ClickDiagnostics addresses two main healthcare issues in developing countries: 1. Access to medical specialists in under-served regions; 2. Collection of real-time data for interventions in areas such as maternal mortality, cancer or AIDS.   

ClickDiagnostics connects health workers on the ground, via mobile phone software, to a central server. This model enables the following essential services:
1. Allow doctors on their own time to provide consultations which can later be relayed to the patient.
2. Gather data and upload the data whenever connectivity is available.
3. Convey automatic warnings or actions to field workers.
 

The back-end network is an open system which enables rapid deployment of any new health-related solution (created by ClickDiagnostics or by a third party) that involves mobile phone-based data gathering/dissemination, efficient communication among health-related stakeholders and distributed, centralized human or machine processing. 

ClickDiagnostics provides governments and NGOs an entire “health eco-system”, an end-to-end service chain, containing the following: 1) mobile phone software and inexpensive medical tools for local health-care agents, 2) web-based interface for remote specialists, 3) backend system for data routing, intelligent analysis, quality control and auto-flagging of health hazards, 4) network of “remote” medical specialists, and 5) service quality control through regular monitoring and supervision. 

By providing the technological eco-system, we enable local clinics and even micro-entrepreneurs to disseminate the model where it is needed most, allowing market forces to determine demand and speed growth throughout the developing world.

In addition:

In the first year of operation, our implementations and on-going initiatives include:

1. Mobile teledermatology for clinics and rural healthworkers to consult with local and international specialists

2. Health screening of women at risk to prevent maternal and infant mortality

3. Large-scale breast cancer screening through deployed government health workers

ClickDiagnostics has teamed up with key global players in the health space such as University of Pennsylvania’s Global Health Program and MIT’s Innovations in International Health to pilot and deploy solutions in developing countries, such as Botswana, Malawi, Egypt, Ghana and Bangladesh. For local-level implementation, ClickDiagnostics has partnered up with NGOs, health ministries and local clinics in these countries. Some of ClickDiagnostics’ operations are being supported by multi-national corporations and trade associations in the telecommunications industry.  

ClickDiagnostics’ potential for growth is immense both in the number of disease areas and in the number of countries that can use our platform.
