The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a digital health app called DINKNESH is effective for palliative care identification compared to traditional paper-based assessment tools. It will also look at the factors that help or hinder the use of this app in primary care settings. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the DINKNESH app improve palliative care assessments compared to paper forms? What are the main barriers and facilitators for Health Extension Workers when using the app in their daily work? We will compare the DINKNESH app to standard paper-based tools to see if digital tools improve clinical assessment and implementation. Participants will: Be assessed for palliative care needs using either the DINKNESH mobile app or standard paper forms. Receive routine follow-up care as determined by their health provider. (For health workers): Participate in interviews or surveys to discuss their experience using the assigned assessment tool.
