primary health care workers. The project involves a number of researchers 
and dedicated professional developers distributed between Norway, Vietnam, 
India and other countries. MobiHealth is part of a broader development and 
research agenda within the global Health Information Systems Programme 
(HISP), which develops and deploys the widely accepted open source Health 
Information system called DHIS2. The DHIS2 software is chosen as a 
national HIS standard in many countries, and has numerous high impact 
deployments in Africa and Asia. The technology and projects give a unique 
arena for learning about mobile health at a global scale and a rare 
opportunity for working with a varied group of international health 
information systems experts from a wide range of countries. The research 
work and experience within the group gives a solid platform for those who 
wish to specialize in mobile health solutions on a national or

experience from different projects. We are looking for a person with 
mobile software development experience who can combine a socio-technical
