base for digital and data interventions to enact new guidance on the use and scale-up of digital health solutions for countries’ health systems. The DUAL model helps policymakers establish governance bodies, guidance, and technology standards in support of countries’ national digital health strategies.

India recorded more than 1.7 million new cases of HIV in the last 10 years between 2011 and 2021. To attain India's commitment to achieve the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 95-95-95 targets by 2030 and end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030 in line with Sustainable Development Goals, India needs to strengthen the prevention-testing-treatment-care continuum.Leveraging the experience of STAR phases 1 and 2, PATH has been implementing the STAR Phase 3 project in India. The implementation study was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of HIVST across specific populations. The study was conducted in 14 high HIV prevalence states of India through five service delivery models. A detailed analysis plan was developed to examine and review the findings from the study. As the study concluded in June 2022, the process of data analysis was conducted to understand the information collected from the study participants.PATH has developed high-quality, reliable, and ready-reference knowledge products like the summary report and a compendium of success stories on various interventions, lessons learnt and key takeaways of the HIV Self Testing project in India.
