CareConekta: A Pilot Study of a Smartphone App to Improve Engagement in Postpartum HIV Care in South Africa
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CareConekta for HIV/AIDS and Pregnancy Related. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Population mobility is common in South Africa, but important research gaps exist describing this mobility and its impact on engagement in HIV care, particularly among pregnant and postpartum women. Through this study, the investigators propose to test a smartphone application - CareConekta - to conduct essential formative work on mobility and evaluate this app as an intervention to facilitate engagement in HIV care during times of mobility. This work is critical to adapting CareConekta for widespread use, providing critical information about mobility during the peripartum period and the impact on engagement in HIV care, and piloting this intervention to improve engagement.
