Why is it important?
Many digital health innovations fail to reach acceptance and adoption in low resourced settings in sub-saharan Africa or generally in lower middle income countries. These innovations could be low cost and easily deployed. But fail to achieve mainstream adoption due to different socio-cultural dynamics. This is important because we try to identify the best participatory approach that could lead to adoption and acceptance.
Perspectives
