• Mobile Health in Africa: What Can We Learn?

  by Douglas Naegele, Jaspal Sandhu, Josh Nesbit and Patricia Mechael

  We will focus on examples of how mobile devices are bringing healthcare to underserved communities in rural Africa. How can we diagnose pneumonia with a $5 machine hooked up to a cell phone? How does a glowing pill bottle and a cellphone connection ensure that 85% of people take their HIV drugs in South Africa? And, what can the US learn about these experiments vis-a-vis privacy, rural access, and cost containment.
