Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the deadliest diseases among women. This is especially true in developing nations such as South Africa. As a response to the breast cancer epidemic, AstraZeneca established the Phakamisa health initiative. In this paper, research is proposed that could potentially aid AstraZeneca's Phakamisa program. The proposed research will be implemented in two phases. The first phase involves the development and implementation of a mobile health platform. The second phase consists of the creation of a simulation model which will be used to analyze and optimize the effectiveness of the Phakamisa program.
