mPallCare is a digital health platform designed to support palliative care providers across Africa. Developed by the University of Leeds in partnership with the African Palliative Care Association and MRT IT Peaks Limited, mPallCare enables care teams to track patient symptoms, concerns, and clinical data through a mobile application and web-based dashboard.
How mPallCare Works
- The mobile application allows patients and healthcare workers to record symptoms and concerns using validated tools such as the APCA Palliative Outcome Scale and the Distress Thermometer.
- The clinical dashboard enables care teams to review individual patient reports and aggregated symptom data to enhance care management.
- The platform provides policymakers with insights into palliative care needs across participating sites.
