The mHealth Planning Guide: Key Considerations for Integrating Mobile Technology into Health Programs

The Guide helps individuals and organizations appropriately plan for mHealth deployments. The Guide:

  • Provides a thorough orientation to the mHealth planning process for anyone looking to learn more about integrating mobile technology into health programs in low- and middle-income countries

  • Outlines key considerations and resources for planning an mHealth intervention, from concept development and technology design to preparation for implementation.

  • Helps the user build a strong foundation for an mHealth activity, laying out the many facets of program planning that the mHealth pioneers wish they had known when they were starting out.

Working through the Guide and using the accompanying planning tools will help you build a solid plan for developing and implementing an mHealth solution.

This Guide is intended primarily for global health technical experts, program managers, and staff working to implement mHealth solutions in low-resource settings. The Guide is also useful for donors.
