The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the African Strategies for Health (ASH) project are pleased to announce the launch of the mHealth Database. This resource compiles over 100 case studies on mobile health applications that have been featured in ASH’s series of the mHealth Compendium.  

Mobile health (mHealth) is the provision of health services and information via mobile and wireless technologies. Within Africa the mobile phone has become ubiquitous, making mHealth applications an important tool with which to impact the health of Africans. When applied correctly, mHealth can make real contributions to improved health outcomes.

The mHealth Compendiums contain case studies which document a range of mHealth applications being implemented primarily in Africa. They serve as a comprehensive resource for implementers and donors to access mHealth information, resources, and contact information.

This database compiles information on applications featured in the compendiums and facilitates a quick and targeted search based on health area, application type, and location.
