Getting remote health advice via mobile phone can improve the health outcomes of people that don’t have access to healthcare resources. One example is in “Mobile phones bring health to the poor’, in which the Ghana project targets women with messages from a cell phone who do not typically seek information from local health facilities about pregnancy or giving birth. This project is testing this solution on about 4,000 pregnant women in Ghana.

One thought on “Giving Health Advice Remotely Through Phones.

  1. Look for current results of the program.
    Some areas only have 2G service so texts without images might load faster.
    Individual telehealth versus public information.
    One phone or display per community or school?
    Use the Starlink satellite.
    Video conferencing?
    Content would need to be locally curated; technology maintained locally.
