BACKGROUND The size of the Indonesian population and the shifting pattern of illness from infectious to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which leads to double disease burden, demand that Indonesia develop a variety of innovative efforts to control the numbers of NCDs. Moreover, NCDs are preventable and strongly influenced by lifestyle, therefore individual intervention to stimulate healthier lifestyle is important. One approach to support NCD programs is the use of mobile technology or mHealth. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work is to show the process of designing and developing a mobile health system, NusaHealth, which will be implemented in rural areas of Yogyakarta province. The NusaHealth system will be our pilot project to get better understanding and knowledge how mobile health solution answers the health problems in rural areas in terms of promotion and prevention health services. METHODS Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) seeks to address the challenges of developing a technology-based health management program. The development of the NusaHealth system starts from looking at the potential of health data that can be processed and enriched to become health information. The NusaHealth project builds a digital healthcare infrastructure involving universities, healthcare providers (hospitals, community health centers, clinics, health offices and others) and communities (including health volunteers) in a mHealth approach that puts patient at the center of health care. RESULTS The NusaHealth system has been realized through the process of design and development which involved experts and partners. Technical descriptions including supported device specifications, operating systems requirements, feature needed, user interface, data storage, interoperability and security assessment produced in the paper. Moreover, the infrastructure to connect mobile devices network with the hospital information system has been developed, as well as supporting systems such as SMS gateway and servers. CONCLUSIONS This paper proves that the process of designing and developing a mobile health solution for rural areas in developing countries needs to be comprehensive and the process of field implementation should involve related partners. While the NusaHealth pilot project in rural areas of Yogyakarta province was successfully implemented, further activities need to be implemented to enhance community health through development of formal mobile health system supported by local health district offices’ policies and regulations. Wider geographical areas will be a challenging opportunity in measuring whether this system is suitable in the context of developing country. CLINICALTRIAL None

Starting Point

Priority setting is a normal and important task in any health system. The starting point is current knowledge and evidence, but priority setting is also about judgement, which goes beyond what can be based on evidence. Wherever possible, judgement needs to be based on transparent and systematic methods that are open to question and debate by others....
