One Size Doesn't Fit All: How data can support tailored approaches in public health
summary
Nexleaf deploys Bluetooth temperature sensors and a StoveTrace dashboard to log cooking events and compare self-reports with objective use; a Nigeria pilot of 50 households tests five stove types (two improved biomass, three clean-fuel), finds universal stove stacking, adoption measured by a 60-day rolling mean, and shows LPG use rises after a fuel subsidy but overall emissions sometimes stay high. The team builds stove scorecards, follows a stairway-to-scale (10 → 100 → 1,000 → 10,000) and shows distribution alone does not guarantee displacement or emission reductions.
