Abstract

Mhealth is an emerging health intervention that is contributing to improving outcomes for HIV clients in resource limited settings. Text messages and voice calls have been used to prompt medication adherence. However, no clear strategies for integrating mHealth in diverse populations exist, we propose a transnational approach to mHealth integration.

A transactional approach to mHealth integration for antiretroviral therapy adherence in resource limited settings

Washington, DC, USA

Mhealth is an emerging health intervention that is contributing to improving outcomes for HIV clients in resource limited settings. Text messages and voice calls have been used to prompt medication adherence. However, no clear strategies for integrating mHealth in diverse populations exist, we propose a transnational approach to mHealth integration.
