7. Getting Started – What aspects to consider?
1
Problem driven, instead of
technology driven
8. Getting Started – What aspects to consider?

• Who is your end user? (the one
who will use the system)
• How will they use the system?
• What would be the learning curve
for them?
• What device do they have?

Cost for starting and ongoing
Example: server, hardware, SMS, call,
staff, support and maintenance, etc.

Contact point when
your system is down
(local vs international)
Ex: 1hr or 1 week to
get it fixed or up and
running again.
13. Start with field testing and start small

17. Example of project applied mobile technology
Weekly infectious
disease reporting
– Health centers
Health center is the
grassroots health
clinic of MoH. Real
time infectious
disease detection
and response is
very crucial to
connect from health
center.
18. Example: improve the stock management of malaria treatment
drugs
Inventory Alert
Tool for Malaria
Stock – National
Center for Malaria
Control & CHAI
A bi-weekly update
on their stock levels
through SMS is a
window into the
current stock
situations
throughout the
health centers.
