The vision of the investigators is to build capacity in technology-driven healthcare innovation in LMCIs. The programme will be initiated by a feasibility and proof-of-concept (POC) study to tackle the lack of awareness around immunization, which is a major health issue in developing countries. Mobile apps and social media have been shown to be effective in various programmes worldwide, but there is limited data from LMICs on the use of digital technologies in improving routine immunization (RI) coverage.
