Abstract
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a UN organization whose charter is to protect and improve the lives of children around the world. Maternal and child health are health-related areas where UNICEF has developed innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions in the general domain of mHealth in which text messages have been used to address particular health issues. We have used two UNICEF open source software packages, Rapid SMS and Rapid Pro, in tele-health projects in Nicaragua. In this paper we describe the implementation of these projects and the relative advantages/disadvantages of using these two software tools in implementing our solutions.
