Getting Started – What aspects to consider?
Cost for starting and ongoing!!Example: server, hardware, SMS, call, staff, support and maintenance, etc. !

Getting Started – What aspects to consider?
Contact point when your system is down (local vs international)!!Ex: 1hr or 1 week to get it fixed or up and running again.!
5
Start with field testing and start small
Validate design assumption!!Get end user feedback!
Example: MObile Technology for Improved Family planning
phone-based intervention to support post-
abortion contraception for

Cambodia. !
Maries Stopes International
Cambodia - MOTIF!
Example: mobile technology in labor rights
Toll-free IVR line that helps factory

Example: SMS reporting system for malaria cases
Strengthening Malaria Surveillance
in Cambodia. Reporting malaria
cases from the community!
Malaria Consortium – Malaria
Surveillance and Alert!
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.!
Example: improve the stock management of malaria treatment drugs
A bi-weekly update on their stock levels
through SMS is a window into the
current stock situations
throughout the health centers.!
Inventory Alert Tool for Malaria Stock – National Center for
Malaria Control & CHAI!
