N2Y4 Featured Project: FrontLineSMS:Medic

FrontlineSMS:Medic

Focused on very basic sms systems.   "The lowest common denominator".   In Malawi, 10% have internet access, 90% have mobile phone access, 93% of which are simple SIM based phones without data access.

Can do GIS modeling on things like disease outbreaks.   OpenMRS is an electronic medical record system, predominant system in the developing world but limited to being inside the clinic.   FrontLineMRS is the patch to this system to bring it to the village.  

Can do disease diagnostics with simple camera phones.

HopePhones.org - Can send in your phone and repurpose it for global health.  

"There are 2 basic models: monolithic(facebook,twitter,slavefree) then there is the viral grassroots based on replication"
