Abstract
By the development of a mHealth tablet app together with modular
interactive tiles for rehabilitation, we intend to facilitate the co-design, adaptation,
demonstration and validation of modular ICT solutions for rehabilitation in deep
rural sub-Saharan Africa. This results in highly mobile, modular and energy efficient
technology which can be set up and used anywhere and anytime. We have formed a
national partnership for sustainable implementation, comprising a governmental
representative, national hospital, national health university department, regional
hospitals, Living Labs and NGOs performing community-based rehabilitation.
Thereby, we investigate the adaptation, contextualisation and implementation in
different rehabilitation methods and centres, including hospitals both in a city centres
and in a rural area, NGO’s performing community based rehabilitation, and
rehabilitation centres. Together, the partners contextualise the eHealth solution to fit
the needs in urban, rural and deep rural areas.
