Refugees’ Immunization App (RImA) pilot and evaluation

FacebookTwitterLinked In

Start Date: 01/08/2018- End Date: 31/01/2020


Project Lead(s): Ziad El-Khatib

The Jordan University of Science and Technlogy is implementing the Refugees' Immunization App (RimA) pilot, which is a smartphone app intervention to record the vaccination histories and send follow-up reminders to patients in refugee camp settings. The health needs of highly-mobile and vulnerable population are tenuous and difficult to track using traditional paper records. However, this digital device will offer portable recording through a standardized approach, will be available in multiple languages, and will be translatable in case of migration to a different context.
