I am excited about more work from e-health researchers is coming to AIDS and Behavior. Keep an eye on the papers published Online First, more will be posted soon.<br />Thanks againSeth Kalichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715826946361587097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463162470521624306.post-47717448590855324362010-12-19T04:11:48.587-05:002010-12-19T04:11:48.587-05:00It's really a nice concept to improve HIV care...It's really a nice concept to improve HIV care and support system by using easily available modern communications in developing nations. More RCTS are needed to make a coordinated backup system involving HIV care providers, Information technology and Non governmental organization.<br /><br />Dhruba Mahajan,GHTM,Chennai,IndiaDhrubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806690141165389356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463162470521624306.post-76818557233368206922010-12-19T03:45:26.596-05:002010-12-19T03:45:26.596-05:00It's really a nice concept to improve HIV care...It's really a nice concept to improve HIV care and support system by using easily available modern communication in developing nations.

I'm a little concerned, however, with terms like "revolutionize" and "must use" based on a cross-sectional study with an absolute increase in adherence of 2.1%. We really need RCTs to look at the impact of mobile phones on adherence and retention in care. I know Richard Lester will be presenting some data in this area soon at the mHealth Summit in Washington DC. Perhaps there are other such studies in the pipeline as well. I personally anticipate positive results, but want to make sure the science is there to back up the excitement.<br /><br />Jessica Haberer, Massachusetts General HospitalUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458653649326876150noreply@blogger.com
