Summary

Population mobility is frequent in South Africa and disrupts the continuity of HIV care. Postpartum, HIV-positive women are at elevated risk of dropping out of HIV care and are highly mobile. This pilot study aims to engage peripartum, HIV-positive women as potential users to evaluate a novel smartphone application to assist these women with linkage to new HIV facilities and prospectively describe the mobility of this population.

DEVICE

CareConekta

CareConekta is a smartphone app developed in parallel with a series of focus group discussions that uses global positioning system (GPS) data to identify the user's location to meet two primary functions: (1) to allow the participant to locate ART facilities in South Africa that are near her current location, and (2) to trace mobility prospectively.
