Luis F. G. Sarmenta13-14 July 2007

Mobile Phone Applications for HealthInnovations in International Health

for Health in the DevelopingWorld

Background on me: Luis Sarmenta (Ph.D. EECS, MIT 2001) Research Scientist, MIT CSAIL Adjunct Lecturer, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines Founder, Ateneo Java Wireless Competency Center, and BlueBlade Technologies, Inc.

Question: How can we use Mobile Phone Technologiesfor Health in the Developing World?

General Applications Areas(for Present and Future)

Traditional Tele-medicineand Tele-health

Mobile-accessible healthrecords and databases

Educational / InformationalTools and Services

Reporting, Monitoring,Surveying, Epidemiology

Alerts Mobile and Connected

Medical Devices

Personal Healthcare andHealth InformationManagement

Phones as Tools

Suggestions for New Work

Multi-sided Services

provide value to consumers, sothat their payments will sustainthe service, and subsidizemonitoring, research, and datamining (or reality mining) bycentral health authorities orresearchers

Well-KnownTechniques/Solutionsin New Places, for New Diseases

apply to new diseases, and in new places

New Connected Medical Devices with special focus on affordable

technologies for 3rd world

Developing Toolkits enable people (e.g., academics)

to develop their own applications

with special focus on immediateusability in 3rd world

Some Already ExistingApplications

Remote health counseling (e.g., via SMS) Tools for Doctors to access patient tests, charts,

medications, and to monitor patients

Remote Diagnosis / Analysis via text,picture, or video info (e.g., fromcameraphone)

Educational/Informational tools andservices

Disease Prevalance Monitoring/Mapping

Drug Compliance and MedicationReminders

Adverse Event Reporting and Monitoring

SMS interface to Prescriptions System

Appointment Reminders and other Alerts fromdoctors to patients

Continuous Activity Monitoring with mobiledevice, Detection of unusual patterns, andReality Mining of data

Heart/Oxygen/Glucose monitoring

Personal Medical and Wellness Diary and

Calculation tool Phones as tools to connect and coordinate

health workers


11/45



For patients (parents) Mobile blog for baby (with both personal and medical use) records medical info, e.g., length, weight, vaccinations, prescriptions, developmental

milestones, etc. records personal info, e.g., pictures, videos, personal milestones, etc. access to useful parenting and baby health informational articles

For doctors / health care workers / pharmacists help calculate growth chart percentiles help calculate and record prescriptions (and diagnoses)

help record baby development, vaccinations, etc. help report disease prevalence to central authorities

For both Value of knowing all these things are recorded and conveniently recorded

vs. writing them down in a paper baby book that can get lost

More accurate calculations and information More accurate and convenient prescription system

For researchers and health authorities

Gather stats of baby heights and weights across the country immediately Previously, paper-based gathering of stats can take months With location-based stats, it can be used to pinpoint places where there is more

malnutrition, for example

Gathering stats on prescriptions and diagnoses can also indirectly provide real-time monitoring of diseases

e.g., detect districts where there is a high rate of prescriptions for diarrhea medicine

Can also enable direct reporting of certain diseases to allow authorities todetect and map outbreaks

(Note that stats might be informal but can still be useful. More formal studies can bedone on top of the existing system, with a subset of doctors.)

Partners In Health EMR Projects

Partners In Health (PIH) provides health care insome of the poorest communities in Haiti, Peru,Rwanda, Lesotho, Malawi and Russia

We have developed electronic medical record

systems to support the management of chronicdiseases such as HIV and drug resistant TB

These systems are designed to operate in veryresource poor environments with limited staff

and electrical supplies We are also carrying out evaluation studies ofinformation systems in resource poorenvironments


15/45

Key Functions

PIH EMR systems are designed to support multiplekey functions:

Clinical care and quality improvement Tracking and following up patients on treatment Monitoring and reporting Drug supply management Research

Low cost clinical imaging and radiology


16/45

OpenMRS

PIH is developing a new open sourcearchitecture for EMR systems for use indeveloping countries

This is in collaboration with the Regenstrief

Institute in Indiana and the medical ResearchCouncil in South Africa

The system uses a data dictionary to allowextension to new data types, simple creation of

new forms and accurate reporting across sites OpenMRS is currently in use in Rwanda, Kenya,Lesotho, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania andHaiti
