This student project aims to investigate the appetite for and applicability of mobile technologies for the training and education, coaching, and professional development of frontline health workers. The fundamental research questions addressed with the research presented in this paper are twofold. First, what are the attitudes and perceptions of hospital-based frontline health workers toward the applicability of mobile technology for their training and education, coaching, and professional development? Second, do their attitudes and perceptions differ based on role, age, geography, current use of mobile technologies at work, or appetite toward mobile technology for personal use?
