The explosion in the number of applications (apps) designed for the medical and wellness sectors has been noted by many. Recently we have seen increased presence of truly medical apps, in addition to consumer health and wellbeing apps, designed for clinical professionals and patients with medical conditions. Consumer based mHealth apps typically allow people to do old things in new ways, such as recording health measures digitally rather than on paper. We see this also with medical apps, where increases in the quality and efficiency of existing health care models provide clinical staff with digital tools that replace paper based documentation. In rare and exciting cases we are also seeing mHealth applications that are doing things in entirely new ways to drive real innovation in health care delivery through mobile devices. The aim of the tutorial is to highlight real world, high impact mobile research that is relevant to the key discipline of Mobile HCI. Thus, the tutorial will be application rather than academically focused. The tutorial will highlight the wide range of mHealth applications available that go far beyond trackers and behavior change tools and encourage researchers to look beyond consumer applications in their research. Four key areas of mHealth applications will be covered including Apps for the HealthyWell, mHealth in Hospitals, Practice and Clinical Apps and Patient Apps and will cover applications for health assessment, treatment and triage, behavior change, chronic illness, mental health, adolescent health, rehabilitation and age care with a focus on the need for rigorous evaluation and efficacy analysis.

MEASURE Evaluation

This document provides guidelines for monitoring and evaluating HIV programs for sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender people at the national, sub-national, and service delivery levels. It outlines an 8-step public health model approach involving understanding the epidemic, determinants of transmission, developing combination prevention programs, and evaluating impact. Key concepts covered include causal pathways, indicators, and emphasizing quality and involvement of key populations. The guidelines are meant to be adapted to local contexts.

Beyond Indicators and Reporting: M&E as a Systems Strengthening Intervention

MEASURE Evaluation

This document discusses monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems and their importance in strengthening health systems. It notes that while demand for M&E is increasing, many country systems remain weak. Progress has been made in harmonizing indicators and developing tools and guidelines. Case studies from Jamaica and Cote d'Ivoire show how focused efforts to strengthen M&E systems can improve data quality and use over time. Building strong M&E requires addressing technical, organizational and behavioral factors and is a long-term intervention that needs sustained investment.

Apollo Hospitals Group and ATNF

This document summarizes a study that used the Most Significant Change technique to measure strengthening of Nigeria's national M&E system from 2007-2012. Key stakeholders identified several most significant changes, including the harmonization of indicators to improve reporting, improved data quality through training, states now analyzing and using data, and the evolution of paper-based information systems to an integrated electronic system. These most significant changes were then verified through interviews and workshops to understand how the M&E system in Nigeria was strengthened over that period.

Enhancing FP/RH Decision Making through GIS Data Linking

MEASURE Evaluation

This document discusses using geographic information systems (GIS) to link multi-sectoral data in order to enhance decision making for family planning and reproductive health programs in Rwanda. It provides an overview of a case study conducted in Rwanda that explored linking key data sources such as demographic health surveys, commodity distribution data, and poverty and agriculture data using common geographic identifiers. The case study found that free and open source GIS software like Excel to Google Earth, Quantum GIS, and OpenGeoDa could effectively link and visualize the data. Lessons learned included the importance of stakeholder engagement to access sensitive data, using accurate population data when normalizing indicators, and how GIS data linking can provide insights and incentives to improve health programs.

mHealth regulations - Global efforts and readiness _White paper_DELL

Sandesh Prabhu

The document discusses regulations for mobile health (mHealth) applications around the world. It notes that while some regions like the EU and Australia have issued guidelines, they lack clarity and do not fully address diverse mHealth apps. The US FDA has provided the most descriptive guidelines to date, but many questions remain. An international group is working to establish global standards. Advocacy groups are pushing for regulations that balance safety and innovation without stifling the growing mHealth industry. As regulations become clearer, demand and innovation in mHealth are expected to increase substantially.

It offers high quality, low-cost health services by making the world faster and cheaper through mobile technologies. mHealth apps are growing in popularity worldwide with over 231 million downloads and increasing consumer demand, especially among males, smartphone owners, and caregivers.

Perceptions of mHealth Applications among Parents in a Large Pediatric Health...

Adeiyewunmi Osinubi

This study examined parents' attitudes towards mobile health apps for their children's healthcare. The researchers surveyed 176 parents across various healthcare settings. They found that most parents used their smartphones to look up health information, and about a third had downloaded mobile health apps. However, the majority of parents were concerned about privacy and security of their children's health information on apps. While lower-income parents were more worried about app costs, race alone did not predict cost concerns after accounting for income. The results suggest financial assistance may be needed for low-income families to use mobile health apps, and privacy protections are important for all users.

Mobile Health for Reducing Disparities: Does it Work and How Will we Know?

Ida Sim

This document discusses the potential for mobile health (mHealth) technologies to help reduce health disparities. It notes that while cell phone ownership is now very high among all groups, questions remain about whether mHealth can effectively promote behavior change and improve health outcomes. The digital divide still exists in how technology is used, as language barriers and health literacy can influence mHealth adoption. More data is needed on sustained mHealth usage and how online health information actually affects users' health decisions and approaches.

Scaling Self-Experimentation

Ida Sim

This document discusses scaling self-experimentation through an open architecture for mobile health. It proposes creating common modules to define variables, study protocols, and measures that would make self-experimentation results comparable and able to be aggregated. This would allow individuals' experiments (n=1) to scale up to a larger evidence base through reuse, integration and standardization across different studies and contexts. The goal is to get further together faster in understanding individual health and developing data-driven feedback loops.

Evidence Farming and Open Architecture

Ida Sim

This document discusses evidence farming as a new approach to evaluating mobile health (mHealth) applications. It outlines limitations of current evaluation methods like randomized controlled trials and data mining of electronic health records. It proposes an "evidence macrosystem" using open architectures to support evidence extraction through approaches like rooting for evidence, industrial evidence farming, personal evidence gardening, and crowdsourcing what matters to patients. The goal is a learning community that enables broad, rapid dissemination of evaluation methods and findings through shared modules and libraries within mHealth applications.

The Uneven Future of Evidence-Based Medicine

Ida Sim

An Apple ResearchKit study enrolled 22,000 people in five days. A study claims that Twitter can be used to identify depressed patients. A computer program crunches genomic data, the published literature, and electronic health record data to guide cancer treatment. The pace, the data sources, and the methods for generating medical evidence are changing radically. What will — what should — evidence-based medicine look like in a faster, personalized, data-dense tomorrow? - Presented as the 3rd Annual Cochrane Lecture, October 2015 in Vienna, Austria.

Pwc emerging-mhealth-full

3GDR

Mobile health (mHealth) holds great promise to address issues in healthcare provision by leveraging ubiquitous mobile technologies. However, experts caution that widespread adoption of mHealth will be challenging and take time due to entrenched interests in existing systems and the need for disruptive changes. While patients, doctors and payers see benefits and inevitability of mHealth, most in the industry expect a period of hype, disillusionment, and slow progress as behaviors change and viable business models emerge. Further, adoption faces greater barriers in developed countries' complex systems compared to emerging markets with fewer obstacles but high demand for improved access to care.

The 2023 Digital Health Barometer_compressed.pdf

Data interoperability requires the adoption and implementation of common and (ideally) open standards. Lack of interoperability limits the re-use of data between healthcare organisations within a country and across borders. The rise of cloud platforms and mobile technology further complicates the data environment. “Data gets captured and it is quite complex and hard to share,” says David Hansen, CEO of the Australian e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO. “When shared, it is often not computable. Human intervention is needed to do analytics and this is really expensive.” All countries except Spain achieve the highest score on this indicator, demonstrating that digital health and health information industrybased technical standards for data exchange, transmission, messaging, security, privacy and hardware are in use in the majority of applications and systems to ensure the availability of highquality data. Digital health literacy and internet connectivity are ‘super’ social determinants of health, as they have the power to affect the wider social determinants of health.17 Although the use of digital tools – such as apps, patient portals, and monitoring devices – provides better support beyond clinical settings, greater reliance on them can increase the disparity between people with digital access and skills and those without, and (by extension) health disparities.18 “One of the major concerns globally in digital health has been tech equity,” says Majmudar. “The digital divide could worsen. You need access to the internet, tools and resources. Every country should focus on connectivity, including the US. Can people afford the data plans they need to access telemedicine and remote care? Do we have connectivity in every area, urban or rural?”
