MTHR - Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research

Publications

The MTHR Programme Management Committee (PMC) recognises that research results from work funded under the Programme will only achieve maximum scientific impact if published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Research teams are strongly encouraged to pursue this at the earliest opportunity. This page lists publications resulting from work funded under the Programme.

Once work has been fully published in the scientific literature full Final Reports will be made available.
