* This information is self-reported and updated annually

Educational health content customized per disease can be shared through the Connect For Life platform with the targeted patient population and this can impact the following SDG targets: SDG 3.3.1: Using the communication from Connect For Life, patients can be stimulated to adhere to their HIV medication intakes and in so doing reduce their risk of transmission to other non-infected individuals. Educational content can also be shared in a discrete fashion to ensure that risks of transmission are known. This educational content can be important for many HIV patient groups such as adolescents, MSM, HIV-infected pregnant women to help prevent transmission to sexual contacts and or to unborn babies. SDG 3.3.2: For TB patients adherence to medication for longer treatment periods is critical to achieve cure. Messages from Connect For Life can take the form of engaging, actionable instructions to help motivate individuals to adhere to therapy and thereby help them to reach care and preventing further transmission.

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Data in the system is being encrypted in transit (HTTPS TLS 1.3) as well as in rest, depending on the configuration (e.g. AES-256). Passwords are additionally encrypted following the OpenMRS standard via SHA-512. Access to the system is user based controlled with different roles and responsibilities that segregate administrators from the regular users. Our source code has been scanned prior to release to identify any security issues.
Content is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Any content shared with patients through Connect for Life™ is required in clinical study context to be approved by the relevant ethical committee(s) or health authorities. There is no advertising push from the system to patients nor is any non-approved content distributed via this channel. Connect for Life™ does not provide provide doctor’s advice. The system provides generic health information and nothing is customized at the individual patient level. Surveys can be delivered that allow for the patient to provide information. These questionnaires are also subjected to approval by the relevant ethical committee(s) or health authorities and are offered as multiple-choice answers without the option of adding free text. Other types of content collected and stored are: language preference of the user, adherence to visit schedule (in context of attendance at clinic for a study protocol schedule), whether end user has picked up their phone or not. These adherence data can be processed in an anonymized fashion for analysis purposes.
