Article Synopsis
- Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major public health issue, especially in low-resource settings where underreporting is common; mHealth apps could improve ADR reporting efficiently.
- A study in Ethiopia surveyed 422 healthcare professionals and found that 77.4% were willing to use mobile applications for ADR reporting, with their willingness influenced by factors like smartphone use, training, attitude, and perceived ease and usefulness of the apps.
- The findings highlight the potential for mHealth apps to enhance pharmacovigilance practices among healthcare professionals in resource-constrained areas, indicating a need for more training and resources.
