The number and type of mobile health (mHealth) applications, developed for a wide variety of health interventions, have proliferated over the past several years. This is particularly true in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where mHealth solutions have been proposed to address the huge shortfalls in qualified health professionals by complementing a task-redistribution strategy with clinical decision support [1]. While there has been a subsequent surge in the literature following the rapid growth in mHealth interventions, most studies have been focused on the outcomes of interventions.
