“…Of the total 53 studies, nearly half the studies (45%) were quantitative(21,2628,31,3336,38,39,42,43,45,50,51,53,55,58,59,63,64,66,70), 14 (26%) were qualitative (13,20,22,29,32,37,44,4648,60,65,67,69), 12 (23%) were mixed-methods (2325,30,40,41,52,54,56,57,62,68) and 3 (6%) were review studies. (49,61,71) No study on the use of mHealth was published before 2013 and 64% (13,2051,55) of the studies were published after 2018 with the maximum (n=12, 23%)(13,22,2431,33,34) number of studies being published in 2021.…”

“…First, beneficiaries who trust their health workers and the government more broadly are willing to provide accurate data 21 22. Second, data entry systems that are easy to use, appropriate to the local context and useful to the frontline worker facilitate data accuracy and timeliness 8 23. And third, supportive supervision and adequate resources are vital to building frontline health worker skills and knowledge across clinical and administrative functions 24–26…”

“…[3][4][5] ICTs for HIS have great potential to strengthen health systems by streamlining data collection and entry, accelerating the transmission and analysis of data, instituting validity checks and increasing frontline worker access to a range of clinical and administrative support services. [6][7][8] The digitisation of HIS has occurred concurrently with increasing mobile phone penetration at a population level and, in turn, an increase in mobile health (mHealth) initiatives. mHealth programmes can transmit health-related information, send reminders and solicit patient feedback on services.…”
