The mHealth Alliance seeks to leverage mobile networks and devices to improve health outcomes in underserved communities. It works to co-develop and deploy innovative, interoperable mHealth solutions that adhere to open standards and architectures. The Alliance aims to address issues like evidence gaps, fragmentation across stakeholders, and developing sustainable business models. It focuses on the maternal-newborn continuum of care through initiatives like the Maternal-Newborn Mobile Initiative. The goal is to transform health systems and drive innovation in a way that plans for scale and long-term processes from the start.
