Official title:
Could Low-Cost Mobile Health Interventions Make a Difference?:Enhancing Outcomes of Noncommunicable Diseases Care in Rural Settings and Refugee Camps
Rural areas and refugee camps are characterized by poor access of patients to needed noncommunicable disease (NCD)-related health services, including diabetes and hypertension. This community trial study aims to assess the effect of employing low-cost mHealth tools on the accessibility to health services and improvement of health indicators of individuals with NCDs in rural areas and refugee camps in Lebanon.
Rural areas and refugee camps are characterized by poor access of patients to needed
noncommunicable disease (NCD)-related health services, including diabetes and hypertension.
Employing low-cost innovative eHealth interventions, such as mobile health (mHealth), may
help improve NCDs prevention and control among disadvantaged populations.
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of employing low-cost mHealth tools on the
accessibility to health services and improvement of health indicators of individuals with
NCDs in rural areas and refugee camps in Lebanon.
This is a community trial study in which centers were allocated randomly into control and
intervention sites. The effect of an employed mHealth intervention is assessed through
selected quality indicators examined in both control and intervention groups. Sixteen primary
health care centers (eight controls, eight interventions) located in rural areas and
Palestinian refugee camps across Lebanon were included in this study. Data on diabetic and
hypertensive patients—1433 in the intervention group and 926 in the control group—was
extracted from patient files in the pre and postintervention periods. The intervention
entailed weekly short message service messages, including medical information, importance of
compliance, and reminders of appointments or regular physician follow-up. Internationally
established care indicators were utilized in this study.
