Change Today: Trevor Perrier - Mobile Wach: A bidirectional SMS messaging system
by Trevor Perrier 27 May '14

27 May '14

*What*: Trevor Perrier *When:* Tuesday, May 27th at 12pm *Where:* The Allen Center, CSE 203 Please join us for this weeks Change Seminar. CSE graduate student Trevor Perrier will be presenting work done in collaboration with UW Global Health on creating an SMS messaging system and using it in randomized controlled trial for maternal health awareness in Nairobi Kenay. *Abstract:* In thistalk,I describe Mobile WaCH (Women and Child Health) - a collaboration between the Computer Science and Engineering and Global Health departments at the University of Washington the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi. Mobile WaCH is a controlled experiment piloting a bidirectional SMS messaging platform for public health awareness and behavior change with the goal of improve antenatal and postnatal health. Starting in September 2013 we began registering pregnant women at Mathare North Clinic outside of Nairobi. Women are randomized into one of three groups: a control who receive no SMS messages, a one-way group who receive health messaging content only, and a two-way group who are asked direct questions via SMS and communicate with a study nurse who can reply to each message through a custom web management console. Maternal health messaging begins 20 weeks before the estimated date of delivery and continuous 10 weeks after birth. Initial findings show 30% of the two way group respond to 40% of the messages and 60% respond to 20%. I will describe design considerations for building the platform, lesson learned since the study began and plans for future development. *About the speaker:* Trevor Perrier is a second year grad student at UW working with Richard Anderson and Gaetano Borriello in the ICTD lab in Computer Science and Engineering. His interests lie at the intersections of HCI and global development with a particular focus on ICTD related education initiatives. At UW Trevor has worked on three main ICTD projects: Projecting Health which uses pico projectors to display maternal health related videos in Uttar Pradesh, India; an SMS backed for receiving monthly vaccine reports in Laos; and Mobile WaCH which is an automated SMS messaging system for maternal health education and is being deployed in collaboration with UW Global Health.

What is the role of public access in the post-2015 development agenda?
by Melody Clark 20 May '14

20 May '14

TASCHA<http://tascha.uw.edu/>'s research is supporting the active engagement of its partners, Association of Progressive Communications (APC<http://www.apc.org/>) and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA<http://www.ifla.org/>), in the post-2015 agenda development process. Together with APC and IFLA, we have prepared a briefing paper, "Public access: Supporting digital inclusion for all - Maximising the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for inclusive social and economic development<http://tascha.uw.edu/publications/public-access-supporting-digital-inclusio…>." The paper was produced for the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD<http://unctad.org/en/Pages/cstd.aspx>), Seventeenth Session, May 12-16, 2014 in Geneva, Switzerland. The briefing paper draws UN Member States' attention to the importance of access to ICTs as a key issue in development and to the ongoing digital divide. It includes a checklist of action points for policymakers that highlights an ecosystem approach to ensure better public access. Drawing on findings from TASCHA's Global Impact Study of Public Access ICTs<http://tascha.uw.edu/projects/global-impact-study/>, the most important initiatives that need to be considered are: * Build awareness and information sharing. There is generally a shortage of knowledge of the importance of public access, and on how to implement and sustain public access facilities, especially in developing countries. Knowledge of best practices and sustainable solutions using the latest technologies needs to be assembled and circulated, in print, in online fora and in training workshops. * Improve the enabling environment - a basic requirement for public access facilities is low-cost high-speed connectivity. This requires a conducive policy and regulatory environment which ensures competitive, pervasive and reliable provision of internet services. * Implement use of universal access funds and other public policy instruments to support public access, not only at the national level but also through provincial or local municipal authorities. * Address human resource deficiencies. Policies need to be aimed at ensuring a sufficient number of appropriately trained people at a technical level to support public access facilities, for their staff to help in the provision of ICT services to the public, and for the public in how to make the most effective use of them, especially by women and other disenfranchised groups. * Invest in locally relevant applications and service development, particularly e-government services. This will help fuel the demand for access and make public access facilities more sustainable. Libraries in particular can be an effective vehicle for supporting the implementation of e-government strategies at the local level. * Set targets and monitor progress. Targets and indicators need to be adopted to enable measurement of progress in providing public access, and in assessing impact. This should be based on an objective methodology for evaluating the quality of access available to the general public.
