SHORT SUMMARY
In this report, we present the end-user needs of inclusion for the four targeted groups and
subgroups, from Peru, Brazil and Colombia. We also include a general overview of the Mobile
Inclusion Macro Value Chain, including its three dimensions—Education, Health and Occupation.
This deliverable D4.1—part of WP4 - Starting point: Identification of end-users needs for inclusion
—is a document containing the analysis of current needs of targeted End-Users, inserted in a
socio-technological system driven by a value chain. This document will be an initial input for
discussion of the Workgroup 1: End-Users collaboration level aiming to create the End-users
roadmap draft, after the workgroups interactions.
D4.1 has the objective to go in depth on needs evaluation and refine the first assessment for the
main needs of the four target groups addressed, made by the consortium in the project. D4.1.
will be the input for the end-users workshops and those discussions will set the direction for the
discussions in the technology workshops. Also, the latter body of data will serve as input for
D.5.1—the report on the M-Inclusion Benchmark.
This document starts with a first chapter with a brief introduction, and then we continue defining
the end- user’s needs for inclusion. In a second chapter, we present the results from the analysis
of the end-user´s interviews and the end-user´s target representatives. The third chapter we
discuss these results. Finally, we present conclusions that will generate input for D.5.1.

1. INTRODUCTION
Latin America is one of the regions with the most ethnical, racial and cultural diversity of the
world, according to Buvinic et al. (2004). The region, however, must overcome a long and
conflicted history of exclusionary practices that led to a divided and unequal society, impeding the
achievement of the wealth that there is in the diversity. This diversity represents an important
asset and a key element to achieve a lasting political and economic stability and to build a
righteous, cohesive and democratic society.
“Social inclusion refers to the extent that individuals, families and communities are able to fully
participate in society and control their destinies.” (1)
By the end of 2011, Latin America and the Caribbean had 177 million inhabitants living below the
poverty line, 70 million of them in extreme poverty (2). Acute socioeconomic inequality, along
with gender, racial, and sexual discrimination, pose public health challenges in the region of Latin
America and the Caribbean. Nearly 35 percent of the region´s population lives in poverty, with
12.6 percent living in extreme poverty. The social agenda continues to be to reduce poverty and
inequities in the context of an ambivalent reality. Although, in net terms, over 60 million persons
in LAC emerged from poverty in 2010, an unprecedented magnitude of change (2), an increase in
income inequality has been seen, for example recent data point out that 21% of young people in
Latin America neither work nor study. (2)
While the relative incidence of urban poverty in the Region fell from 41% in 1990 to 29% in 2007,
the absolute number of urban poor paradoxically increased, from 122 million to 127 million (2).
Cities tend to concentrate wealth, creativity, innovation, and opportunities on all fronts—from the
artistic and cultural, to the technical and scientific, to employment and economic. Despite this
context of greater affluence in urban environments, everything points to the fact that, in coming
years, cities will continue to be home to populations in different gradients of poverty and
vulnerability (2).
FP7 GA n° 288594

All of the Region’s countries are undergoing various phases of epidemiological change. At the
regional level, data from 2007–2009 indicate that 76.4% of all deaths were caused by
noncommunicable diseases, 12.5% by communicable diseases, and 11.1% by external causes, with
variations from country to country. Infectious diseases like HIV-AIDS rates are stabilizing, but MDRTB is a concern in some countries. (2)
Each year 22,000 women die in childbirth and 400,000 children die before reaching their fifth
birthday in Latin America and the Caribbean. The poorest 20% of the population endures about
40% of the under-five child deaths. Child mortality is mainly due to preventable or treatable
conditions such as malnutrition and infectious and respiratory diseases. Low birth weight, asphyxia
and sepsis are responsible for 40% of neonatal deaths. Most maternal and neonatal deaths can be
prevented by improving prenatal and delivery care and improving the mother's nutrition and
health status. Simple interventions such as education on breastfeeding can save millions of infant
lives. In 2008, the vast majority of maternal deaths in LAC (over 35%) occurred in the least
educated quintile of the female population, while the most educated quintile accounted for fewer
than 10% of these deaths (2). Every year there are 1.2 million unplanned pregnancies in the
Region, 49% of which occur among adolescents. Prenatal-care coverage in LAC is not low, since
pregnant women receive an average of four to five checkups (9). However, these services are not
necessarily of good quality, which gives rise to one of the most flagrant expressions of inequity
and calls for devoting greater efforts to rectifying it. (2)
In Latin America and the Caribbean an estimated of 1.9 million people live with HIV-AIDS, with
generally low adult HIV- prevalence rats and with the spread of HIV occurring largely among men
who have sex with men or commercial health workers. In 2007, Latin America and the Caribbean
saw 140,000 new HIV infections and 63,000 AIDS-related deaths. The Caribbean has the world's
second highest adult HIV prevalence rate at 2-3%. Over 466,000 people have tuberculosis in Latin
America and the Caribbean, and over 50,000 die each year. While many countries in the region
have progression the fight against tuberculosis through immunizations and aggressive treatment
regimens, the fact that Brazil and Haiti, continue to report high burden of TB, and the emergence
of multidrug-resistance (MDR) tuberculosis in Peru, especially in urban colonies around Lima, point
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 7 of 163
to the importance of efforts to improve surveillance, laboratory testing and effective treatment
with first-line drug Information, education and communication programs are critical to preventing
HIV and reducing stigma, especially among high-risk populations. Tuberculosis affects the poorest
and most vulnerable groups: migrants, urban slum residents, prisoners and indigenous
populations. Early detection of tuberculosis and integrated screening and care for tuberculosis
along with HIV/AIDS is an effective way to treat both diseases.
Malaria remains endemic in 21 countries. Almost 90% of all cases reported in LAC originate in
endemic South American countries, especially among populations living close to the Amazon
Basin.
Some 250 million people in the Region suffer from chronic, noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs). In
2007, 3.9 million people died from CNCDs, 37% of whom were under age 70. Shared risk factors
for CNCDs are tobacco consumption, harmful use of alcohol, poor diet, and physical inactivity
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death from CNCDs Hypertension is a
shared risk factor for other chronic diseases. Of premature deaths from CVDs, 30% occur in the
poorest quintile, with only 13% corresponding to the richest quintile. Premature deaths from CVDs
are more frequent among men than among women and occur at the age of greatest productivity,
causing the greatest economic and social damage (2).
Between 140 and 180 million people in the Region live with some level of disability that limits their
personal capabilities and quality of life (2). The number of persons with disabilities is increasing
due to population growth, the aging of the population, and the rise of chronic diseases, as well as
the toll taken by accidents, disasters, acts of violence, poor eating habits, and substance abuse.
Blindness and visual impediments are frequently associated with poverty and marginalization.
Estimates indicate that in rural areas up to 88% of all cases of blindness are curable, as is the case
with cataracts where there has been no surgical intervention (2).
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 8 of 163
Cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cancer and diabetes account for two-thirds of all
deaths in the region. In Mexico, hospitalization for hypertension and diabetes alone cost more
than out-patient services for infectious diseases. Risk factors for chronic diseases such as
unhealthy diet and lack of exercise can be addressed through awareness raising and screening
programs.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, many people with diabetes have limited access to health care,
which means that indirect costs may exceed direct health care costs. The care of diabetes and
other noncommunicable diseases presents a challenge for most health care systems in Latin
America and the Caribbean. Some countries in the region are facing an increasing prevalence of
diabetes and other noncommunicable diseases, while still experiencing a high incidence of
communicable diseases. Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong, continuous medical
care. Health care services in developing countries are oriented to acute medical care (5-6) Medical
expenditures for people with diabetes are 2–3 times higher than for those not affected by
diabetes (3).
All these groups have needs and demands that need to be address. According to United Nations
Foundations, mobile communication offers effective means to bring inclusion services to
developing country citizens. Our work not only identified needs of the end-users but also collected
valuable information about the mobile solutions provided by actors inserted in a sociotechnological system driven by a value chain. We looked and asked for the needs of end-users and
then we searched/asked how these end-users think mobile technologies would satisfy those
needs.(4-5)
FP7 GA n° 288594

2. END-USERS NEEDS FOR INCLUSION
The definitions of the current needs for social inclusion were initially based on information from
two countries in LATAM, Peru and Brazil. Information from Colombia was included later. This
definition of “needs” was based and agreed upon core groups of disadvantaged social end-users,
considering those selected in the project as priority and strategic. End-users were discussed and
selected by all partners and categorized and defined as Target groups. Each target group was then
subdivided according to its own characteristic in subgroups or secondary groups.
The objective is to go in depth on needs evaluation and refine the first assessment for the main
needs of the four target groups addressed, made by the consortium in the project. This will be the
input for the end-users workshops and those discussions will set the direction for the discussions
in the technology workshops.
Identification of end-users needs for inclusion —is a document containing the analysis of current
needs of targeted End-Users, inserted in a socio-technological system driven by a value chain. The
data collected has been analyzed and these results will be used as initial inputs for the end-users
workshops aiming to create the End-users roadmap draft, after the workgroups interactions and is
presented in this document D4.1.
FP7 GA n° 288594

3. METHODOLOGY
Partners in the consortium reached an agreement on which specific subcategories within the four
objective groups are going to be considered “core” and which ones “secondary”, in the context of
the project the approach here is to identify and classify current needs for social inclusion based on
actual situation in LATAM countries for disadvantaged social groups, by considering the ones
participating in the project as priority and strategic end-users groups.
The objective of this task is to locate first-hand information, or original data, regarding the needs
of the prioritized groups of End Users. This should be undertaken by conducting interviews with
representatives of organizations from each of the prioritized groups of End Users. The interviews
should be conducted in the LATAM partners´ countries—i.e. Peru, Colombia and Brazil—in order
to compare results and identify cross-country similarities and differences regarding these needs.
The results of this search will be used as initial input for the end-users workshops to be developed
in the frame of the next task (Task 4.2).
3.1 Target groups or Core groups
(i)
Core Group 1: People with ongoing Physical- Structural Impairment.-
The first targeted group is People with disabilities, including people with activity limitations and
participation restrictions due to visual, hearing and mobility impairments. According to the World
Bank, there are at least 50 million disabled people in Latin America & the Caribbean. Smartphone’s
and tablets will be the main arena of health care strategies, as mobile technologies need to be
accessible especially for people with physical disability.
(ii)
Core Group 2: People with Non- Communicable or Persistent Communicable
Conditions.-
The second target groups are chronic patients, which include patients suffering chronic diseases
that usually are diseases of long duration and generally with slow progression such as chronic
respiratory, cardiovascular, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Using mobile
communication within health centers, patients will have the chance to maintain continuous
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 11 of 163
contact with nurses and doctors seeking to provide medical support networks that promote
healthy behavior changes that can reduce the risk of diseases.
(iii)
Core Group 3: People Living in Low Income Sectors.-
The third target groups are People from Low income sectors, including individuals or households
supported by an income that is below 2 USD/day. Within this group, M-Inclusion focuses on
maternity and early years of life, and youth education. Households belonging to poor and
excluded people acknowledge the importance of mobile phone use, especially in regards to the
perception of personal safety. The generation of wealth, creation of skilled employment, improved
productivity, economic stability and development of new services are increasing the contribution
of new technologies and telecommunications services in the various spheres of society and the
economy.
(iv)
Core Group 4: People Living in Isolated Areas.-
The fourth target group is People in isolated areas, or people living in settlements, often in rural
and/or wild regions, with poor communication with the central areas due to distance or physical
features. In most Latin American nations and especially those of large geographical extent— as
Peru Brazil and Colombia— outside the cities and areas of influence, there is lack of
telecommunications infrastructure.
The M-Inclusion partners of the research team identified the following core and secondary groups,
appearing in Table N° 1:

4.2 Andes: Main Ethnic Groups (Quechuas and Aymaras)
3. Low-income sectors
4. Isolated areas
Using this table as reference, LATAM partners identified organizations representing each of the 13
secondary groups and conducted a series of interviews with end-users’ representatives of these
organizations. In addition, partners researched information about these groups using electronic
sources. Each interview tries to compile opinions about needs, from specific target groups,
focusing each question on how the existing mobile technologies can be possible solutions to low
economic, geographic, educational and health gaps, and help reduce social exclusion.
Interviews were designed following a specific structure which defined dimensions of the value
chain:
•
Health needs
•
Education needs
•
Occupational needs
•
Psychological needs
•
Other social needs
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 13 of 163
For example, interviewers asked representatives to identify the existing health needs of their
members and to think about possible mobile solutions that can be used to reduce those needs.
Complete data of this search appears in the annexes. (Annex 1-5)
Regarding the needs assessment for the core groups and the sub-groups, we implemented a
methodology following the next steps:
1. To identify the core or target groups and their secondary groups (presented in Table 1,
above).
2. To propose a macro value chain and its three variations—health, education and
occupation.
3. To interview all secondary group of each core group by selecting one member of that
secondary group.
Thus for the thirteen selected sub-groups, we
1. prepared an interview guide,
2. identified an organization and a contact person within that organization,
3. interviewed them over either over the phone or by email, and
4. prepared a synthesis of each interview.
Additionally, and in order to strengthen the needs´ assessment, information about the secondary
groups was searched electronically using the following steps.
•
identified a search engine—e.g. GOOGLE
•
defined a search strategy—i.e. BOOLEAN search with the search terms exclusion,
inclusion, rights, services, technology, communication, education, health, and
•
selected five sources for each of the secondary groups—these sources showed relevant
information about the needs for inclusion of each group.
FP7 GA n° 288594

3.2 M-Inclusion Macro Value Chain
Further, with the objective of analyzing the current needs of targeted End-Users, we built a
strategy on the notion that target groups are inserted in a socio-technological system driven by a
value chain. This notion reflects the idea that we have to take into account certain actors of an
ecosystem in order to better assess the end-users’ needs.
Therefore, three variations of a macro value chain were considered, which are based on three
dimensions of needs:
•
Occupation
•
Education
•
Health
The actors in the value chain were classified into the following groups:
•
Regulators
•
Funders
•
Equipment Manufacturers
•
Content Providers
•
Application Developers
•
Developers Platform
•
Internet Providers
•
Operators of Mobile Services
•
Owners / Project Developers
We identified these actors in LATAM.
The intention of this search was not the exhaustive
mapping of all actors in the value chain M-Inclusion, but to provide an illustrative view to facilitate
the understanding of the proposed methodology.
The objective is to facilitating the understanding of how to organize value chains of M-Inclusion,
the needs of key actors to help them assess the end-users’ needs and to attend social inclusion
using mobile technology, and to guide the process of engagement of the actors identified as
potential collaborators and / or project participants.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 15 of 163
Additionally for the actors of ONE value chain with the three dimensions of health, education and
occupation we made a Boolean search: —Google—and an Academic search engine (e.g. Pubmed).
(See Annex 6 for results of this work)
3.3 Future Input for the Stakeholders Group
Results and conclusion of this report will be used as initial input for the end-users workshops
aiming to create the End-users roadmap draft, after the workgroups interactions.
In the frame of the project management, the SG will participate as an independent advisory body
providing complementary expertise to the consortium: the Advisory Board (AB).
For an operative approach to SG activities within M-Inclusion, the planned work for the SG has
been classified in future activities defined in Table N° 2.

4. RESULTS
In this document, we present the results collected, first in the Target end-user´s representatives,
then in the M- inclusion macro value chain mapping, afterwards the secondary analysis.from the
boolen GOOGLE search (Tables N°3-11), and finally the the interviews with the target groups and
subgroups of the three countries involved in M- inclusion. We present the results per country as
follow; Peru, Brasil, and Colombia.
In the interviews sections, interviews were based upon defined questionnaires orientated towards
occupational, health, educational, and psychological needs. Questions were also oriented in asking
about improving the use of mobile technology for solving their needs. All questions were validated
previously by the research team (Annex 1). Unfortunately, not all interviews were completed in all
the subgroups of the 4 groups from the 3 selected countries.
4.1 Target End-Users´ Representatives
Search for end-users’ needs revealed end-users’ representatives, programs, projects and/or public
policies in, Peru, Brazil and Colombia.

4.2 M-Inclusion Macro Value Chain Mapping
Boolean Google search for the M-inclusion Macro Value Chain mapping was completed for Peru
and Brasil. (Tables N° 6 -7)
PERU
As in other developing countries, the telecommunications infrastructure in Peru has improved
rapidly and Internet access is widely available. However, the use of information and
communication technology in health remains limited. Biomedical Informatics in Peru is in an
emerging phase. The ICT sector and the telecommunications market has increased substantially
over the last decade in Peru, leading to new challenges and opportunities (Table N°6). Still, we
could not identify hardware vendors, content providers, application developers, platform
developers nor operators)

The ICT and the telecommunications market in Brazil is quite extent and as we can see in Table N°
8 the infrastructure in the value chain covers the three main domains in health, education and
occupation where we could manage to identify several actors.
Comparing the actors of the three Brazilian value chains studied (Health, Education and
Occupation), it was demonstrated that actors of four of the nine categories are the same for all
the value chains, namely, hardware vendors, platform developers, internet providers and
operators. The main R&D funding agencies (CNPq and FINEP) have been also present in all the
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 21 of 163
three value chains. This suggests that those actors should be considered important stakeholders
since their transversal action along all the considered value chains can contribute to support
structural programs and projects such as open platforms for M-Inclusion applications.
We could not identify Content Providers through our search (Tables N° 7).

4.4 End-Users´ Interview Data Analysis
The questions used in the interviews are found in Annex 2. The whole set of interviews from the
target groups and subgroups from Peru, Brasil and Colombia can be found in Annexes 3.
Unfortunely not all countries completed the 13 interviews in all subgroups. Not all interviews were
completed in the same depth regarding the three dimensions mentioned in the previous
objectives. Still all the information recollected from secondary groups can give us a unique data
from these 3 LATAM countries.
A. PERU.A total of 13 interviews were completed in Peru, from the 4 target core groups and their subgroups. This means the goal was completed 100%. Although, not all three dimensions in the
interviews were completed in the same depth.
(i)
People with on-going physical/structural impairments.-
People with on-going physical/structural impairments tell us how much their condition of disability
affects them and impedes their ability to relate socially. To communicate socially, many times
they need to re learn processes. This affects them emotionally, many even having symptoms of
depression. The educational and emotional backup of the families is fundamental in these cases,
which also have to be informed and learn about new ways of communicating; whether through
the Braille in case of blind people or mute deaf language. Many times this leads to situations of
emotional and physical dependence, where self-esteem is affected.
People interviewed indicated that their greatest need is to learn how to be independent and to be
able to communicate better and socialized so they can be inserted in any type of work. They refer
that due to this condition of disability the unemployment rate is twice as in normal people. Their
request is for more psychological support and for greater social comprehension.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 29 of 163
If there is some degree of vision impairment, the help of special glasses and of books with large
fonts can facilitate this. It can also be helpful to have devices that help patients, such as software
for reading texts and books in Braille. In fact mobile technologies can be useful in helping solve
some needs surrounding chronic pathologies. It can also be helpful to have devices that help
patients, such as software for reading texts and books in Braille. These new technologies can help
with Braille information systems, oral Braille, laptops that use synthesis of voice (speaking
computer), devices related to the computer, systems that convert text to voice, systems of visual
recognition of characters, braille printers, speaking calculators, amplifiers of TV screens.
People interviewed at the Health care center V Lima- Ciudad, who are in charge of blind people
due to HIV/AIDS refer that patients, their families and health workers need is to create networks
between them for helping them improve education needs, appointments, treatments, counseling
and strengthening support between them.
People with Deafness and Hearing Impairment in Peru, refer that currently there is in existence a
new modern display that is connected to the computer and translates it into a form of Braille
language. Unfortunately this technology has very high costs, therefore, as far as they know the
more accessible technologies are intelligent telephones, which help communication without
needing an interpreter.
“What is needed for the blind and deaf are interpreters and specialists in dactylography; which
varies from country.” “Technologies would be useful for us, in order to help us insert socially, since
a lot of us find it difficult to communicate, since few people know our language”.
People with Disability at the Hipólito Unanue Hospital, Department of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation; a public state hospital; where usually a high number of people from low and
medium income sectors get attention; indicate their main statistical pathologies are
ostheoarticular and vertebral illness, carrying problems whilst employed and leading to
unemployment. These patients are usually refered from different parts of the country to get
attended for specific surgeries and they have to spend time in the hospital and in the city with
their families. Eventhough most of the costs are covered by the hospital; they have to pay, along
with the time of internship. Many patients get depressed because of their new condition. They
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 30 of 163
were poor when they arrive and they get back to their communities even poorer and with a
disability. Some go back and commite suicide.
New technologies would be able to help us in controlling pain; by measuring and monitoring the
patient, therefore giving him the correct treatment and dosis. Mobile technologies can help in
giving information and counseling to patients who have to be trained for a new life and need to
face a new reality, as supportive tools for emotional support and for rehabilitation appointments.
(ii)
People with non-communicable or persistent communicable conditions.-
ii.i From January 2013 to date, 246 children aged five have died of Chronic respiratory diseases,
mostly from asthma and pneumonia. These victims live in poor conditions in the Andean area
above the 3,500 meters sea level. They live in extreme conditions, far away from populated
communities, in permanent poverty and with chronic malnutrition and temperatures that arrive at
15 degrees below zero. These people are usually attended in the health posts by health
technicians, and if lucky by a trained nurse. Every so often medical campaigns with doctors will
arrive at geographically excluded areas, where patients get diagnosis and referral, children get
vaccines, and free treatments are given. Unfortunately; these measures are not sustainable, and
many people continue with unresolved conditions or in worst scenarios respiratory outbreaks
increases with high mortality rates.
One interviewer says:
“In case of emergencies, people need to be attended immediately”.
Technological innovations are changing the panorama on control and prevention of illnesses and
diseases. Extensive availability of mobile technology, even in less developed countries, constitutes
an exceptional opportunity to broaden the benefits of “ciberhealth”. Mobile technology can be a
tool in reaching communities and giving support to chronic patients living in extreme conditions.
i.ii People with cardiological diseases present not only one symptom of chronic disease; they have
several conditions that develop in time. Unfortunately health workers are not capable of informing
and maintaining patient’s adherence to treatment, leading to a loss of the patient. Therefore
many of them do not return back to their appointments, unless they feel really ill. “Many of the
patients are iliterate and have little education” There is no culture of prevention in the health care
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 31 of 163
system. Therefore, there is a need for the health care system to follow chronic patients and give
them better information, health standards, treatment and monitorising.
ESSALUD an extended social healthcare institution in Peru for low and middle income sectors; had
a pilot project with technological mobile systems at their Cardiological Service Unit. They had
telephone consultations. This project was withdrawn because the contract ended and was not
reinitiated. Nevertheless, they consider it was a very positive experience because mobile
technology can be used in helping patients with their appointments via the internet and in having
access to patient’s clinical history and viewing any pending results. With this system via mobile
technology, using a code, doctors in charge of the patient can have access to medical history via
internet, obviously respecting codes of ethics in order to secure their rights.
Another positive effect in using mobile technology is for creating support groups that can mantain
them informed and hopefully calm since at times their diagnosis is not very good.
ii.iii People with diabetes/hypertension need to maintain constant communication with their
doctors and nurses who can monitor them, control their secondary effects through treatment and
control their levels of glucose and hypertension. Through this system they can receive back and
forth information about their condition, serving to educate in diabetes and hypertension
prevention. Upon receiving constant information, they can deal with their chronic condition, since
their is a need for a certain degree of psychological support, especially considering that the vast
majority of patients are older adults and are found many times alone and living in conditions of
exclusion. Mobile Technology can be helpful in monitorising these patients, allowing for
appointments with their doctors and the necessary support.
ii.iv People with HIV-AIDS in Peru receive free treatment through the programme called TARGA.
There is a strong organization of people who give information and work along with government
organizations and the health minister for a multisectorial programme, especially to reduce stigma
and for better access to treatment. They intend to guarantee that the existing norms accomplish
access to medicines, reduction of stigma and discrimination, and the empowerment of people in
self-management.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 32 of 163
The organization called PROSA representing People living with HIV/AIDS whose mission is to
improve the quality of life and the respect of the rights of people with HIV, is interested in
incorporating informatics systems like mobile technology that can support their institutions by
establishing networks between users and health providers. Also by establishing better channels of
information via Internet and mobile phones related to social surveillance and political incidence. In
their opinion, this will bring better opportunities for HIV-AIDS patients, in reporting claims and
monitoring already existing concerns related to social and health topics. It will also help reduce
social stigma by strengthening social networks, improving educational access to information, and
supporting groups and counseling which are basic needs for reducing social exclusion and isolation
in HIV patients. Their major concern is to be includes and to share their experience, learning to
manage emotional aspects related to secondary effects of their condition as people living with
HIV/AIDS and the side effects caused by treatments.
PROSA has developed skills related to building and functioning of small and medium-size
companies (called “PyMes” in Peru). They consider that this idea can be developed even more and
can be used by more users. “The “users” can have access to technological tools that might help
them create small business. With these informatics techniques and mobile technology; users could
create a new telephone business and this would create social and job stability in their lives”.
ii.v .People living with persistent transmissible conditions of malaria and working people at
Hipolito UnanueHospital- National Hospital of Chanchamayo were interviewed. This Hospital is
located in an endemic area where the malaria is characterized as cyclical, seasonal and associated
to geographically and ecological tropical Amazon and Northern desert coast. “32% of the national
population is at risk to contract malaria”. Therefore educating the population is required. Mobile
technology can be helpful to surpass geographical barriers and communicate opportunely with
distant health centers.
Using technology to notify possible cases and of the presence of
mosquitoe larvae can help us avoid propagation. Technologies would be able to play an important
role giving constant information, educating, monitoring endemic areas, especially geographically
excluded communities. “Epidemiological surveillance can be done through telephone cellular”.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 33 of 163
ii.vi Peru is one of the countries with the highest rates of detection and treatment of tuberculosis,
eventhough in the last decades statistics for MDR-TB have increased, this has become a big
problem for the national public health system. Basically patients come from poor income sectors
and malnourish populations living in periurban hacinated areas. The national health system gives
free treatment by a Directed Observed Treatment (DOTS), supervised by nurses. Those patients
living with chronic conditions like tuberculosis are committed in having to take many tablets every
day for several months, in case they develop resistance this will be for years, and they can have
adverse reactions. In many cases patients will abandon treatment. Patients with tuberculosis
many times live in conditions of extreme poverty and they should abandon for a time their work
and they suffer from the stigma. Most patients have severe depressions and they begin to lie
about their condition to their family, living with them in their overcrowding houses infecting the
entire family group. These needs are difficult due to the scarce educational and cultural level. The
majority are informal, independent people dedicated to the sale of delicacies, papers or
handimen, etc. The basic needs for the health system are rapid diagnosis, good adherence to the
treatment; avoid depression due to stigma and increase information to the population. The mobile
technologies help the patient in adhere to treatment and diminish social stigma, supporting them
in counseling groups.
Goals seak the constant training of patients, teaching them about side effects in treatment, giving
them emotional support. DOTS should achieve more effective results and not have cases of X
MDR.
(iii)
People living in Low-income sectors.-
People living in low income sectors, have little access to many services, the deprivation of basic
human needs, which commonly include food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, health care and
education. Most Low income patients are undocumented, which exclude them even more from
the system, making them invisible to many social programs. Gaps in education, health which is
basically free, becomes very difficult to reach for this sector of people.
“There is a lack in 40% of the population to access to mobile technology, and it comes from low
income settings”. This goes hand in hand with a lack of educational opportunities, unsatisfied
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 34 of 163
demands in the student´s needs to be at the vanguard of times of their generation. People have
perceptions and they believe there is inequality in education, especially the young. Mobile
technology would be able to help expand the richness of a high-quality and fair education. This can
help for immediate access to internet software’s connected with the national data base system
and register undocumented people, facilitating burocratic processes that have excessive costs for
low income people.
“Chats are needed and virtual conferences that permit the exchange of strategies and also to
identify the tendencies and future needs; in which the students can develop their capacities”.
According to the “Sociedad Benefica Metropolitana de Lima” technologies should offer specific
strategies for attending programms for children, adolescents, pregnant women, young adult and
older adults living in extreme poverty with quality and efficacy. Through verbal or virtual contact,
in this case using telephone texting, follow ups, immediate diagnosis, counseling, physiological
support or information families can be informed and be introduced into a social program. If we
include the high percentage of excluded people, living as indigents, vulnerable, who have limited
access to health care, education, information, and create networks for including them via
telephone we can connect them and avoid exclusion.
For CEDETEP; an organization in charge of re-valuing the role and rights of women within families;
tell us that teenage mothers require special services for their emotional recovery and subsequent
re-integration into society. One way is monitoring pregnant women by sending text messages,
emails because most of the teen moms now have a cellular phone and access to the Internet.
These innovative technologies can help train teachers, student-leaders and fathers, within
educational centers in the prevention of teen-age pregnancy, within the frame of sexual
responsibility in values.
There is a special need in giving social support network, monitoring, and keeping records in their
appointments for teenage pregnancy and high risk pregnancy.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 35 of 163
(iv)
People living in Isolated areas.-
The Amazon Organization interviewed YINE YAME-CEPOXY YINE, they made clear that their
mission was to complete spiritual life for social and human development, based on the principles
of justice, reciprocity, equity, solidarity, innovation, respect and discipline. This is important to
point out, because indigenous communities are willing to accept changes to their culture.
Most of the amazon communities represented by this organization are excluded geographically
from health services; being accessible only by boats and by feet; taking them several hours or days
to arrive. There is a lack of knowledge about the indigenous health system, and the local health
system has no policy in promoting intercultural politics. There is a high prevalence of child
malnutrition, gastrointestinal and parasitic infections in the Amazon area. Reemergence of old and
new diseases in the communities are of importance in epidemiological vigillance. There is neither
promotion nor harnessing of the elderly knowledge about medicinal plants. There is no
appreciation for the work of midwives, or to be assisted, or in cases of emergencies, they can only
get help by helicopter. “If we had more technological help, distances would be shorter by using
cellular phones; yet there are no lines in these areas and we only have electricity a few hours or we
use an engine that generates electricity”.
For the last several decades, access to education has been the most important aspiration for all
natives in all of these communities, even for those located contacted and living in isolated areas.
In fact, the formation of communities in the Bajo Urubamba can be explained by the creation of
bilingual schools, which facilitates children´s daily access to the school. Still, there is presence of
non-indigenous teachers in indigenous primary schools. As a whole, indigenous communities lack
from enough human resources in different specialties. There are no education centers for superior
education that are decentralized and at the reach of the indigenous communities. There is little
promotion of policies for the development of Bilingual and Intercultural Education. Most of the
bilingual schools have only one teacher. In those schools located in distant communities, teachers
are not present through all educational time of the year. There is limited participation of
indigenous population in the State offices at the Educational administration. In general, there is a
poor quality in children´s education across all educational levels. The limited income of the parents
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 36 of 163
is one factor limiting youth´s access to superior education in the city. As, changes occur, so called
globalization, teachers who are sent to those areas lack of bilingual skills, and the ancient
knowledge is increasingly forgotten by the indigenous communities.
According to the organization the Government has taken away their indigenous territories and is
resistant in acknowledging it back or respecting international agreements. The organization
explains their actual sociopolitical situation: “We are the sector of extreme poverty in the country.
We have not developed awareness about financial self-sustainment. We strongly depend on
financial organizations, like NGO´s”. Another explanation is that some leaders do not inform or
disseminate information to their communities about the activities conducted by the local, regional
or national organizations.
There is limited access to any communication media (radio, newspapers, television, internet etc.),
even transportation for getting into their communities. The government lacks of any plan for
development of communication media for indigenous communities. Therefore, YINE YAMECEPOXY YINE decided to build a web site which includes a large number of communities of the
amazon basin in Peru. “We are stronger when we communicate; we are building a web portal,
which is the largest in Peru about the indigenous people; most of our social organizations are
linked within a network and we would like to develop an intranet with more technology for
informatics; and we are especially training our indigenous youth so that the work can be conducted
by ourselves”.
The Association of Andean communities of Ayacucho (Quechua and Aymaras) work with rural,
periurban and urban populations from the highlands of the province of Huanta, Ayacucho. They
represent remote communities located at 4,000 meters altitude of the Andes, living in extreme
poverty. They have experienced the internal violence of the country (1980-1992) and suffered
social and historical exclusion. Many migrated to the coast cities. The wild and rough geography of
the Andean area makes it difficult for accessing to technological communication. There are no
mobile services, like internet or cell phones, or any other telecommunication and for getting any
of these services people must travel two hours to the nearby communities. There is an increase of
the population over 65 years and foresees that in the following years Ayacucho will have a more
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 37 of 163
aged population, data that suggests there will be greater health services needs for chronic
illnesses in the older adults. Mobile technology is an opportunity for communities living in high
altitudes because this would help them reduce time in accessing to services and also for children
in receiving better educational training.
B. BRAZIL.In Brazil, a total of 6 interviews were achieved.
(i)
People with on-going physical/structural impairments.-
The visually impaired with or without other disabilities generally fall in the category of low-income
population are supported by social benefits. The social exclusion resulting from the scarce
resources have several limitations imposed by disability. The increased accessibility of visually
impaired to communication and access to information and knowledge certainly opens new
possibilities to get out of this condition of exclusion. The learning of new ways in communication
increases self-esteem, highlighting their ability and independence as they can communicate
without the help and mediation of third parties. Their basic needs are focuse in strengthening selfesteem and confidence of disabled people.
People with visual impairment and blindness in the INSTITUTO SÃO RAFAEL comment that being
able to use compatible phones, like softwares such as Portable Scanner Reader (SLEP), which
captures images and reads text to the user and has applications that can identify colors and money
bills is of absolute help for the blind community. Access to social networks via the Internet enables
communication, having long and constant conversations with other people anywhere in the world,
expanding their social skills. However the access depends on the possibility to purchase equipment
(phones, laptops, etc.), usually is more expensive when compatible softwares are available for the
blind and in native language.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 38 of 163
People with Deafness and Hearing Impairment in Brazil, sustain their needs are to be included as
in a globalized world through text messaging and in social network. It fortifies social life, with
relations within friends and family. People with impairment need tools for the inclusion. “We
need to learn to use these technologies. Teachers must be prepared to teach students with some
type of disability and include them”. Technologies help people put in better contact and relations
with the disabled. Needs are focused on improving better communication and mechanism of
integration.
(ii)
People with persistent communicable conditions, living with HIV/AIDS, (GRAPPA) in Brazil, indicate
that the main challenge with HIV patients is to focus in the stage of recovering the individual,
building a vital and on-going debate, targeting the best form of action to seek recovery of the
individual and their reintegration into society, in order to break the stigma and prejudice that still
exist. It is understood that this transformation process is gradual and in this sense it seeks
partnerships that can contribute to the effectiveness of these actions. Since its creation, GRAPPA
has been recognized by local public health agencies as an important entity in supporting minority
groups. Patients living with HIV / AIDS need to have a differentiated approach in health.
Technology helps a lot, because most live in other cities and the use of movile phones can help
schedule appointments and tests. Education is essential and technology is very important, since
many of them make online courses now to get more information and be in supportive groups.
Today users living with HIV-AIDS, despite any profession, suffer much prejudice and often end up
being excluded from the labor market. Everyone needs to be accompanied with counseling and
psychological support to be able to deal with their condition. Mobile technology is one way that
they use to look up and meet other testimonials from people who are experiencing it and are
facing reality of living with HIV- AIDS.
(iii)
People living in Low-income sectors.-
“Around 65% of the Brazilian population is digitally and technologically excluded”. This percentage
limits the access for any kind of information and reduces active participation. New technologies can
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 39 of 163
benefit professional for seeking better qualification. The Committee for Democratization for the
Amazonia believes that mobile technology can facilitate access to communities into networks and
consequently bring more empowerment for communities.
For people living in low income sectors, who have little access to many services and are
experiencing changes in their communities, mobile technology can facilitate their legitime concept
of health and care for nature, like reducing environmental impacts caused by disposable trash,
through the management and handling of residues. By sharing their knowledge they can return to
the productive chain saving natural resources, sharing Amazon natural values.
(iv)
People living in Isolated areas.-
For the Interdisciplinary Group for Social and Environmental Studies and Development of Social
Technologies in the Amazon; health needs faced by riverside communities are numerous, since the
health system does not cover effectively these communities due to lack of available goods and
services (medicines, equipment, health professionals, among others). Medical care is poor; there
are no health center, and limited access to medicines. Although in some cases there is a health
worker in the communities, lack of supplies, equipment and qualified personnel to provide
assistance or care for the simplest cases of illness become a serious problem. An alternative found
to substitute industrialized medicines is the traditional knowledge from these populations.
Medicinal plants, are used extensively in this region only for consumption by the community, and
are prescribed by those who know them well, being used for health problems from accidents to
tropical diseases like malaria, for example.
In the case of health, mobile technology can aid in relief (communication) and the agility of the
process of mobility both for the Public Health team in getting access to cities and for communities,
making easier diagnosis and treatment or even in the most serious cases for the displacement of the
sick to the city.
Mobile technologies can be an important tool for educational inclusion of the riverside communities
in the Amazon. Since riverside communities are located in remote areas, which hinders access to the
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 40 of 163
communications systems (telephone, cellular) as well as transportation. Due to the lack of means of
communication of greater amplitude (internet, cell phone, among others) riverside communities’
population from remote areas, themselves, mostly end up establishing social interaction restricted
to the site. Proving mobile technologies to riverside communities in the Amazon would enable the
community to establish means of communication with social workers from various parts of the
world, thus favouring greater social interaction and dialogue with other external social agents. It
would also favour more accessibility for training courses / instrumentation, information of local
interest, socio-political articulation, and commercial, among others. This would create new
possibilities for interaction and dissemination of local knowledge.
C. COLOMBIA.Unfortunately, the team only recollected one interview from Colombia.
(i)
People living with HIV/AIDS in Colombia have several difficulties because the vast majority of our
users seek alternatives for psychological advising, treatment, legal and health insurance and
support within the health system. Along with the HIV condition, it becomes very difficult and
lonely condition to live with. The chance in having access to a correct diagnosis, opportune service
and orientation for the patient and their families, it is a great challenge in reducing barriers found
in the health system. The barriers mentioned of poverty, discrimination, lack of information and
access to a good diagnosis or treatment are their major needs.
Therefore, information given by any kind of network constitutes mechanisms of appropriation of
information by the users, some include mobile resources of consultation set against different
pages of information, but others include the facility to access to information and confidentiality as
a tool that would facilitate time for users. The facilities that offer the mobile technologies are in
education by giving better access to pedagogical tools; help them get to know programmes of
development helping resolve their needs and reduce exclusion in this group of people.
FP7 GA n° 288594

5 DISCUSSION
5.1 The End-Users´ Needs for Inclusion
Interviews were completed in all core groups and subgroups from Peru. In Brasil we managed to
complete 6 interviews. Unfortunately in Colombia only one interview was completed. The Boolean
search was done through GOOGLE. This information helped to enrich information found in the
interviews. We must explain that; even though these three countries share similarities with other
LATAM countries (they have people living in low income sectors, some have people living in
isolated areas, people living with chronic diseases and impairments) it is not possible to
extrapolate these results to other countries of the region; because their socioeconomic, political
context and priorities in their needs of their population might differ. For example, Peru and Brasil
share the vast majority of indigenous populations in the Amazon area, Colombia has few Aymaras
and Quechua´s, but their needs are difficult to generalize for other countries of LATAM that do not
have indigenous ethnic groups. Although this information is not comparable, in some cases we
found similarities. Further studies with more representative groups in the LATAM area should be
incorporated.
Comparison with End-User Groups in Europe should be completed in a future analysis and will be
included in D4.3.
Using the information in the interviews and in the Boolean search for the END-USER NEEDS, we
see that for the first core group; People with on-going physical/structural impairments; their
needs are to find ways in learning to be independent and be able to communicate much better
and socialize. They need to insert in any type of work and take part of the new changes in society.
Their basic request is for more psychological support and for greater social comprehension and
integration; in terms of educational programs, health care systems, and occupational jobs that can
be offered to them.
Regarding technology, it will be useful for accessing to healthcare by communicating the system
with patients and in creating networks. These will create educational links to improve information
and will reduce social stigma in these group of people. Technology can be an affordable
economical solution for people with any disability. These new available programmes can serve as
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 42 of 163
tools for communication making them feel less dependent, more confident and integrated in a
changing modern society. The above perceptions were homogenous for both, Peru and Brazil.
In the second group of People with non-communicable or persistent communicable conditions;
interviews from all three LATAM countries were done from HIV-AIDS patients. All HIV-AIDS
patients in Peru, Brasil and Colombia have free access to treatment. HIV-AIDS communities of
affected people are becoming stronger organizations who work along with government
organizations and the health minister for a multisectorial program, especially to reduce stigma and
to for better access through treatment. Their general needs are to reduce social stigma by
strengthening social networks, improving educational access to information, and supporting
groups and counseling which are basic needs for reducing social exclusion and isolation in HIV
patients. Their major concern is to be included and to share their experiences, learning to manage
emotional aspects related to secondary effects of their condition as people living with HIV/AIDS
and the side effects caused by treatments. They all have similar concerns regarding education and
having more information for patients and family.
Mobile technologies offer them facilities like programs of development helping them resolve their
needs and probably reduce exclusion in this group of people. Regarding health needs; the chance
in having access to mobile technologies can give better access to correct diagnosis and coordinate
medical appointments. The opportune service and orientation for the patient and their families
can reduce barriers found in the health system. Mobile technology can establish permanent
communication demanded in this group of people. All this is related to social stigma and needs for
equal right inclusion in the HIV-AIDS patients.
For the other sub-groups of people living with a chronic condition, they all manifested to be
affected emotionally, socially, and sometimes even financially. The way people and their families
get affected by a chronic illness depends on the particular illness and its severity. How they deal
with new information, education, available treatments can help them deal with the chronicity of
their condition. These groups focused their needs in health education, defined as constant
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 43 of 163
training of the patient. They also mentioned the importance in the adherence to treatment related
to a good information and education of the patient and family. They also mentioned the need in
teaching about side effects in treatment, giving emotional support and reducing stigma due to
chronicity. If these mobile technologies seek to be helpful they should be in these areas
mentioned.
A particular case was that of malaria; where they mentioned their needs in improving control of
malaria. Movile texting can be a very useful tool for epidemiological surveillance, control of cases
and larvae growth along with education of the population.
In the third core group of People living in low income settings, their needs are in the lack of
access to basic human needs which commonly includes food, water, sanitation, health care and
education. Most Low income patients are indocumented, which exclude them even more from the
system, making them invisible to many social programs. Gaps in education, health which are
basically free, become very difficult to attend for this sector of people. Their demands focus
basically on these areas.
We managed to have interviews form Peru and Brazil. Even though in both countries the
interviewers come from extreme poverty and are socially excluded; in Peru they talked about the
need to be included in a formal system. This means to improve education, incorporate technology
so the young people education can have the same chance to compete with others in a modern
world. At the same time it will help them bring the “unknown or undocumented people” into
contact with the system, giving them certain “social, health and educational rights” and reduce
exclusion. Meanwhile in Brazil, the interviews correlate their needs with the chance in sharing
their culture, especially with their own particular concept of care in health in their communities,
such as reducing environmental impacts and saving natural resources.
When they were asked about the benefits in using technology their positions were as previously
mentioned.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 44 of 163
In the fourth core group of People living in isolated areas; both countries Peru and Brazil; have
communities in the Amazon. Their needs are focused in shortening the distance in education,
health, human rights, negotiation with governmental institutions and reduce geographical
exclusion.
Through better education, culture and bilingual education, traditional medicine
preserve, intercultural health services they can improve their conditions of living. What Indigenous
people from the Amazon are asking for, is to improve the sense of empowerment and strength in
negoting with institutions.
Technology can help them generate knowledge and improve research from the Amazon areas.
Mobile telephones are useful to reduce time in the access to health services and also for the
children in receiving better educational training, reducing discrimination felt by them.

5.2 The M-Inclusion Macro Value Chain in LATAM
Telecommunications infrastructure in developing countries has showed to improved rapidly
and Internet access is widely available. The ICT sector and the telecommunications market has
increased substantially over the last decade, leading to new challenges and opportunities.
However, the use of information and communication technology in health remains limited or is
still in an emerging phase.
Telecommunications infrastructure in Peru has improved rapidly and Internet access is widely
available. However, the use of information and communication technology in health remains
limited.
Biomedical Informatics in Peru is in an emerging phase. The ICT sector and the
telecommunications market has increased substantially over the last decade in Peru, leading to
new challenges and opportunities. Comparing the actors of the three value chains studied (Health,
Education and Occupation), Brazil demonstrated presence of four actors of the nine categories for
all the value chains, namely, hardware vendors, platform developers, internet providers and
operators. The main R&D funding agencies (CNPq and FINEP) have been also present in all the
three value chains. This suggests that those actors should be considered important stakeholders
since their transversal action along all the considered value chains can contribute to support
structural programs and projects such as open platforms for M-Inclusion applications.
In the m-Health Value Chain in Peru, it can be identified that the interventions to promote the
adoption of health information and communication technology tools, particularly with limited
resources patients, can be acceptable and feasible, and may be based on existing standards. In
the future, Mobile technology will have a greater role in caring for health in developed countries
and in countries in process of development. Education and training on information technology for
health professionals remains one of the challenges of public health. Lack of education in medical
informatics skills is evident among health professionals who have different levels of computing
skills.
Another conclusion from the value chain analysis is that existing initiatives should be considered as
the basis for M-Inclusion applications. For example, Brazil has a solid experience in the field of
distance learning aimed at higher education and the same knowledge and technologies that
support the existing courses could be applied to create new M-Education applications focused at
the population in isolated areas. It is important to notice that all the regulators of the searched
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 47 of 163
value chains have an active role formulating and implementing policies aimed at social inclusion
including the use of ICT to reduce vulnerability.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 48 of 163
6 CONCLUSIONS
Telecommunications infrastructure has improved rapidly in developing countries, and Internet
access is widely available. However, the use of information and communication technology still
remains a challenge. Referring to LATAM, we could not identify hardware vendors, content
providers, application developers, platform developers or operators. This can be a future
challenge for implementing informatics in target groups, especially when understanding and
focusing their special needs.
We consider that the END-USERS organisations have a clear understanding of their needs and the
benefits that can be brought by M-Inclusion applications. The needs in the targets groups are very
specific; going from the development of specific software’s for impaired people, through
educational needs, health needs, reducing geographical and economical barriers in poor settings,
reducing stigma in chronic conditions and creating networks for communication in a globalized
and constantly changing world. They ask for telecommunications as a right for accesing basic
services such as health, education and psychological support. However, although many were
supportive in the use of mobile solutions, their use remains very limited and cannot solve all the
structural problems that are behind the nature of the needs in the target groups.
As a brief summary:
Finally, we presented the following data in the D.4 document;
1. The search for the Target end-user´s representatives: Peru, Brazil and Colombia were
selected as LATAM countries.
2. The M- inclusion macro value chain mapping: Peru and Brazil was completed. Data from
Colombia is missing.
3. Secondary analysis from the Boolean GOOGLE search: These data strengthen the
interviews analysis.
4. The interviews with the target groups and subgroups of the three countries involved in Minclusion: A total of 20 interviews were done. 13 were from Peru who completed all
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 49 of 163
subgroups, 6 came from Brazil and 1 from Colombia. The subgroup of HIV- AIDS was the
only group that could be compared for the 3 countries. For Brazil and Peru, comparison
was made, for finding similarities or differences, for interviews of the subgroups of people
living with impairments, chronic diseases, low incomes and isolated areas. Unfortunately
not all interviews were answered in the same depth.
5. Results and conclusions of this report will be used as initial input for the end-users
workshops- D4.2- aiming to create the End-users roadmap draft-D4.3-, after the
workgroups interactions.
6. This deliverable D4.1—part of WP4 – is a starting point for the inputs for the end-usersthat will be helpful for the latter body analysis of data that will serve as the complete input
for D.5.1—the report on the M-Inclusion Benchmark.
Recommendations for future analysis
•
Complete the search for the Target end-user´s representatives for Colombia.
•
Complete the M- inclusion macro value chain mapping for Colombia and the gaps
in Peru.
•
If possible complete the interviews of the missing subgroups in Brasil and
Colombia.
•
Complete the data From Europe countries for further comparative analysis
between LATAM countries.
Open Questions
Based on the research shown in this document, we propose five key questions to be answered by
the stakeholders. The questions are the following:
•
As needs and demands are being identified overtime, will the needs of the target groups
become more specific? Do the stakeholders think new needs can appear?
•
Are the M- inclusion stakeholders able to satisfy End Users´ needs? For example, how can
M- inclusion actors of LATAM articulate available mobile technology to solve these needs?
•
Are the M- inclusion stakeholders aware of the End Users´ needs?
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 50 of 163
•
Can telecommunication emerge as possible solution, if so in what degree can they cover
the needs mentioned by the end-users in each sub-group?
•
Can we think of a telecommunication initiative as a correct proposal for a particular
setting and group of End Users? Are there more general telecommunication initiatives
that are appropriate for different settings and groups of End Users?

INTERVIEWS FROM PERU
1. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
1.1 People with visual impairment and blindness – Interview data
Name of Organization: CENTER FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE BLIND OF LIMA - Peru
MISSION: To contribute to the promotion and to supervise the wellbeing and constant
improvement of individuals with visual impairment, evaluating and developing their capacities, so
that that they can become leading actors of their own development and integration to the society.
Health needs
How can mobile technologies solve those needs?
• Pathologies related to diabetes
• Physical problems and of physical posture
• Low vision
• Hereditary diseases
• Hypertension
• Patients with alcoholic intoxication
• Elderly with blindness
• People with HIV/AIDS
• People dependent on insulin
The loss of vision makes people re-organize their lives and learn new ways of doing things. If there
is some degree of vision, the help with special glasses and of books with large fonts can facilitate
their living. It can also be helpful to have devices that help patients, such as software for reading
texts and books in Braille, to have the software updated in our computers; in fact mobile
technologies are very helpful in our institution because our main area of teaching is computer
sciences and informatics.
Educational needs
•
•
•
•
Orientation and mobility: Independence of movement with the help of a walking stick.
Communication: reading Braille, math calculations, writing, and public speaking.
Development of capacities and skills through projects and productive work.
We need more teachers of computer sciences and informatics, and to assemble computers
The technologies that would help would be Braille information systems, oral Braille, lap-tops that
use synthesis of voice (speaking computer), devices related to the computer, systems that convert
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 60 of 163
text to voice, systems of visual recognition of characters, Braille printers, speaking calculators,
amplifiers of TV screens.
The JAWS software, which ignores all graphic objects, helps to read the hyperlinks and the text in
an orderly fashion. Likewise, the access to emailing with Outlook Express is very quick and it
would be very helpful in our institution.
Occupational needs
•
•
•
•
•
When you leave, the labor market closes itself.
To sensitize the universities.
To train society.
Budgeting to improve the quality of life.
The telescopic glasses are impossible to access.
Psychological needs
If the person is born blind, he/she learns how to live with it and everything would depend on the
environment.
• To receive psychological support.
• To reinforce the social area and the recreational area.
• Self-esteem, they become irritable.
With technological support we can have direct contact to our patients because they only come to
the institution for their rehabilitation; we don´t have hospitalized patients.
Other social needs
• Living problems
• Problems associated with low income.
• Lack of dissemination of the skills they have
• Underemployment
• Unemployment rates affect them twice as other people.
The emotional part of it is fundamental; the process of learning is larger and the desire of
improvement is high.

Búsqueda y/o detección de personas sordociegas con el fin de integrarlas en la sociedad y mejorar
su calidad de vida.
La discriminación, las amistades disminuyen, la familia se aparta la sordera y a ceguera son
distintas es necesario para nosotros tener un intérprete.
En la actualidad hay un display que se conecta a la computadora y traduce en forma braille pero
son muy elevados los costos para adquirir este display.
Aún no tenemos conocimiento de cómo las tecnologías nos puedadn ayudar a menos que sean
teléfonos inteligentes.
ASOCIP es una asociación civil sin fines de lucro que agrupa a personas sordociegas y con
discapacidades asociadas, brinda servicios de formación educativa y ocupacional para personas
sordociegas y de capacitación para personas sin discapacidad.
Lo que más necesitamos los sordociegos son interpretes especialistas en dactilología lo cual varía
de país en país, pero básicamente es el mismo
La ayuda del CONADIS es casi nula así es que es muy difícil insertarse laboralmente sólo tenemos
recurso para hacer manualidades en papel y fisioterapia , collares para vender pero es muy difícil
el acceso al entorno y mucha competencia se necesita mayor difusión y capacitación.
Si hubiera tecnología que nos ayudaría necesitaríamos capacitación con intérpretes.
En nuestro país encontramos mucha indiferencia

Las tecnologías nos podrían ayudar a insertarnos socialmente ya que mucho de nosotros nos
encontramos aislados sin poder comunicarnos.

Las tecnologías podrían ayudarnos con el control del dolor, también medir este dolor con la
tecnología para poder monitorizar al paciente
Nuestros pacientes en su mayoría no cuentan con grado de instrucción.
Si estas tecnologías podrían ayudar en la capacitación del paciente y en apoyo psicológico.
Estas necesidades son difíciles por la escasa educación y nivel cultural, al perder un miembro ya

pacientes en condiciones de plena accesibilidad y de atención a la persona desde su concepción
hasta su muerte natural”
Perú enfrenta una oleada de infecciones respiratorias agudas (Iras), neumonía y gripe A (H1N1)
con medidas que asume el Ministerio de Salud (Minsa).
Los problemas respiratorios principalmente de origen infeccioso que afecta a las unidades de
intercambio gaseoso del pulmón es decir, los alveolos. Puede ser desde un grado leve que amerite
solamente antibióticos por vía oral y manejo en casa hasta ser muy serias al grado de amenazar la
vida siendo imprescindible el tratamiento en una terapia intensiva.
Las innovaciones tecnológicas están cambiando el panorama del control y la prevención de las
enfermedades. La amplia disponibilidad de la tecnología móvil, incluso en numerosos países
menos adelantados, constituye una oportunidad excepcional para difundir la utilización de la
cibersalud. Pero lo más importante sería ver la capacidad de los costos de esta tecnología.
Las Iras y la neumonía han cobrado desde enero pasado a la fecha 246 víctimas mortales, en su
mayoría menores de cinco años de edad que viven en las zonas alto andinas de la región sur por
encima de los 3.500 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
Los habitantes de esta zona viven en condiciones extremas, en comunidades alejadas de
centros poblados, en permanente pobreza y con desnutrición crónica y temperaturas que llegan
hasta los 15 grados bajo cero.
Este tipo de pacientes son los que vienen derivados a nuestro hospital para ser atendidos.
Es necesario tener en cuenta que una persona frente a la enfermedad presentará diferentes
respuestas emocionales según los momentos que atraviesa en relación a la enfermedad. Así por
ejemplo se pondrán en juego diferentes emociones tanto durante la evaluación diagnóstica, en la
información del diagnóstico a la persona afectada y su familia, como a lo largo del tratamiento, es
por ello que dejaran de trabajar y se convertirán en una carga familiar.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 71 of 163
El abordaje eficaz de las dolencias crónicas requiere necesariamente la incorporación de las
intervenciones psicológicas, así como la participación activa de la figura del psicólogo en los
sistemas sanitarios públicos.
Son pacientes de zonas alejados con escasos recursos.
Social
Educarlos y sensibilizarlos sobre su tratamiento y enfermedad.
El Minsa desplegó campañas de prevención como el envío de medicinas y abrigo a los habitantes
alto andinos, aunque la ayuda llega a "cuentagotas" y con retardo por las difíciles condiciones
geográficas y las lejanas distancias, a lomo de mula o mensajeros de centros poblados.
Las tecnologías nos ayudarían en la comunicación oportuna sobre prevención y promoción de la
salud.

2.4 People with persistent communicable conditions: HIV/AIDS – interview
Interviews: People living with HIV/AIDS - Peru
Name of Organization: ASSOCIATION—SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THE SELF-SUPPORT OF PEOPLE
LIVING WITH HIV/AIDS—PROSA.
Mission
We are an organization of People living with HIV/AIDS whose mission is to improve the quality of
life and the respect of the rights of people with HIV, by offering quality services with warmth,
developing capacities, promoting self-help and respect of human rights to strengthen the
community of people with HIV/AIDS. The work of PROSA is articulated with the community and
civil society, within a frame of gender equality and respect for diversity.
Health needs
The basic needs are:
•
To develop capacities about what it means to start living with HIV/AIDS
• The existence of public policies that promote and guarantee rights and access to health as
public policy
• To develop skills for social surveillance in order to enact citizenship within the frame of the
Peruvian state, guaranteeing the accomplishment of the existing norms in relation to access to
medicines, reducing stigma and discrimination, empowerment of the people in self-management,
etc.
• To incorporate informatics systems that allow the management of knowledge and the
improvement of information levels that would support the actions and institutional interventions.
Mobile technology can support our institutions by:
•
Establishing better lines of communication between users and health providers
• Establishing a better flow of information via Internet and mobile phones in actions related to
social surveillance and political incidence
• Opening opportunities to report claims and monitor already existing claims related to social
and health topics
• Reducing the level of working stress, resulting from the lack of social communication
mechanisms.
• Strengthening the social networks in which the institution and the users participate together
by demanding their needs and proposals.
Educational needs
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 77 of 163
The educational needs are related to the next items:
•
Self-management and management of the condition of being a Person living with HIV/AIDS.
•
Enacting citizenship within a frame of public health.
•
Human rights and demanding mechanisms
•
Access to treatment and medicine
• How to reduce the levels of stigma and discrimination associated with the condition of living
with HIV/AIDS
•
Enactment of citizenship within a frame of public health
Occupational needs
The occupational needs of the users of Prosa are:
• Development of skills related to the formation and functioning of small and medium-size
companies (called “PyMes” in Peru)
•
Development of skills related to the informatics of the current technology (too few use it)
With the use of technology, we could:
• Develop skills related to the formation of the small and medium size companies; the users
could have access to technological tools that would help them create small business.
• Use techniques about informatics and mobile technology; the users could create new
telephone businesses and this would create social and job stability in their lives.
Psychological needs
The psychological needs are the next ones:
•
Emotional support at the moment of leaning their HIV+ diagnostic
• To have spaces for group therapy and socialization with peers at the beginning of the process
of being a Person living with HIV/AIDS
•
Management skills for emotional, work and social stress
• To learn how to manage emotional aspects related to the secondary effects of medicine,
treatments, etc, which are related to the condition of being a Person living with HIV/AIDS

El problema principal es alimenticio y de infraestructura ya que viven en forma asinada.
Con la inclusión de la Estrategia Sanitaria Nacional de Tuberculosis en el PPR, se prevé fortalecer la
atención de las personas afectadas de Tuberculosis (La universalización progresiva de las Pruebas
de Sensibilidad, gratuidad de la radiográfica de tórax, despistaje y tratamiento de Diabetes/TB,
gratuidad de tomografía a los afectados TBMDR y TB-XDR y cirugía de tórax en estos afectados y
apoyo alimentario entre otros beneficios).
El Ministerio de Salud garantiza la gratuidad del tratamiento de la TB sensible, TB-MDR y TB-XDR.
Para este último se han incorporado recientemente nuevos medicamentos al petitorio nacional.
En resumen se han obtenido importantes logros en el control de la Tuberculosis quedando aun por
mejorar aspectos del diagnóstico, resolver el abandono al tratamiento e incrementar el arsenal
terapéutico para los casos de TB-XDR.
Depende mucho de la capacidad de los costos del aparato tecnológico ya que estamos hablando
de personas de bajos ingresos y si fuesen donados cómo garantizar que este paciente no venda el
aparato por eso habría que ver como sensibilizar a los pacientes.
Nuestros pacientes en su mayoría no cuentan con grado de instrucción es por ello más difícil
sensibilizarlos a pesar de que su tratamiento es gratuito.
Si estas tecnologías podrían ayudar en la capacitación del paciente y en apoyo psicológico
,emocional dándoles tranquilidad ya que este tratamiento hay que terminarlo para estar con salud
y ser dados de alta.
Estas necesidades son difíciles por la escasa educación y nivel cultural. La mayoría son personas
independientes dedicados a la venta de golosinas, periódicos, estibadores, etc.

La misión de la Oficina de Epidemiología y Salud Ambiental en Seguridad Ocupacional es:
Promover el cumplimiento con las normas y reglamentos de Salud, Seguridad Ocupacional y
Ambientales.
Servir de apoyo y de agente de cambio en el desarrollo de una actitud de prevención y pro activa
hacia la seguridad y salud del trabajador de salud.
La población asignada de malaria llega a este departamento de Infectología y Epidemiología de
todas partes del país.
La Malaria, conocida también como paludismo, es una enfermedad parasitaria producida por
protozoarios hemáticos del género Plasmoium y transmitida por la picadura de mosquitos hembra
del género Anopheles. Sólo cuatro especies del género Plasmodium (P vivax, P falciparum, P
malariae, P ovale) producen enfermedad en humanos.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 82 of 163
Importantísimo en la vigilancia prevención y control.
La malaria es endémica en el Perú y tiene un patrón definido caracterizado por ser cíclico y
estacional y estar asociado geográfica y ecológicamente a zonas tropicales amazónicas y desérticas
irrigadas de la costa norte. El 32% de la población nacional se encuentra en riesgo de contraer
malaria. Por tal motivo las necesidades educativas son importantes mediante tecnología móvil
podrías superar la barrera geográfica y comunicarnos oportunamente con los puestos y centros de
salud alejados.
El paciente una vez que es dado su diagnóstico se imposibilita de trabajar ya que debe ser
internado hasta terminar con su tratamiento
Utilizar la tecnología para avisar donde están las zonas de vigilancia de las larvas, evitando la
propagación verificar en dónde se encuentran los criaderos.
Social
Desde hace casi 4 décadas se observa un crecimiento progresivo de casos diagnosticados de
malaria en el Perú.
Los factores socioeconómicos tales como sistema de servicios de salud, vivienda, ocupación y
pobreza juegan un papel muy importante en la transmisión.
En general la alteración del medio ambiente hecha por el hombre (Construcción de represas, de
estanques, cambios de los cursos de agua, etc.) contribuye a la creación de nuevos habitad
larvales. En el Perú son ejemplos los sembríos de arroz en la costa norte y las piscigranjas en
zonas cercanas a Iquitos.
Las tecnologías podrían jugar un papel importante dando información constante, educando y
capacitando a la población teniendo en cuenta que las zonas endémicas son las más alejadas del
país como la Selva para mantenerlos monitorizados, dando consejos del cuidado de la forma de
transmisión.

Actions regarding the monitoring of moms in general, and those risking their re-integration to
society. Work with family, visits, personal documentation (most of teen mothers come from
provinces, and lack personal IDs).
Most of the patients are undocumented; the technologies could help us make errands at RENIEC
(personal identity office), keeping us in touch with it. We have Internet at the moment, but our
computers use Windows 97 and they are not updated so we cannot access the websites or even
receive documents attached to emails, because the system is not compatible with the current
version of the software. We can only make out-going phone calls to landlines where we rarely find
the teenagers or their families.

endemic diseases.
FP7 GA n° 288594

• Low quality of knowledge about the indigenous health system
• There is no state policy that promotes the indigenous health system
• There is a progressive increase of child malnutrition
• Prevalence of gastrointestinal infections and parasitoids in the Amazon area
• Emergence of new and unknown diseases in the communities
• There is neither promotion nor harnessing of the elderly knowledge about medicinal plants
• There is no appreciation for the work of midwives, or to be assisted, or in cases of
emergencies, they can only get help by helicopter. If we had more technological help, distances
would be shorter by using cellular phones; yet there are no lines in these areas and we only have
electricity a few hours or we use an engine that generates electricity.
Educational needs
• There are no education centres for superior education that are decentralized and at the reach
of the indigenous communities.
• There is little promotion of policies for the development of Bilingual and Intercultural
Education.
• There is presence of non-indigenous teachers in indigenous primary schools.
• Child malnutrition influences low school performance.
• The indigenous communities lack enough human resources in different specialties.
• Most of the bilingual schools have only one teacher.
• In those schools located in faraway communities, teachers do not meet all the teaching
periods for the year.
• There is limited indigenous participation in State offices in the Educational administration.
• Low quality of children´s education across all educational levels.
• The limited income of the parents is one factor limiting youth´s access to superior education
in the city.
• Low numbers of indigenous teachers with bilingual skills.
• Ancient knowledge is increasingly forgotten by the indigenous communities.
For the last several decades, access to education is the most important aspiration for all native
communities, even for those located in isolated areas. In fact, the formation of communities in
the Bajo Urubamba can be explained by the creation of the school, which facilitates children´s
daily access to the school.

•
There is a high rate of alcoholism due to lack of education
There is high promiscuity especially among the youth
There is a market for trading female children of our communities.
Other social needs
• The State assigns others the ownership of indigenous territories
• There are environmental NGOs that separate the woods from the nature of their inhabitants
• The state is resistant to acknowledging community reservations
• Limited communication between the organization and the population at its basis
• Some leaders do not inform or disseminate information to the communities about the
activities conducted by the local, regional or national organizations.
• Lack of access to communication media (radio, newspapers, television, etc.)
• Too few roads at the border areas.
• There is no access to Internet in the communities.
• Limited cargo and passenger transportation services to the border areas.
• Non-regular plane services to the border areas.
• The estate lacks a plan for the development of communication media for indigenous
communities.
We are stronger when we communicate; we are building a web portal, which is the largest in Peru
about the indigenous people; most of our social organizations are linked within a network and we
would like to develop an intranet with more technology for informatics; and we are especially
training our indigenous youth so that the work can be conducted by themselves.

INTERVIEWS FROM BRAZIL
1.1 People with visual impairment and blindness – Interview data
Name of the organization: INSTITUTO SÃO RAFAEL - Brazil
Mission: Educate, empower and rehabilitate people with visual impairment with or without other
limitations.
Health needs
How can mobile technology help address these needs?
The institution works with adults with recent vision loss and also to people with other forms of
disability, including mental retardation and dystrophy. In cases of acquired deficiency it is
necessary the work of a multidisciplinary team to support the disabled in the complicated process
of acceptance of disability and learning how to live with it. Work which extends to the family of
disabled that passes through the same process.
The use of technology, mobile or not, with voice features such as mobile phones, watches and
internet, to facilitate communication without barriers, has improved the process of accepting and
living with disabilities.
Educational needs
Ensure that the institutions and teachers are better prepared to work with people with visual
impairments. The major problem is how to access the content to be studied. Access to the
material that the teacher has available. The student will receive the study material in a timely
manner at the appropriate time to follow the lessons. This is difficult considering the demand of
material in Braille.
The possibility of access to the study material in digital format allows access in a timely manner.
The use of a pen-drive, a netbook with appropriate reading software allows the student to study
with mp3 files, access to digital books, increases the chances of access to knowledge and the
possibility of doing research.
But this requires that the visually impaired have access to appropriate technologies with software
for reading and knowledge to use them, which implies in a relatively high cost for a group, in
general, of low income people and also a greater investment in training the visually impaired to
use digital technologies (computer, internet, telephones, etc..).
What are the professional needs of the people in your organization? How can mobile technology
help address these needs?
There is a need to reduce barriers in seeking and access to job openings and also facilitate
communication within the work avoiding that a person is left aside. Most disabled people served
by the institution do not work and survive of receiving the Continuous Cash Benefit, BPC.
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 94 of 163
The use of mobile technologies in general opens up new possibilities for communication for the
disabled, both for accessing job openings as well as providing support for wellbeing in the
workplace.
Psychological needs
The handicapped targets of this institution’s work, generally, present very low self-esteem due to
their disability and dependency. Actions of multidisciplinary teams in the sense of empowerment
and increased self-esteem are fundamental.
The learning and use of mobile and digital technologies in general, by itself, increases self-esteem
of disabled people supported by this institution, highlighting their ability and independence as
they can communicate without the help and mediation of third parties.
Being able to use technologies such as cellular phone, address book, computer, and internet,
adapted for their needs, is above all a great help to strengthen self-esteem and confidence of
disabled people, in addition, to the independence enabled by these tools.
Social needs
The visually impaired with or without other disabilities generally fall in the category of low-income
population, supported by social benefits. The social exclusion resulting from the scarce resources
is magnified with the limitations imposed by disability. The increased accessibility of visually
impaired to communication and access to information and knowledge certainly opens new
possibilities to get out of this condition of risk of exclusion.
Access to mobile technologies makes the disabled feel included. Access to a compatible phone, to
software such as Portable Scanner Reader (SLEP), that captures images and reads text to the user
or applications to identify colors and money bills. Access to social networks via the Internet
enabling communication, long and constant conversations with people anywhere in the world,
dramatically increases the sociability of the disabled expanding their social resources in all aspects.
This access, however, depends on the possibility to purchase equipment (phones, laptops, etc.),
usually more expensive when compatible with existing software and applications tailored for the
blind and the availability of these in native language. Not forgetting the demand for training of
disabled people to use these technologies, very poorly attended, which reduces the positive
results it could produce.

2 CHRONIC PATIENTS
2.1 People with persistent communicable conditions: HIV/AIDS – interview data
People with persistent communicable conditions: HIV/AIDS - Interview data
Name of the organization: Grupo de Apoio e Prevenção aos Portadores da Aids (GRAPPA) - Brazil
Mission: The Support Group for Prevention and for Patients with AIDS (GRAPPA) is a civil,
philanthropic entity, recognized as municipal and state public utility, founded in 1992 with
headquarter in Montes Claros / MG. This city is a receiving pole for treatment of patients with STD
/ HIV / AIDS throughout the north of Minas. The GRAPPA is the unique institution in this region to
meet this population, with the aim of a prevention work oriented to decrease HIV / AIDS epidemic
in the region
Initially in its functions, the institution had as its goal the development of actions of an essentially
humanitarian and assistance. As the years passed, we noticed a change with regard to the
epidemiological profile, especially with the discovery of antiretrovirals. These changes
demonstrate the need to work the recovering of the individual, building a vital and ongoing
debate, targeting the best form of action to seek recovery of the individual and their reintegration
into society, in order to break the stigma and prejudice that still exist.
It is understood that this transformation process is gradual and in this sense it seeks partnerships
that can contribute to the effectiveness of these actions. Since its creation, the GRAPPA has been
recognized by local public health agencies as an important entity in support of minorities. Thus,
the entity has easy transit routing for necessary treatment in places of care when needed. We also
have ten beds for people with HIV / AIDS in the university hospital covenant with SUS. It has a
great partnership established with the State Health Department with the supply of condoms,

signed since 2004.
Health needs
Patients living with HIV / AIDS need to have a differentiated approach to health, because they are
more vulnerable to getting sick, so the need to be monthly followed by being infectologist.
The technology helps a lot, because most live in other cities and use the phone to schedule
appointments and tests.
Education needs
Like anyone else, not only for people living with HIV / AIDS, education is essential and technology
is very important, since many of them make online courses now.
Occupation needs
Today users living with AIDS, unfortunately despite profession, suffer much prejudice and often
end up being excluded from the labor market.
Psychological needs
Everyone needs to be accompanied by therapy to be able to deal with the disease.
Mobile technology is one way that they use to look up and meet other testimonials from people
who have experienced it and now can be adapted to reality
Social needs
Need to have a normal life and be respected, not judged and excluded.
Technology can work with the prejudice in the society in general.

Questions by Topics
TOPICS
Mission
The Inter-Ação Group (Interdisciplinary Group for Social and Environmental Studies and
Development of Social Technologies in the Amazon), created in January 2001, works in the
development of studies on social, environmental and organizational dynamics of populations of
the Amazon. This Group has been enabling the obtainment of technical, operational and scientific
expertise of the reality and actions developed with these communities whether urban or rural
areas, aiming at the creation of subsidies for the formulation of public policies in the region. It has
as a main premise “have knowledge to act, the continued construction of acting and appreciation
of creative and recreative capacity of social actors involved”. In this sense, as a group of university
research and extension, we have the following mission:
RESEARCH: Produce knowledge about the Amazonian reality to support the formulation of public
policies in the region, encouraging the formation of researchers, with ethics and respect for social
workers and the environment. The research aims: a) understand the dynamics of social agents and
their knowledge, b) systematic development of scientific-technical knowledge in conjunction with
popular wisdom.
SCOPE: To develop social educational activities based on an instructional and pedagogical dialogue
that values the knowledge and skills of social workers, in collective praxis, in dialectical exchange,
in an exchange of experience focused on the enrichment of all.
Health
What are the health needs of individuals your organization represents?
The health needs faced by riverside communities are numerous, since the health system does not
cover, effectively, these communities due to lack of available goods and services (medicines,
equipment, health professionals, among others) to meet demand presented by the local population.
Medical care is poor, there is no health center, and limited access to medicines. Although in some
cases there is a health worker in the communities, lack of supplies, equipment and qualified
personnel to provide assistance or care for the simplest cases of illness. In cases of serious diseases,
the major difficulty is the offset to the headquarters of the municipalities of Amazonas State.
An alternative found to substitute industrialized medicines is the traditional knowledge from these
populations. Medicinal plants, used extensively in this region only for consumption by the
community, are prescribed by those who know them well, being used for health problems from
accidents to tropical diseases like malaria, for example. Medicinal plants most used by domestic
groups in the community are lemon grass, elixir, peppermint, elderberry, holy grass, Boldo,
corama, Jambu, jucá, opossum-caá, sacaca, parsley, purple clover, vulture caá, among others.
There is even the experience of the Community Garden of Medicinal Plants for treatment and
preventive health care with more than 1,500 plants and 150 species, as well as the Community
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 99 of 163
Pharmacy with Medicinal Plants which provides guidance on the management of the herbs, health
care and seedlings to the surrounding communities, both are configured as Social Technologies.
a.
How could mobile technologies help solve these needs?
In the case of health, mobile technology can aid in relief (communication) and the agility of the
process of mobility both the Public Health team from the city, but also in the dialogue for the
displacement of the Community for treatment in the town, for the riverside population, in the
most serious cases, since the great difficulty encountered by these populations is the displacement
of the sick to the city, as well as in disease diagnosis.
Education
What are the educational needs of individuals your organization represents?
In the Amazon riverside communities access to education is characterized by limits and difficulties
arising from the scarcity of public policies in education focused on local reality. Among the
limitations and difficulties put to this population to access the education, stands out:
The absence of schools in communities, up to primary schooling, when available.
The difficult access to grades beyond primary school, due to the need of travelling to the
city.
The mismatch between school calendar and the need for development of productive
activities.
Remoteness between local reality and the knowledge disseminated in school as well as
teaching materials, whose content is not directed to local realities.
Among the many issues identified in the riverside population's access to school, there is the fact
that only primary level is offered, since the offering of further education is low compared with the
existing demand.
In this sense, despite the extensive list of difficulties the level of interest by the community for
further studies does not diminish. To achieve this households adopt numerous strategies that
often generate losses and family breakdown. Among these strategies is the displacement to the
city by the children, adolescents and young adults to attend school. Families do not have adequate
financial conditions to keep their children in another location and, moreover, have their
relationships weakened by the geographical distance.
b.
Mobile technologies can be an important tool for educational inclusion of the riverside
communities in the Amazon. From appropriate technologies, communities can have access to
school without having to travel to the headquarters of the municipality. In addition to enabling
learning materials focused on local reality.
Occupation
What are the occupational needs of individuals your organization represents?
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 100 of 163
Since riverside communities of the state are located in remote areas, which hinders access to the
communications systems (telephone, cellular) as well as transportation, since most commonly
used are Tail (motorized canoes) and small boats, rural producers struggle on the development of
their productive activities (fishing, harvesting, raising animals, handicrafts, agricultural production,
among others) mainly in the process of distribution and marketing of products. Most farmers
cannot sell their products continuously in the headquarters of the municipality or other
municipalities, since in addition to the high cost of transportation the communication system (for
many riverside communities in the region communication is accomplished by public phones and
local radio) is not always working effectively. The lack of access to such communication system
makes it impossible for producers to establish direct contact with buyers and traders in town, thus
leading producers to sell their products to middlemen, who in general do not pay for products at a
fair price, causing losses and harming the income of farmers.
Faced with this situation, the development of mobile technologies favor the farmers by
establishing direct and permanent contacts with buyers and traders in town and even in other
cities, states or countries, by creating more effective channels of communication. In addition to
marketing without the intermediation of middlemen, the farmers have greater possibility to trade
their products at a fair price and extend the possibilities of selling their products.
Psychological support
What are the psychological needs of individuals your organization represents?
Due to the lack of means of communication of greater amplitude (internet, cell phone, among
others) riverside communities’ population from remote areas, themselves, mostly end up
establishing social interaction restricted to the site. However, when these agents leave the social
community space for broader social spaces, which requires knowledge about the use of the
Internet and other means of communication, these social workers are having difficulty accessing
them, and to establish dialogue and social interaction that these means of communication allow.
This problem has a direct impact on the possibilities of access to information that is fundamental
to the development of the daily activities of the community.
c.
Proving mobile technologies to riverside communities in the Amazon would enable the community
to establish means of communication with social workers from various parts of the world, thus
favouring greater social interaction and dialogue with other external social agents. It would also
favour more accessibility to training courses / instrumentation, information of local interest, sociopolitical articulation, and commercial, among others. This would create new possibilities for
interaction and dissemination of local knowledge.
Social (other)
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 101 of 163
What are other social needs of individuals your organization represents?
In the conditions of access to social goods and services by many Amazonian communities prevails
the scarcity of basic services. In addition to those already mentioned, there is: energy, water,
housing, transport and technical assistance in the productive area.
Riverside communities in the Amazon often do not have sanitary infrastructure. The bathroom is
usually outside the house, just a hole in the ground, and with no running water. Hygiene
conditions of this room in particular, are poor, which sometimes aggravate health conditions.
Regarding energy, most communities are served by a power generator. The engine maintenance
often is left to the community. The residents themselves apportion fuel costs. The cost of this
energy is very high for these populations, which sets a very contradictory situation given that
Amazon has a large potential for hydropower production.
Regarding water, riverside communities commonly use water directly from the river for daily use
and consumption, captured without any treatment. rarely communities have piped water and,
according to reports from residents, the only form of water treatment is through the use of
hypochlorite, which is rejected by many from the community, due to the taste that it causes to the
liquid.
d.
Among the technologies to meet the demands related to access to social goods and services in the
Amazonian communities, there is need for developing a participatory way of the following:
In the area of energy, mobile technology can contribute to the production of solar energy by
supporting the study and the adaptation of this form of energy in the riverside communities so
that they may have access to low cost energy that does not generate financial and environmental
impacts and meets their needs in the household and other community facilities (flour house,
community center, schools, and others).
Regarding improving water distribution, mobile technology can help by supporting the
discimination in the means of communication for training / instrumentalization of riverside
communities and health workers through the most effective means of implementing the water
purification system by introducing the Water Treatment Kit for measuring the health conditions of
the water and to render them suitable for human consumption.
In relation to housing, mobile technology may support by providing training / instrumentalization
for the community for the creation of a Community Ecological Bricks Factory. It is worth noting
that this technology does not require burning of wood to cure, nor use cement to mount. It is
based on a hydrocure process, i.e., cured with water, thus preventing the use of nine trees for
every 1,000 bricks manufactured. Thus, in addition to being a technology less with environmental
impact and cost, the production of Eco bricks presents itself as a possible alternative for the
construction of housing in rural areas, since the use of wood is decreasing due to scarcity and
necessity of preserving it.
regarding the technical assistance in the production area, mobile technology can assist by creating
more effective means of communication for training / instruments to farmers for the production
of Agroecological Community Gardens and Nurseries. These technologies are based on the
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 102 of 163
sustainable management of native plants in the forest area and the supply of seedlings for the
surrounding communities allowing the preservation and dissemination of important native species
of Amazonian fauna, based on traditional knowledge.
In the area sanitary conditions the group proposes the production of community composting
toilets built with bricks ecological. Thus, mobile technology can contribute to a better
dissimination of training activities / instrumentation within the sanitary conditions of riverside
communities in which the Inter-Ação group promotes alternatives to the development of a
participatory structure that are linked to health, water processing and preparation of a Strategic
Plan on socio-environmental area, which may result in improved quality of life of the riverside
population.

técnico em informática, também noções de cidadania, valores e educação ambiental.
2. ¿Cuáles son las necesidades educativas de las personas de su organización
representa?
Cerca de 65% da população brasileira ainda se encontra digitalmente excluída, essa
exclusão limita o acesso a informação, tira o poder de mobilização e impede a participação
mais ativa das pessoas em suas comunidades. Outro grande problema refere-se a
empregrabilidade, é quase impossível conseguir um posto de trabalho hoje sem ter noções
básicas de informática.
No Amazonas não é diferente, muitos dos beneficiados chegam as nossas escolas
buscando qualificação profissional, nosso grande objetivo é oferecer as informações
técnicas necessárias, mas principalmente disseminar noções de cidadania, valores e
educação ambiental, para que o conhecimento técnico aliado aos demais possa ser
empregado em benefício do ambiente onde ele está inserido, para que possa servir de
alicerce à mobilizações e debates que trarão melhores condições de vida à comunidade.
3. ¿Cómo las tecnologías móviles ayudan a resolver estas necesidades?
Nas escolas oferecemos cursos de informática básica e avançada, mas muitas tem
dificuldade em acessar a internet, acredito que a tecnologia móvel poderia facilitar o acesso
das comunidades a rede e consequentemente trazer mais empoderamento.

Reduzir os impactos ambientais causados pelo descarte incorreto do lixo tecnológico,
através da gestão e tratamento de resíduos, fazendo com que estes possam retornar à

Além dos serviços de gestão de resíduos, investimos também em ações educativas
que tem o objetivo de disseminar o conceito. Realizamos anualmente duas campanhas
públicas de sensibilização e arrecadação, uma em junho durante a semana do meio

2. ¿Cuáles son las necesidades educativas de las personas de su organización
representa?
O grande desafio para todos que trabalham no segmento de reciclagem é o fator
cultural, as pessoas não tem o costume de descartar os seus resíduos de forma
adequada, não há preocupação em separar e reutilizar, o lixo é simplesmemte acumulado
e encaminhado para o aterro.
Para os resíduos tecnológicos não é diferente, é comum ver materiais que possuem
metais perigosos em sua composição como monitores, CPUs e teclados descartados de
qualquer forma.
Nesse cenário, a grande necessidade do público a que atendemos refere-se a
educação, a disseminar o conceito em maior amplitude e garantir que riscos como esse
sejam evitados.

La Liga Colombiana de Lucha contra el Sida, es una ONG que tiene como fin mejorar la calidad de
vida de las personas viviendo con VIH o con Sida, prevenir el avance de la epidemia y controlar sus
efectos sociales en la comunidad mediante programas de prevención, diagnóstico, atención y

La mayoría de nuestros usuarios se encuentran abocados a buscar alternativas de asesoría
psicológica, medica, jurídica y de aseguramiento en salud, además de la asesoría para la
realización de las pruebas voluntarias en la toma de muestras para VIH, WB Y OTRAS que
contribuyan al diagnóstico oportuno, como también de búsqueda activa de medicamentos,
algunos por falta de afiliación al sistema de salud y otros por negación en su aseguradora,
capacitación a profesionales de la salud y servicio de escucha y orientación para toda la
comunidad.
Realmente, solo se utilizan las redes sociales para convocatorias a proyectos, a participación de
las pruebas rápidas para iniciar la fase de diagnóstico en VIH y la utilización de fan page para
actualidad en vih y servicios.
Existen muchas necesidades frente a la prevención y promoción en la salud sexual y reproductiva,
enfocándose en comunidad en general, la idea es que se pueda llegar a todas las personas en
cuanto formación e información frente al tema del vih sida, actualmente existen altos índices de
analfabetismo, índices oscilan entre un 6.6% en las cabeceras municipales y un 21% en las zonas
rurales. En realidad todos sabemos que los índices son mayores, aunque de acuerdo a las cifras
oficiales pareciera que existe un cierto avance en la solución de la problemática del analfabetismo.
Pero la situación educativa se complica todavía más si abrimos el concepto de analfabetismo a
otros campos como el tecnológico e informativo o simplemente a la lectura de los mensajes que
circulan en nuestra sociedad a través de las imágenes, mediante los llamados mensajes o textos
icónicos. De hecho, un informe de la UNESCO de finales del 2002, sobre las metas establecidas en
el foro mundial sobre la educación, realizado en Dakar (Senegal), ubica a Colombia entre los países
con riesgo de no reducir a la mitad el número de analfabetas de aquí al 2015.
Sumado a ello, encontramos dinámicas sociales que permiten que la población femenina de
nuestro país se encuentre en total desventaja frente a la población masculina frente a la toma de
decisiones en su salud sexual y reproductiva; mitos, masculinidades entre otros, permiten que no
exista una equidad de género frente al tema de la sexualidad y la prevención.
Ya una vez diagnosticado el usuario encuentra barreras de acceso a la inclusión al sistema de
salud, temores, discriminación, señalamientos entre otros se constituye en principal obstáculo
para poder acceder a su servicio y a esto se le suma la problemática del sector salud y sus
deficiencias, algunos usuarios poca receptividad en el momento de la entrega de su diagnostico y
le permite crear vacios informativos por tanto , lo deseado es contar con guías o herramientas,
que permitan orientar paso a paso al usuario en el afrontar un diagnostico , manejo de la
información, confidencialidad entre otros.
Siempre la información de la red se constituye en mecanismos de apropiación de la información,
algunos contaran con recursos móviles de consulta frente a diferentes páginas de información,
FP7 GA n° 288594
Page 108 of 163
pero otros no cuentan con el recurso para la adquisición de los mecanismos móviles, la facilidad
del acceso a la información y la confidencialidad frente a la consulta seria una herramienta que
facilitaría la vida a nuestro usuarios.
Oportunidad y acceso a la información de punta, actual y de avanzada.
Bienestar social para las personas que trabajamos en vih / sida, generalmente la sobre carga
emocional que se vive es grande.
Estabilidad económica, ya que muchas de las organizaciones de las que trabajamos en Vih / sida,
son ONG que no cuentan con contratos laborales.
Recursos limitados, ya que estamos sujetos a los recursos de los proyectos que se ponen en
marcha.
Actualmente no contamos con tecnologías móviles a excepción de dispositivos BB, que facilitan
procesos de comunicación entre los usuarios internos y externos de LIGA SIDA, falta actualizar
algunos mecanismos de comunicación y adoptar nuevas tecnologías que permitan llegar a mas
usuarios que necesiten de nuestra intervención y asesorías.
Principalmente las relacionadas con bienestar social, hay sobre carga de emociones, estrés,
algunos episodios de depresión relacionados al manejo de la información o relación usuario-asesor
y sobretodo la frustración que se puede vivir por querer participar activamente en el desarrollo
de competencias educativas que permitan innovar en herramientas pedagógicas para el beneficio
de nuestra comunidad.
Pienso que la facilidad que brindan las tecnologías móviles, permitirían un mejor acceso a las
herramientas pedagógicas; mayor y mejor calidad de vida para los individuos de la y las
organizaciones que representamos, inclusión a programas de desarrollo, cajas de compensación,
programas pensados en y para ONGS
Inclusión laboral, facilidades para el acceso a una vida digna, vivienda, educación, transporte,

What health needs are presented and/or discussed
Are these needs addressed by mobile technology?
The mobile phone being the most current tools and greater use in the general population and in
addition, also in the hearing impaired. Deaf people use mobile phones for their communication
skills through short text messages called SMS. In our work also has included other mobile
messages that are called MMS (multimedia messages) in addition to the text that you can include
a picture or even a video. With this we obtain increasing information and improving
communication.
What educational needs are presented and/or discussed
The rise of information technology has also influenced teaching methods, allowing for greater
versatility aside in the presentation and access to content and, secondly, the promotion of
alternative media: Viewing and voice parameters speech, the automation of certain systems of
training or learning, the ability to perform and observe simulations of phenomena that was so far
only explained to the students through language; all these resources are very useful for all
students but they are especially for those who have limitations in understanding and / or
language skills.
What occupational needs are presented and/or discussed
These actions are intended by both Telefónica FIAPAS to promote and publicize the services and
technological advances that improve accessibility to information for people with hearing
disabilities, eliminating communication barriers and furthering independent living and integration.
What psychological needs are presented and/or discussed
None
What other social needs are presented and/or discussed
The general consideration of the specialized manufacturers that start as the Spanish company is
that the current mobile offer dominates the design against usability: it is becoming more
sophisticated and difficult to use, especially for people with special needs or any of disability. And
there are many: in Europe about 22.5 million people have hearing loss. In Spain there are
approximately one million people affected by hearing impairment of varying degree and kind.

Study on inclusion of people with special

controversial, some even advocating
segregation. Health professionals occupy a
prominent place, but some authors also value
activities outside the therapeutic setting. The
development of the diagnostic has been seen
paradoxically: treatment / labeling. Culture is
identified as having a central role. Still, people

Peruvian Law 27050, known as the "General Law of Persons with Disabilities," establishes a legal
regime of protection, health care, work, education, rehabilitation, social security and prevention
for the disabled to achieve their development through economic and social integration.

This is particularly relevant in the case of the working conditions of the disabled. In a national
consultation on the implementation of the rights of disabled conducted by the Special Committee
on Disability Studies, Congress of the Republic (CEEDIS) found that about 60% of disabled
respondents said they never fulfill their right to decent work, while 39% indicated that this
occurred only occasionally.

Telefonica, which currently participates in more than 80 telemedicine and telecare projects in nine
countries, has in this division of health, Intel and Cisco as technology partners.
Unlike the classic studies of discrimination in the case of PWD, it should be noted that the
presence of a disability can be related to loss of productivity; therefore these needs affect PCD
psychologically.
Among the applications, the unit of eHealth offers physicians working sessions and real-time
virtual and home telecare service for elderly and disabled who live alone or are at risk, which can
communicate with specialists in the form of a button medallion or bracelet.
Telefonica predicted that in 2020 13.5% of the world population -980 000 000 people-will be over
65 years, and 60% suffer chronic and degenerative diseases, and noted that the shortage of
specialists must take into account that they spend between one 30% and 50% of their time in
administrative activities not care.
In this sense, Telefonica praised the importance of greater integration of health networks and the
processes through ICT.

articulation of the actions of these two areas in
order to promote a better quality of life for this
population. Special Education has been constituted
based on a clinical or medical model, which was
predominant up to the 70s, taking afterwards its
own trajectory. Approaching this theme, the

Even without knowing it, probably many of us
have made telemedicine without realizing it. How
many times have we all been consulted on an
illness, a family member or friend over the phone
line? or how many problems we will share with a
colleague over the phone? Well, it's as simple as
solving certain remote medical questions via the
telephone line is also telemedicine. However,
today there are great possibilities in the field of
telecommunications and telematics. There are
many tools with which to make telemedicine
today. These tools have changed over time, but
the concept of telemedicine and tele-medicine
has not done so, defining it in practice as the
application of information technology and
telecommunications in order to provide good
medical care, continuing medical education or
health education, regardless of distance and
where you are, the patient medical history, the
clinician or the temporary variable.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-A new study by the System of Health Care of Veterans Affairs in Ann Arbor
and the University of Michigan indicates that mobile phones could help low-income patients
worldwide in the management of diabetes and other chronic diseases.
"The programs 'telehealth' have proved to be effective in a variety of contexts, but one of the
major constraints to the provision of these services in the developing world has been the lack
of infrastructure," said study lead author John D. Piette, a VA research scientist and professor
of internal medicine at the School of Medicine at the UM.
To test the researchers enrolled patients with diabetes at a clinic in a semi-rural area of
Honduras. Patients received weekly phone calls, automated, interactive, and the vast majority
said the program had helped them improve their management of diabetes and general health
care.

We wanted to show that it is possible to provide a high-tech program from UM to very
vulnerable patients with diabetes in Honduras with only the local cell phone service," said
Piette. The developing world faces a crisis of cardiovascular disease as the "fast food" spreads
everywhere and people move to urban centers and adopt modern lifestyle with less physical
activity. It is estimated that worldwide, the number of people with diabetes will rise from 285
million currently to about 439 million in 2030.

Set in a distant health center, very poor, where no Internet or a technician trained in interpreting
the patterns of cultures of the bacillus of tuberculosis, but the cell phone signal, Dr. Zimic Peralta
said that a technician may put the plate in the microscope and take a picture, which digitally
captures and then up the phone to transmit to the server, which performs the analysis, and in less
than a minute to get the result through a text message, a mail and a posting on a secure website.
He explained that to implement this system requires an inverted microscope trade costs between
5 and 10 thousand dollars, which is inaccessible in many cases.
Digital inverted microscope valued at $ 400. Therefore, the research team has developed an
inverted microscope and digital, valued at $ 400, which performs quite well as it has been recently

Health applications increasingly gaining ground in the growing world of smartphones and some of
these new proposals have the potential to improve diagnostic techniques and even access to care
in many parts of the world.
The application also is designed so that it is possible to use without great technical expertise,
namely by simply using a mobile, so as to send the device directly to the affected areas.
Therefore, the authors believe that increased global connectivity, specifically the presence of
wireless networks, allows distribution of images over the Internet from medical centers in the
affected regions in order to establish a rapid remote diagnosis of malaria with the possibility of
large-scale expansion.

This has been explained to the Service of Information and Science News (SINC), the researcher
Miguel Luengo-Oroz, promoter of this initiative, who say that this is a "simple" experiment with
which you can "explore for the first time opportunities they can offer collaborative games and
social networks in global health issues"

The application, they say, is accessible to anyone who can use a mobile phone. "This opens the
possibility of sending devices directly to the affected areas, and you do not need special training or

change'. Some of them are still students or recent graduates. According to the World Health
Organization, almost half the world population is at risk of contracting malaria. Without doubt, the
most affected continent is Africa, where the disease kills a child every 45 seconds.

Using the conceptual development of mobile

specific mobile technologies are suitable to support
the achievement of Education for All, in order to
understand which aspects work well and why they
do.
To speak properly on mobile phones, we must
handle the basics on this topic. We will describe in
simple terms of the various devices involved and how
they work. The first thing is to know that mobile
phones basically consist of two parts: A
communications network (or mobile network) and
terminals (or cell phones) that allow access to that
network.
For all this, it seems very logical that wireless
technologies are essential in education. Schools have
adapted to technological development and most
offer wireless network in their buildings so that
students can enjoy unlimited access. This technology
was introduced to improve the quality of life of
children and young people without realizing that you
can have the opposite effect that we seek, affecting
health.

Summary
Short description
PERUVIAN CELL
MENU WILL BE IN
QUECHUA AND
AYMARA
Mobile phones in Peru will have their menus in
Quechua and Aymara, the two most spoken
languages in the country after the Spanish to
facilitate communication of about 15% of the
population, reported Monday one of the
telecommunications operators. Peru has 29
million inhabitants, of whom 13% speak Quechua
communities in the Andes, which run north to
south, and 2% is reported in Aymara, specifically
in the southern highlands of the country.
One objective of this study was to analyze the
current state of education of the indigenous
population, according to results of the last
National Census Population and Housing 2007 and
the figures from other surveys of the National
Institute Statistics and Informatics (INEI) and the
Ministry of Education, to identify their educational
needs and make recommendations appropriate
policy and relevant.
In the framework of this international scientific
event, among the tens of seminars and working
groups based thematically and on academic
disciplines, took place the cultural and scientific
fact that we opened an unprecedented way to
knowledge. Organized by the Institute for the
Study of Culture and Technologic Indians (IECTA),
In Latin America there are several examples of
projects and programs that exploit the potential
of
technologies
of
information
and
communication technologies (ICTs) for poverty
reduction, trying to improve access for lowincome sectors of the markets, financial services,
government services local training and health.
Effective use of ICT in business, government and
education, has increasingly become an important
element of the ability of nations to participate in
the global economy and, therefore, is a key driver
of economic competitiveness. The ability to
integrate ICT meaningfully with social, educational
and economic is expressed in the concept
Readiness for the Networked World. The
preparation examines a variety of factors
including Network Access, Network Learning,
Networked Society, Networked Economy and

remote areas in countries of Latin America. The first pilot project has been held since September
2001 in the isolated Peruvian Alto Amazonas province, with the cooperation of the Catholic
University and the University of Peru Cayetano Heredia.
These new digital technologies have had an impact on all institutional areas of society and higher
education is no exception. The distance education and traditional classroom education, education
non-virtual and virtual, can now be articulated in a new environment of intense interaction
between actors involved in the process of teaching and learning and other processes of
institutions and education systems.
The information technologies have contributed to the development of force labour. To
successfully establish business to business relationships (business to business - B2B), it is essential
to have a skilled workforce, and content advertising network relevant. This gradually reduces
search costs, information and assessment for companies and their customers.
