Health programming for men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa has been ignored or absent until fairly recently, despite this population being at high risk for HIV acquisition and transmission. Anova Health Institute, with support from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and in collaboration with the South African National Department of Health, launched the first state sector MSM-targeted sexual health clinic in 2010. The clinic has been successful in attracting and retaining MSM in care, and lessons learned are described in this article. Components contributing to the creation of MSM-appropriate healthcare services are discussed.

This paper discusses some relevant methodological and implementation experiences acquired during the design and development of an embedded Fall Detection System (FDS), which can be of help in order to develop efficient and safe biomedical software for mobile Health (mHealth). For this purpose, an analysis of concepts like portability and iterative design, as well as some concerns about risks and safety involved, is provided in order to address some of the current challenges in embedded software, regarding the state-of-art of software development standards and mHealth technologies. This analysis is later evaluated for a custom pre-industrial prototype of the FDS, as an example of the feasibility of the approach followed. The results obtained show that a convenient methodological process can help to optimize available resources so as to provide affordable mHealth solutions.

Application Analysis

This paper describes a rigorous yet practical process for evaluating mobile health care products (native and webbased software applications) to identify design issues that present a risk to patients. The process uses a model-based approach to application analysis, combining techniques from human factors, human-computer interaction, safety engineering and patient safety. Examples from mobile products in development are used to illustrate how the process facilitates detection of common design issues. Lessons learned from developing and applying the process also are discussed.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to bring preventive healthcare within reach of populations with limited access to preventive services, by delivering personalized support at low cost. Although numerous mHealth interventions are available, very few have been developed following an evidence-based rationale or have been tested for efficacy. This article describes the systematic development of a coach-supported mHealth application to improve healthy lifestyles for the prevention of dementia and cardiovascular disease in the United Kingdom (UK) and China.Methods: Development of the Prevention of Dementia by Mobile Phone applications (PRODEMOS) platform built upon the experiences with the Healthy Aging Through Internet Counseling in the Elderly (HATICE) eHealth platform. In the conceptualization phase, experiences from the HATICE trial and needs and wishes of the PRODEMOS target population were assessed through semi-structured interviews and focus group sessions. Initial technical development of the platform was based on these findings and took place in consecutive sprint sessions. Finally, during the evaluation and adaptation phase, functionality and usability of the platform were evaluated during pilot studies in UK and China.Results: The PRODEMOS mHealth platform facilitates self-management of a healthy lifestyle by goal setting, progress monitoring, and educational materials on healthy lifestyles. Participants receive remote coaching through a chat functionality. Based on lessons learned from the HATICE study and end-users, we made the intervention easy-to-use and included features to personalize the intervention. Following the pilot studies, in which in total 77 people used the mobile application for 6 weeks, the application was made more intuitive, and we improved its functionalities.Conclusion: Early involvement of end-users in the development process and during evaluation phases improved acceptability of the mHealth intervention. The actual use and usability of the PRODEMOS intervention will be assessed during the ongoing PRODEMOS randomized controlled trial, taking a dual focus on effectiveness and implementation outcomes.
