Phone/Software Interface

The Nokia 5310 cell phone was chosen in particular for this pilot because it is compatible with Nokia PC Suite Interface, a software application for desktop/laptop computers that comes with the Nokia phone that allows users to perform a number of functions, including the ability to composer and send SMS texts to contacts. This allows Community Wellness workers to send multiple texts easily from their computer, without having to send texts from their phone one patient at a time.
