Objectives: To identify and explore the experiences of health professionals towards using mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) technology.
Introduction: Mobile technology is increasingly being incorporated into healthcare systems, and when implemented well, has the potential to revolutionise the way in which care is delivered. The uptake of mobile ECG technology enables health professionals to record and transmit ECGs electronically, at the point of care.
Introduction: People who experience homelessness face disproportionately poor reproductive health and adverse pregnancy outcomes, including but not limited to unintended pregnancy, abortion, low birth weight and preterm birth, as well as a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Precarious living conditions are known to contribute to poor uptake and engagement with sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) for this population.
Aim: To identify and understand the perceived barriers and facilitators for accessing and utilising SRH for people who experience homelessness from their perspective, and the perspective of support staff/volunteers and healthcare professionals.

Accordingly, efforts have been directed towards mapping risk and protective factors onto general ecological frameworks, but these currently do not take into account the context of modern armed conflict. A literature overview approach was used to identify SRH related risk and protective factors specifically for young women affected by modern armed conflict.
