The platform would allow patients to ask questions, access educational content, and share stories to build understanding and awareness of TB treatment. A pilot program would connect 60 TB patients in Mumbai through an interactive voice application to encourage knowledge sharing and reduce treatment default rates. The goal is to strengthen the TB patient community, lift social stigmas, and empower patients through anonymous peer support and access to reliable healthcare information.
Community Workers Adopt Mobile Technology to Improve Maternal-Child Health - SoStefano Montanari
Community health workers in South Africa called "mentor mothers" are using mobile tablets pre-loaded with educational videos to improve maternal and child health. The tablets help the mentor mothers teach basic health and nutrition facts to at-risk mothers in their communities. Initial feedback shows the mothers are engaged by the new technology and learning approach. The project aims to expand access to healthcare information for underserved communities and accelerate training of new mentor mothers. It could serve as a model for using mobile technologies to improve health outcomes globally.
Mobile Diagnosis is a project that aims to connect health workers worldwide for better diagnosis using existing mobile phone platforms. It allows health workers in remote areas to take pictures of diagnostic images through a microscope or other device and send them via MMS for an accurate diagnosis from a reference center. The method was developed by an Italian pathologist working in Lampedusa who needed to confirm a malaria diagnosis. It has since been used in various projects in countries like Uganda, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and future projects are planned for Bangladesh and Madagascar. The method provides an affordable, easy way for isolated health workers to get diagnostic consultations without relying on slow or expensive traditional technologies.

The researcher aims to identify locally applicable mHealth solutions and share learnings to avoid duplicating efforts.
Communication with stakeholders is integral to learning and transforming society. Media plays both positive and negative roles in education. Positively, media educates people on social issues and connects them. It stimulates learning through various formats like print, radio, television, and internet. However, media also has negative impacts like promoting stereotypes. Overall, media and education impact each other, with media enhancing learning when used properly as a tool, and education improving media literacy.
This document discusses a thesis project that explores designing new services and technologies to assist patients with type 2 diabetes management. The project focuses on patients who lack social support, as poor management is often due to a lack of understanding and clinical support. Through research, the author found that peer support is key for lifestyle management and can be provided through an online community. The thesis proposes a peer mentor service called CareMentors that is introduced after diagnosis to combat a lack of social support. A prototype was created and evaluated, finding that mentor relationships are beneficial for newly diagnosed or those losing control, and that safety of mentors is important.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

8. There are many things in our life that will catch our eyes
, but only a few will catch our heart.
Day by day , the days were putting on my eyes, on my
mind and on my hearth a reality that I had never knew,
never considered . the migrations the wars
the death the mothers and children refugees
the people without a hope the human rights
Suddenly all the fears of those people,
worries, anxieties, the their pain became of
mine. I had the compassion , the commitment,
the feeling for those world so far but near, so near…
12. The First Action :Response to an Humanitarian Emergency
Lampedusa, 2008
for the urgent need to confirm a diagnosis of malaria from a
blood sample of an African immigrant
I took a picture of the microscopic field using the camera
incorporated in my cheap mobile-phone, and sent it via MMS
for tele-diagnostic purposes to a reference center.
14. After the “Lampedusa experience” we showed that m-phones can be
easily used without any adaptor to take images from the microscope
and send them for remote reference.

17. In each courses where I was attending , the professors,
interested to my work, gave to me their availability to be
consultant friends
Was borning the network of MobileDiagnosis…..
18. This described Method has been filed for patent in April 2008,
with the sole purpose to protecting the idea from commercialization and
consent its free use and dissemination.
The Meeting with Eduardo Missoni
In 2009 I met Eduardo Missoni. He immediately
understood the relevance of the her Method, and
after only two months they published the method
it together in Diagnostic Pathology, an international
open access scientific journal. It was the beginning
of their collaboration, based on common vision and goals
MobileDiagnosis®, the Association No Profit
In 2010 Livia, Eduardo, Giorgio and Vincenzo Prestigiacomo (Livia’s sons)
founded MobileDiagnosis® a Non Profit Association to advocate the global
access to care and to education.

21. Chapter three : my experience with a
Nobel :Professor Muhammad Yunus
“Dear Professor Yunus I wont to be useful…..”
During the writing of the first paper on the method
(published with Eduardo Missoni
on Diagnostic Pathology - free access )
I have seen one phrase of professor Muhammad Yunus.
If to a poor woman in a poor village you giv a mobile…I loved
this man and its words, so a summer Sunday , I wrote to him…..
22. From my corrispondence……At 00:05 24/08/2009,
Dear Doctor Yunus,
i'm Livia bellina,medical doctor,pathologist in Lampedusa Island,....
i had a very full life,and now ,i wont to give my self to for others.
in my youth i'm make research,....and i work in the university ,as
teaching,and instructor,..now,with Prof Missoni, we wont advocate the free
use of this image transmission,and, if need,
theaching,the method .
All that we make is free,because,i think the medical and technology is a right
of humanity,
our work can be found online at
http://www.diagnosticpathology.org/content/4/1/19
The healt is a right ,but isn't for all.......
in attach i send a Professor Missoni's letter related to a commercial use of
variuos methods similar ,
i be at your beck and the call
thank for attention……
Yes ! I studied french……not english…;)
24. After 2 days I received this answer….

August 26, 2009
Dear Dr. Bellina :
I am very much interested in your methods. We are now
focusing in building a healthcare system for the rural areas of
Bangladesh. Your methods will be very helpful to us.
Please let us know how take the next step.
Warm regards.
Yunus ……and I went to Bangladesh……
25. I remember still the great emotion that I had for Prof.Yunus
invitation . I believe that this emotion have been one the
biggest emotions of my life . I went to Bangladesh, and I
introduced also my son to Professor Yunus, an extraordinary
man . Several and several time He spent its time with me , also
with my son, playing and conversating in very friendly way.
26. In 2010 I went as volunteer in Bangladesh, upon
Prof. Muhammad Yunus’ invitation, teaching and applying
MobileDiagnosis, linking the health centers in rural areas of
Bangladesh to the headquarters in Dhaka.
I lived in rural centers (Tangail and Comilla). For several weeks,
I taught and worked with the students all day long, from early
morning to sunset. In Grameen Foundation's health centers, he
organized a “school “ of lowcost telepathology and basic
telemedicine, based only on the local minimal equipment and
available cellphones.
27. I have been part of
Grameen Family and
Yunus Center in
DhaKa
I experimented on the
ground my method
Professor Yunus
introduced me in
public way , at the
first SB day,during a
world connection
38. 2011 -WHO published MobileDiagnosis on the
Compendium of Innovative Technologies address to Global Health
2011 - Rockefeller published MobileDiagnosis in their site as
“Philanthropic project”
2011 - GHWF Alliance admitted MobileDiagnosis as members
2011 -M-Health Alliance member

APPLICATIONS
44. Thanks to the observation of easily and quickly learning by
illiterate subjects
(Dinajpur, Bangladesh 2011) and by vulnerable women
living in isolated and difficult contexts (Herat, Afghanistan,
2011) we started to study the psychological relationships
between m-phone use in teaching and learning mechanisms
This educative method is based on three elements plus
one:
1 )Interactive-creative two phase approach to the students.
2 )Interactive-creative lessons, based on logic , algorithms
and use of mobile.
3) On the job lessons and use of mobile phone as didactic
tool for practical learning.
M-phone impact on practical training: role of m-phone as part of the educative method
for training local health workers of rural areas of developing countries DOI

45. Using the Mobile as educational-interactive tool: a new,
unconventional, method.
This Method could be an useful tool in all the situations
where the students are fragile subjects and/or with learning
problems or communication difficulties.
This new method, casually born, is based on mobile use,
mental maps and interactive session during the lessons "on the
field”: a new method created day by day.
The psychological basis of these surprising results are the
subject of a scientific article (on course of application for
publishing).

47. Mobile Diagnosis: Bridging Sociocultural Gaps and Empowering Women
Livia Bellina and Eduardo Missoni Telemedicine and e-Health. November 2011, Vol. 17, No. 9: 750-750
DOI : 10.1089/tmj.2011.9976
48. The new method was showing a strong power in educating the low
skill health workers and also the non educated people.
A new way for comunicating
49. THE PROJECT : TO IMPROVE THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY EDUCATING
AND CONNECTING THE PEOPLE
Analysis Development The social and economic
impact
50. In the World
•The people living in rural setting of developing countries ,
after having studied , goes away, for look a
better life out of their country
•A billion people never see
a health worker in their
whole lives *
* GHWFA
51. Health workers are the heart and soul of health
systems. And yet, the world is faced with a chronic
shortage - an estimated 4.2 million health workers are
needed to bridge the gap, with 1.5 million needed in
Africa alone. The critical shortage is recognized as one
of the most fundamental constraints to achieving
progress on health and reaching health and
development goals. GHWFA
And there is where MobileDiagnosis makes a great difference
by adding a successful technological innovation to fill the gap
left by the shortage of health workers and/or by difficult access
to clinical laboratories for diagnosis.
53. Developing Projects: Innovation by appropriate , frugal
technology.
Developing models for studying mechanisms that characterize the socio-cultural
dynamics of different rural communities and their needs
perceived, thanks to socio-anthropological surveys studying on local
behaviour and traditions, for improve at the best the local wellness
respecting the local life, traditions, uses.
54. Developing Projects:
m-education and distance learning
Distance learning through an "open access open-door" web site
(work in progress) based on an "interactive course" .This
“evolution” of project , thanks to creation of a network of
education centres linked together and connected to the web
platform of MobileDiagnosis® Network for sharing of data,
images and texts for education, and an open-source training
centre, with an images library and an interactive school. will be
possible access to this "school" from the educational page of
MobileDiagnosis® website
Expand the area of action
Remote support for a better diagnosis
55. Developing Projects: Innovation by appropriate , frugal
technology: MD RURAL CLINIC
Design and development of innovative, unconventional prototypes of
modular health and education centers, thanks to research of new solutions,
focused on environment respect and autonomous generation of clean energy,
sanitized water, and safe waste elimination in a perspective of sustainability
for the complete integration in the local scenario.
