JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 7 ISSUE 2 SEPTEMBER 2018 51 Background: Despite the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV), many people in the United States have never been screened for these infections. Mobile phones could educate patients about screening recommendations and “nudge” them to request screening from their physicians. There is a need for studies to understand patients’ perspectives on this campaign strategy.
