“…Some mechanisms through which medical services have been improved include: laboratory tests, medical recording and access to material of reference. Accordingly, medical devices are growingly being adapted for, inter alia: better treatment and observation of tuberculosis patients (Hoffman et al, 2010); improved tailored feedback due to enhanced self-monitoring (Bauer et al, 2010) and efficient management of clinical appointments (De Costa et al, 2010). According to Kliner et al (2013), communities in rural areas are benefiting most from health-oriented mobile applications.…”

“…Channels through which health services are improved include: access to laboratory test, medical record and reference material. It is in this light that mobile applications are increasingly being adapted for: better tailored feedbacks owing to improved self-monitoring (Bauer et al 2010); enhanced treatment and observations of patients with tuberculosis (Hoffman et al 2010) and clinical appointments (Da Costa et al 2010). Communities in rural areas have been documented to be among the greatest beneficiaries of health-oriented mobile applications (Kliner et al 2013), a position that is in line with the conclusions of Kirui et al (2013) on the absolute pro-poor features of mobile phones/banking in these communities: 'We conclude that mobile phone-based money transfer services in rural areas help to resolve a market failure that farmers face; access to financial services' (141).…”

This study assesses human development thresholds at which mobile banking mitigates poverty and inequality in 93 developing countries for the year 2011. Mobile banking entails: 'mobile used to pay bills' and 'mobile used to receive/send money', while the modifying policy indicator is the human development index (HDI). The empirical evidence is based on interactive quantile regressions. A summary of the findings shows that with increasing human development: (i) 'mobiles used to pay bills' contribute to reducing inequality in countries at the bottom and top ends of the inequality distribution, while (ii) 'mobiles used to receive/send money' have an appealing role in promoting inclusive development in all poverty distributions, with the exception of the top-end or 90 th decile. The modifying thresholds of the HDI vary from 0.542 to 0.632 and 0.333 to 0.705 in inequality and poverty specifications, respectively. The relevance of the findings is discussed in light of the current transition from Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Goals.

Despite the evolving literature on the development benefits of mobile phones, we still know The former has three main implications. First, there are increasing positive benefits in regulation quality, human development, foreign investment, education, urban population density and internet penetration. Second, there is evidence of decreasing positive effects from patent applications. Third, increasing negative impacts are established for foreign aid and return on equity. Non-threshold tendencies are discussed. Policy implications are also covered with emphasis on policy syndromes to enhance more targeted implications for worst performing nations.
