Description

Epidemics have always impaired humankind. One way to facilitate and enhance epidemic management is by leveraging mobile health technology by improving monitoring, surveillance and public awareness. However, the existing landscape of mobile health solutions for epidemic management is largely unstructured, with no existing classification system in place. To address this, we developed a taxonomy based on the analysis of 117 mobile Health apps for epidemic management and relevant literature and performed a cluster analysis of available apps. The taxonomy consists of two meta-dimensions: epidemic management context and mobile application context. The taxonomy may serve IS researchers, public health decision makers, and app developers as a basis for future analyses of epidemic management apps.
