艾滋病毒感染者护理的关键是关于抗逆转录病毒药物使用情况、他们对药物的反应和额外需求的有效数据。Cell-Life对手机技术的改造提供了一种易于使用的数据采集装置，供治疗顾问（家庭护理人员）使用。在两个时间点（相隔六个月），对使用该技术的所有辅导员进行了个人深入访谈。这项技术被发现很容易使用，特别是对于那些以前使用手机的人。它大大简化了数据收集，减少了对丢失笔记的担忧。两组访谈之间的技术改进显示了Cell-Life对技术用户的反应。患者对这项技术的反应也很好，认为它改善了他们的治疗。家庭护理人员的主要担忧是由于拥有手机而导致的犯罪风险，这导致治疗顾问最终在访问患者并在稍后输入数据时将手机留在家中。虽然护理人员最初认为这项技术是对他们生活的入侵，但他们后来适应了它。
Key to the care of people living with HIV is effective data on use of ARVs, their responses to the medication and additional needs. An adaptation of cellphone technology by Cell-Life provides an easy-to-use data capturing devise for use by therapeutic counsellors ( home based carers). Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with all the counsellors using the technology at two points in time, six months apart. The technology was found to be easy to use, especially for those who had previously used a cellphone. It eased data collection considerably and reduced fears around loosing notes. Improvements in technology between the two sets of interviews showed responsiveness from Cell-Life to the users of the technology. The patients also responded well to the technology, feeling that it improved their treatment. The major concern for home-based carers was the risk of crime due to having a cellphone, which led to the therapeutic counsellors eventually leaving the cellphones at home when visiting patients and entering the data at a later point. While the carers initially felt that the technology was an intrusion in their lives they later adapted to it.
