Book Description
Reviews have shown that mobile phone-based health interventions (mHealth interventions) are capable of improving health outcomes of patients in Africa, particularly for patients with chronic diseases such as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). But currently, most mHealth interventions are stopped after the pilot and the funding of the donors has ceased. The aim is to identify the reasons for the lacking integration of mHealth interventions against NCDs in sub Saharan African health systems. 10 countries from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were selected for the analysis. For the assessment a catalogue of indicators was developed. Data for the indicators was gathered from various sources: databases, literature reviews and expert interviews. mHealth against NCDs is still in its infancy. Inhibiting factors for the further uptake of mHealth are the lack of specific action points by the governments, the missing attention paid to the rising burden of NCDs, the non-utilization of the full potential of mHealth, the lack of financial incentives and standardized workshops/guidelines and lack of good governance. The access to mobile phones is also inhibited by the poor electricity infrastructure. Enabling factors in many countries are numerous published eHealth strategies, constantly improving legislative frameworks (such as data protection laws) and a growing technology start-up ecosystem.Reviews haben gezeigt, dass Mobiltelefon-basierte Gesundheitsinterventionen (mHealth Interventionen) in der Lage sind klinische Outcomes von Patienten in Afrika zu verbessern; insbesondere von Patienten mit chronischen Erkrankungen wie zum Beispiel nicht übertragbaren Krankheiten (NCDs). Jedoch bleiben die meisten mHealth Interventionen in der Projektphase und werden häufig, nachdem die Finanzierung der Geldgeber aufhört, gestoppt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es deswegen, die Ursachen für die mangelnde Integration von mHealth Interventionen gegen NCDs in die afrikanischen Gesundheitssysteme zu identifizieren. Für die Analyse wurden 10 Länder aus sub-Sahara Afrika (SSA) ausgewählt. Für die Bewertung wurde ein Katalog von Indikatoren entwickelt. Die Daten für die Indikatoren wurden aus verschiedenen Quellen gesammelt: Datenbanken, Literaturrecherchen und Experteninterviews. Hemmende Faktoren für eine flächendeckende Verbreitung sind unter anderem das Fehlen spezifischer Zielvorgaben durch die Regierungen, die fehlende Berücksichtigung von NCDs in den verschiedenen Digitalstrategien, die Nichtausschöpfung des vollen Potenzials von mHealth, das Fehlen von finanziellen Anreizen und standardisierten Workshops/Richtlinien, sowie mangelnde Good Governance. Außerdem wird der Zugang zu Mobiltelefonen durch die schlechte Elektrizitäts-Infrastruktur behindert. Fördernde Faktoren sind die zahlreichen eHealth-Strategien, die sich ständig verbessernden gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen (z.B. Datenschutzgesetze) und die wachsenden Start-up-Ökosysteme.

Mobile Computing and Wireless Communications
Author: Amjad Umar
Publisher: nge solutions, inc
ISBN: 9780975918203
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 716
Book Description
This book, suitable for IS/IT courses and self study, presents a comprehensive coverage of the technical as well as business/management aspects of mobile computing and wireless communications. Instead of one narrow topic, this classroom tested book covers the major building blocks (mobile applications, mobile computing platforms, wireless networks, architectures, security, and management) of mobile computing and wireless communications. Numerous real-life case studies and examples highlight the key points. The book starts with a discussion of m-business and m-government initiatives and examines mobile computing applications such as mobile messaging, m-commerce, M-CRM, M-portals, M-SCM, mobile agents, and sensor applications. The role of wireless Internet and Mobile IP is explained and the mobile computing platforms are analyzed with a discussion of wireless middleware, wireless gateways, mobile application servers, WAP, i-mode, J2ME, BREW, Mobile Internet Toolkit, and Mobile Web Services. The wireless networks are discussed at length with a review of wireless communication principles, wireless LANs with emphasis on 802.11 LANs, Bluetooth, wireless sensor networks, UWB (Ultra Wideband), cellular networks ranging from 1G to 5G, wireless local loops, FSO (Free Space Optics), satellites communications, and deep space networks. The book concludes with a review of the architectural, security, and management/support issues and their role in building, deploying and managing wireless systems in modern settings.
