To improve the completeness of reporting
of mobile health (mHealth) interventions, the WHO mHealth Technical
Evidence Review Group developed the mHealth evidence reporting and
assessment (mERA) checklist. The development process for mERA consisted
of convening an expert group to recommend an appropriate approach,
convening a global expert review panel for checklist development, and
pilot testing the checklist. The guiding principle for the development
of these criteria was to identify a minimum set of information needed to
define what the mHealth intervention is (content), where it is being
implemented (context), and how it was implemented (technical features),
to support replication of the intervention. This paper presents the
resulting 16 item checklist and a detailed explanation and elaboration
for each item, with illustrative reporting examples. Through widespread
adoption, we expect that the use of these guidelines will standardise
the quality of mHealth evidence reporting, and indirectly improve the
quality of mHealth evidence.

ReplyDeleteI’ve been living with Parkinson’s disease for some time, and nothing I tried seemed to make a lasting difference—until I began the herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I was skeptical at first, but after about four months, I started to notice real improvements. My tremors became less frequent, my stiffness reduced, and my balance and coordination gradually began to improve.
For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my body and daily life. I can move more freely, sleep better, and even enjoy simple activities again without constant discomfort. The changes have been truly uplifting—both physically and emotionally.
If you're exploring natural options for managing Parkinson’s, I genuinely recommend giving this a try. It’s been a life-changing experience for me.
