简要总结
Major barriers to controlling cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in India and elsewhere are: low detection rates, inadequate use of evidence based interventions and low adherence with these interventions. Primary health care is the appropriate setting for improving the prevention and management of these chronic conditions. We will develop and evaluate an innovative mobile health (mHealth) software application –‘m-WELLCARE’- which provides a patient health profile, decision support for clinical care, monitoring and feedback for use in Indian Community Health Centers (CHCs). We will conduct this research following the steps proposed by the medical research council (MRC) for evaluation of complex interventions. Technical development of m-WELLCARE will be conducted, user acceptability appraised and potential barriers overcome. m-WELLCARE will be evaluated in CHCs of two states, Haryana and Karnataka. The use made of m-WELLCARE, its impact on patterns of health care received and changes in risk factors achieved will be evaluated.
