Oliver designed a Mobile Health Screening Unit (MHSU) — in his words, “a mobile health screening cart with digital records will bring affordable preventive checkups and follow-up care directly to rural residents, reducing missed visits and improving early detection of chronic diseases.” His study asks whether screening through the unit raises residents’ hypertension risk literacy, measured before and after.

“Residents who receive screening through the Mobile Health Screening Unit will demonstrate a statistically significant higher mean accuracy in hypertension risk-level awareness, compared to residents not receiving the MHSU screening.”

What he’s built

• A complete field protocol: blood-pressure, pulse-oximetry, and thermometry screening procedures, with referral thresholds and an emergency exclusion above 180/120
• A 0–5 Composite Knowledge Score, survey form, and nurse log for a target of 100 adults
• A bilingual “Health Result Card” residents take home, and an English/Tagalog pamphlet — “Is Your Heart ‘Lubao-Strong’?”
• A staffing plan built around one licensed nurse/coordinator, with the unit sited at the Sta. Rita covered-court community center

The protocol is complete, with a working budget of about $8,550, and the project is in its fundraising phase.
