Be He@lthy, Be Mobile supports countries and governments by providing technical expertise to integrate mobile health interventions in their national health systems and sustainably scale at the national level.
Central tools in this are the
mHealth handbooks, which consolidate all relevant information and background necessary:
–
how to set up and run programmes,
–
how to deliver a desired health impact at scale, and
–
how to integrate mHealth with non-digital health services –
presenting it in the form of
plug-and-play, ready-to-use options for partners.
The following global mHealth handbooks are available:
Process – Each handbook is developed collaboratively by WHO and ITU with contributions from informal expert groups with expertise in the relevant disease or intervention area, and based on the best available evidence from literature, experience, and expert research. Be He@lthy, Be Mobile handbooks use a human-centered design approach, ensuring that user needs and context guide development.
Content and Structure – A typical handbook includes programme design support, SMS content libraries, case studies, and tools for scaling mHealth services. Areas covered include: (i) Operations management, (ii) Content development and adaptation, (iii) Promotion and user recruitment, (iv) Technology specifications, (v) Monitoring and evaluation.
Audience – Handbooks are for national programme implementers aiming to scale mHealth, as well as partners seeking insight into effective digital health deployment strategies.
