Five must-read mobile health reports

By: Brian Dolan | Apr 13, 2010

mHealth for Development: The Opportunity of Mobile Technology for Healthcare in the Developing World, published by the United Nations Foundation (2009)

UNF’s description: “This report examines issues at the heart of the rapidly evolving intersection of mobile phones and healthcare. It helps the reader to understand mHealth’s scope and implementation across developing regions, the health needs to which mHealth can be applied, and the mHealth applications that promise the greatest impact on heath care initiatives.” Free Download

Why we recommend it: While MHN largely has a North American focus in our news coverage, so many of the mHealth innovations and business models are coming out of so-called developing markets. The U.N. Foundation and the mHealth Alliance published this fantastic report last year and it includes more than 50 profiles of mHealth projects and pilots underway in other markets. That’s right: Fifty!

Thanks for this compilation of resources. One correction may be needed to your citation of the IFTF report… you note January 2010, however, the report appears to have been published in May 2009 (on report cover page).

Jen,

I think you are right. Check out these two links: http://www.iftf.org/node/2810 (May 2009) and http://www.iftf.org/mobilehealth (January 2010).

Odd. As you noted, it’s clearly dated May 2009 on the front cover though so it doesn’t seem to be a new update or anything.
