Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile health (mHealth) platforms offer a promising solution to some of the more important problems facing the current healthcare system. This paper examines some of the key challenges facing mHealth with a focus on how mobile Health Information System could be used to improve HIV and wellness testing. We considered the potential and current uses of mobile phones and tablets for HIV and Wellness testing. Mobile Health can bring health prevention and promotion to the general population. One of a South African healthcare organisation that deals with HIV/AIDS and other chronic diseases was used. Data was collected and analysed using the Innovation-Decision Process conceptual model. |
