The Rwandan Ministry of Health together with Jembi Health Systems, InSTEDD and the Regenstrief Institute are creating and implementating an integrated health information system that will improve maternal and child care in Rwanda at health centre level. The creation of the system includes the development and implementation of a number of core national components that together with a point of care system combine to create an overall health information exchange that makes client information and medical histories easily accessible to health care providers.
The components include the creation of national registries for clients, providers and facilities, the creation of a national Shared Health Record and an Interoperability layer that facilitates the transfer of knowledge between the registries and the point of care system.

As our contributor Kurt Davis Jr. wrote last week, “the cell phone is ubiquitous in Africa.” Accordingly, the number of African apps in recent years has proliferated.
While you may have heard of M-PESA or Ushahidi, here are five innovative African apps that you probably haven’t heard of. 1. Frontline SMS The idea for Frontline SMS, an open-source software that allows NGOs to communicate with people in areas lacking internet access, first started in 2004 when Ken Banks was working on a conservation effort in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. A map of where Frontline SMS has been deployed. 2. Created by MTL Systems in conjunction with a team of certified doctors, Mimba Bora, Swahili for “best pregnancy,” aims to provide expectant mothers with all the information they need to have a healthy pregnancy.

The mobile health (mHealth) space, especially as it relates to health behavior change and chronic and infectious disease management, has been a long running theme of mine for increasing reach, effectiveness, efficiency and equity of interventions. (See Integrating cellphones and mobile technologies into public health practice -pdf). The allure of mHealth, often promoted via stories, case studies and visions of the mobile future, has raced ahead of most objective analyses. For the best mHealth papers of 2012, I selected ones that address many important - but skimmed over - issues. The first paper examines how to assess health systems, their readiness and capacity to scale up mHealth interventions.
This paper focuses on South Africa, but the framework and conclusions could fit most developed and LMIC contexts. The two papers that follow describe intervention trials. Finally, the last two articles look at the current and future state of mHealth. Leon N, Schneider H, Daviaud E.
