Abstract: 

The Health Impact Fund (HIF) is a proposal designed to incentivize pharmaceutical innovation by rewarding the development of new medicines in proportion to their health impact. The health care sector is plagued by wastage and poor governance, especially in developing countries. The MHIF system is a mobile payment and data collection system designed to enhance transparency and accountability, whilst improving the quality of data available for impact assessment. It also provides a platform for reporting misuse and abuse. The system is designed to mitigate some of the deployment challenges of the HIF and to act as a springboard for further expansion into broader mobile health (MHealth) solutions.
