Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth), which comprises mobile health applications, telemedicine, SMS-based treatments, and wearable health monitors, has the power to change healthcare delivery, but at the same-time, it is going through a rapid developmental phase that regulators cannot keep up with. This is considered a necessity in balancing the Integration of mHealth technology innovation through enhanced laws within East Africa. It is in view of this that this examines the legal and public health framework in integrating mHealth technology in enhancing the healthcare system within East Africa. The study adopts a doctrinal and systematic analytical method of study directed by the PRISMA framework, allowing thorough legal analysis while at the same time guaranteeing a transparent, stringent, and comprehensive review of related literature. The study found that fragmentation of laws, lack of centralized public health and data governance, unequal access to mHealth services, and constraints on innovation, weakens the integration and regulation of mHealth. Hence, the study recommends and concludes that for effective integration of mHealth in enhancing the public health care system, the research insists on a unified legal system that states unambiguously which data protection benchmarks apply, what the liability conditions are, what the integration of different systems and regulations requirements is, and how to coordinate among different countries' regulators. Besides that, it suggests measures for strengthening the capacity of the targeted groups, such as: medical professionals, trainees, users’ digital literacy campaigns, and local mHealth technology developers’ institutions’ support.

Abstract

In recent years, the advent of social media, mobile communication, and online news platforms has greatly changed the way public health information is produced, spread, and consumed. Besides this, the rise in Internet usage for health-related information has also made the public more susceptible to false or deceptive information, thereby giving rise to numerous problems, such as public health, trust in institutions, and the effectiveness of controlling diseases. The Ugandan government must implement digital solutions to combat public health misinformation because this task safeguards citizens' health rights and their right to receive accurate information, which helps maintain public safety. Consequently, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the state’s legal obligations to the extent that it can prevent, correct, and respond to misinformation on public health issues, as well as to examine the current legislative and regulatory framework governing digital governance and public health in light of this. Using a doctrinal research method based on the PRISMA framework, the study comprehensively studies both primary and secondary legal sources. The outcome indicates that, given the sophisticated nature of digital technology, the existing regulations are mainly reactive, dealing with punishment more often than prevention or correction of the misinformation. The study ends with the suggestion that the mechanism of regulatory enforcement should change from one that is mostly punitive to one that is preventive and corrective in nature. Among other things, it will mean requiring an active public health messaging, having real-time fact-checking systems, and having the official digital channels work together to correct misinformation.
