Through a review of the peer-reviewed and gray literature on HIV mobile health (mHealth) tools for health workers and in-depth interviews with mHealth leaders in the field, we provide a synthesis of current work and propose mHealth research priorities for HIV prevention, care, and treatment.
Significant investment in implementation research and bringing together researchers capable of identifying drivers of successful implementation and industry leaders capable of bringing efficacious tools to scale are needed to move this area forward. Effective and appropriate technologies to support health systems in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS in low- and middle-income countries are needed to improve the efficiency and quality of health service delivery and ultimately improve health outcomes. Although a growing number of HIV mHealth tools have been developed to support health workers, few of these tools have been rigorously evaluated and even fewer have been brought to scale.
通过对同行评议和灰色文献中有关艾滋病毒移动医疗(mHealth)工具在卫生工作者中的应用的研究,以及对该领域的 mHealth 领导者进行深入访谈,我们对当前的工作进行了综合分析,并为艾滋病毒预防、护理和治疗提出了 mHealth 研究重点。
需要对实施研究进行重大投资,并将能够确定成功实施驱动因素的研究人员和能够将有效工具推广到大规模的行业领导者聚集在一起,以推动这一领域的发展。需要有效的和适当的技术来支持中低收入国家的卫生系统预防和治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病,以提高卫生服务提供的效率和质量,并最终改善健康结果。尽管已经开发出越来越多的支持卫生工作者的 HIV mHealth 工具,但这些工具中很少有经过严格评估,更少的工具得到了推广。
