Abstract

The article focuses on the evidences for further application and scaling up of mobile health system. The World Bank reports that there were 500 mobile health studies and donor agencies which support the scaling of mobile health. It mentions that despite of various pilot studies, there were insufficient evidences to implement and scale up the mobile health. It suggests that innovative research designs such as randomized controlled trials and data farming may provide additional evidence.
