The mHealth Planning Guide helps individuals and organizations appropriately plan for mHealth deployments. This 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, and helps build a strong foundation for your mHealth activity, laying out the many facets of program planning that the mHealth pioneers wish they had known when they were starting out.
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.
For more information, check out two brief use-case studies we have developed to share the stories of mHealth practitioners in Nepal and India who have used the Guide in their work.
