mHealth Support Tools for Improving the Performance of Frontline Health Workers: An Inventory and Analytical Review

mHealth Alliance Publication. The UN Commission on Life-saving Commodities for Women and Children (UNCoLSC) is interested in exploring how mHealth can support the achievement of Recommendation 9, namely improving the performance and accountability of Frontline Health Workers (FLHWs). In this report, the mHealth Alliance outlines the findings from a three-pronged approach, including: 1) establishing a database of existing mHealth tools related to FLHW performance and accountability; 2) conducting a literature review on the evidence base of using mHealth tools for these purposes; and 3) developing a framework to guide the adaptation of paper-based content into mobile-friendly content.
