Home Why Mobile? Mobile Speech Recognizer Persuasive Health Information Mobile Language Learning Berkeley Institute of Design		Persuasive Health Information A necessary precedent to providing sufficient healthcare in developing regions is providing access to appropriate healthcare information. Community health workers often lack the skill and training necessary to perform essential healthcare practices. Even in cases where training initiatives are in place, health workers often lack the confidence and motivation necessary to put their training into practice. Thus, it is not just a matter of providing access to healthcare information, but one of providing information in a way that encourages and promotes changes toward more healthy behavior. This summer we are off to Orissa, India for extensive fieldwork to begin initial designs of a mobile phone-based healthcare information delivery system. Come back here for more information soon! And please do contact us if you have feedback or ideas for collaboration!	Divya Ramachandran divya At eecs.berkeley.edu John Canny jfc At eecs.berkeley.edu
