Recommendations on digital interventions for health system strengthening – Evidence and recommendations

WHO guideline

Overview

Although the systematic reviews included accessibility via mobile devices to ensure that these digital interventions are applicable in low resource settings where extensive computerized systems may not be available, it does not preclude the recommended interventions from being used on non-mobile digital devices, such as desktop computers.

Most of the digital health interventions in this guideline are targeted at or expected to be used by health workers. The following findings point to factors that influence the acceptability and feasibility of digital interventions used by health workers. These findings are based on qualitative evidence syntheses and overviews of digital health interventions for health workers in primary care (Web Supplement 2A); mLearning (Web Supplement 2B) stock notification and tracking commodities (Web Supplement 2D), and birth and death notification (Web Supplement 2E).
