Health Information as Health Care: The Role of Technology in Unlocking Data and Wellness

The mHealth Alliance has released a report Health Information as Health Care: The Role of Technology in Unlocking Data and Wellness that explores the use of mobile devices in the collection and transfer of critical health data at the local, national and international levels.

The paper is structured around three core healthcare domains: surveillance systems, supply chain, and human resources. Experts in these domains identify critical gaps in health information flows and offer recommendations on how technology-based solutions can be applied.

To spur a global dialogue on this important topic, the publication is posted in mHealth’s knowledge- and idea-sharing platform, HealthUnBound (HUB) . We hope you will contribute your thoughts to this ongoing discussion.

A global development enthusiast originally from Ethiopia particularly focusing on innovation; social and technological toward paving the way of the future for positive global sustainable development. With a background in life sciences, African studies and global health, I have worked in the National Institutes of Health doing project administration and on mobile health initiatives across the globe through the Health Unbound project with the mHealth Alliance. My interest in Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) is in the fact that technology rests between silos as an enabler, informer, efficiency builder and connector. As a writer for Inveneo, a social enterprise that focuses on technology, I will bring you information about social and technological innovations.
