- Contribute to putting m-health on the map of the mainstream public health agenda in developing countries.
- Explore options as to how to translate mHealth applications into measurable health outcomes.
- Provide concrete examples of experience at the country level – what questions to ask, what to look for, what tools are available, and what are the policy implications for implementation.
- Establish a basis for future collaboration and continued dialogue on mHealth.
This unique one-day workshop will bring together lessons, innovations, and perspectives from over 30 practitioners and policy makers from key organization in the m-Health field. The workshop will discuss specific case studies and country perspectives on mHealth and address scaling up mobile innovations in World Bank Health Sector Projects.
