Mobile Management

The mobile management functions include SIM management, content management and mobile app management functions. 

​

This NDoH App Store also allows text messages being sent to users without data-enabled services, while ensuring NDoH oversight of the process. The framework has incorporated a reversed bill service with all South African mobile network operators to allow free download and browsing of apps by the end users.

 

Content Management

Enables the NDoH to establish guidelines and a framework for mobile app developers to ensure that their apps are integrated into the NDoH architecture and digital health platform.

​

App management

Creates an NDoH App Store to host and provide access to NDoH-certified mobile apps.  Which can be readily extended by adapting and integrating other apps that have already been deployed and are providing additional services such that they become integrated into the App Store platform and public health services. 

​

Additional benefits of the App Store

• The mobile management functions will help NDoH realise the potential of mobile health 

• Effectively manage known challenges

• Supporting implementing apps at scale

• Management of devices in the field

• Reducing telecommunications costs

• Improved interoperability between apps
