Vodacom Business, the enterprise division of Vodacom Group, today announced the launch of a number of mHealth initiatives together with its partner Mezzanineware.

Based on a centralised mobile/cloud environment, Vodacom\'s Mezzanine mHealth services allow health care or technology providers to improve their access to clients, assets and employees. This is done through secure, real-time data collection, information processing, management and reporting. What\'s more, all mHealth services can be deployed by 3rd party service providers.

\"By using our mHealth services our customers can enhance their service delivery, cost-efficiency and return on investment, essentially freeing up their time to focus on their core business,\" said Maruis Conradie, e/m-Health Executive at Vodacom.

Originally built for the highly demanding health industry, the services have been customised to work across various industry verticals. Vodacom offers four generic solution sets:
Vodacom Mezzanine Workforce Management is a cost effective and easy to implement mobile workforce tool that monitors and evaluates the performance of an individual (e.g. health care worker) based on his/her job description, to ensure that high quality service is provided. This application allows management to link remuneration to performance and quality of service delivered.

Vodacom Mezzanine Asset Management allows stock levels or measured parameters to be submitted with a mobile or machine-to-machine device on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. By using the application the asset can be monitored from a centralised web-based portal and appropriate management actions automated. This allows health departments to avoid stock-outs on dispensing level. This is important as assuring the availability of drugs is essential in providing quality health care services.

Vodacom Mezzanine Customer Management provides a standard and integrated mechanism with which customer information can be effectively recorded, tracked, analysed and subsequently reported to the relevant stakeholders for management and interaction. This means that home and community based care services in the primary health care system will be able to manage patient information with real-time, accurate reporting to health departments, corporate employers or funding parties.

Vodacom Mezzanine Assessment is an event or transaction capturing tool for mobile phones. It uses time-stamp, GPS positioning and the camera of the phone to seamlessly capture and report information in real-time. For example, a health and wellness prevention (screening) module can be used by social and health service providers to enable the implementation of de-centralised preventative programmes on a community, corporate or home-based level.
