by the challenges that I've been that and methylation enjoy
and get to know each other and we can't wait to see what the actual
be in the developing world in particular there are a lot of areas that we hope
innovation have an impact on
absecon cue text on point we hope to solve these challenges
and will either result in solutions
for the various NGOs that second up all the stimulate the participants or even
and people have been watching to go do something new the and to really try
something new for the can
help mankind to brand new incubators
sitting in a room undertake the politics part medicines
and other broken equipment because there isn't anybody around his got the
capacity for the training to install and commission them
this is a very very common scene in low-resource settings throughout the
world
I work for Health Partners International we do health systems strengthening and
developing countries
we have a specialism in healthcare technology management
and the challenge today for the people here pays
to help us to use the resources that we have better to make them more accessible
to the people who need to use them
and to enable the people who do use them to
manage better with what they've got great use hovercraft to reach
the image below hovercraft get cases where no other vehicle can get t
pretty much so what we do is cases cases at a chance to text a
0 is to you develop a framework
or wave assessing more places of Getty
we know place you can get to you amino ways of doing it but we're looking at
find easy way setting everywhere at it again overlook people in regions
just because you know about them we have going date when not picky foundation own
international
and independent not-for-profit uk-based health charity
with the idea that trying to
make sites what the hell we have developed a toolkit
a framework and tool kit for conducting a health needs assessment
for birth defects and the challenge is to try and maximise its
uptake in India and how we go about this as a uk-based
a charity mean I have two children and
you know the impact I can have on their license huge
a.m. but here we talking about six million
children are born with a.m. the birth defect that is preventable treatable
or can be cured a.m. you know if you stop think that
having an impact on one child's life issued in nineteen doing that six
million times
if we can start to treat these children weaken
care for them hermit we can alter services so that where
where these conditions are preventable through folic acid supplementation
fortification of foods
for example your week we can have it a massive impact
you universal access and
private and secure patients the best is them
a portal for patients to and download
their medical records patience know best
challenge today was and looking ass
and Africa 25 percent have the
market there isn't yes connected it is not very good
because where an Internet company and and
but that s and 75 to 100 percent
our mobile licious and our challenge was
to look at the pros and cons have transforming
patients do best for an internet-based to
mobile-based something like mobile device key say
lives millions of lives 131
as really great in part this there's lots of people here with a late scratch
years let's finish tears
I learned a lot about other things going on in the area
and she scandal knowledge and also people cuts me into their head 104 says
quite kitty
its kind enable other people here basses webb says cuz sharing in gaining
knowledge from everybody
%um many and really really
them lovely to see also to different people
thinking about trying to solve and you know worldwide
problems very variant to phentermine
exciting by names Isaac
cheese guys medic all and happy
joining you today I meant to Isaac is terrific
really passionate guy but we had an additional challenge in our genes
because he's based in California
answer is for waited to get a very early in the morning for him proper spring
storm in session
and %uh so depleted a challenge prospers was appropriate because we were working
on mobile technologies or a little bit
interconnectedness through Skype and other technology was first set the scene
really well
so I all about three years ago with the idea
weekday use communication technologies to improve the health
underserved disconnected communities so the challenge we were given was burned
a weighty meekly identify patients army using the SIM card technology
medic mobile users in their projects medic mobile
is a company did work that works on using it since the communication
software to improve the delivery of health
in remote and disconnected areas want the really exciting applications that's
coming out that is what's called Mobile Healthcare
and health where with some massive mobile penetration in the developing
world
you can actually leverage these mobile phones to deliver and support
health care services me it for the money
play well I work and books abroad
am and the challenge that we set the Stephen eighth
to lick at innovative ways assessing the impact and books board
activities on health care workers patient
and health institutions at home and abroad
and lick it affected way to disseminating this or
have goggles concerns and haitian
the stalkers rooms ships for
time angles sectors the students have
and done tryin to you that the challenge that their
beavering away quite this early coming up with ballots ideas
as I I haven't thought of before I mean really looking forward to the outcome
I thought that the brainstorming is really good and brings together
different people with different expertise mean it from different areas
you know
we'll come from different places and yet
trying to look at common a common theme a common challenge
and says is playing different ideas into the mix until
balancing those ideas of of each other and says the pool
thought process worked well his dad is an anti
my really good there is no rude
she come up with some really good ideas were discussed kinda love what we've
already done in connecticut even
essentially a date with new ideas in Canada yeah i i think is gonna come up
with something really interesting in the sink citing
it's gonna happen at the end and hopefully something can actually use
because they did
basically don't be fooled
think it was guess I think they're related them idea said we would
definitely never have have a plant
being a bit stuck in no way said a.m.
and we give in the event giving them a few ideas to go away with and and they
really enthusiastic
princeton with the cool thing I
we've had lots a blissful in a pro's and con's
am and and we were hitting not Kong's
and so if it's about actually really really you know getting together again I
think and
them looking at the him issue much more closely
the idea is that the team now go away and outside is a
themselves too little bit back when research used alone
individual expertise a.m. at it hit
in ideas to to meet this challenge they then come back to the
buses Mentos I'm on Wednesday and
we then sought create a final eight a willing to take forward insult stopped
at
put together a presentation for so this time next week
well anti-israeli fighting price really excited
because the teams have been lacking during the week on these
global health challenges about to present they've reached just got five
minutes back strict five-minute
they're going to present to a panel for dat and their
winning team will get upright so the challenge is actually very complicated
in to get the message in ideas across inside that time frame
is actually quite a tricky thing to do is take squalid skill
we have a still in medical consulting
Mikey a bit nervous because I am the one
has to present its so I hope I can manage to do it in the short
time we we were given our ideas that the intent
back and builds up something in order to educate people about the sickness
so that this and does not happen good
yeah exactly yet to go to the communities
today I'm going to introduce you to them fast solutions that we have found for
the challenges that
I Health Partners International are facing when we
looked at it and we spoke with I'm into the first thing we
asked how was actually who is the target audience for this
most to be suggestions a very low cost i mean for example Lincoln Resources tab
existing website
I'm sure we can manage not for free for those remote communities that aren't
easily accessible
by traditional means at basically the services that can be provided to reach
these people
and that would otherwise not be reached I would be immense
on impact as the first out EE Uganda and you lord as you go
thank you I've been thinking about all that every single second all this week
so is really call I really each other the challenge
given to our limited well was to identify
approach for improving the accuracy efficiency
beach I V capture most importantly
feasible the girls tree called application serve going up there to do
the presentation I personally found terrified
all my always get nervous in front of crowds especially seeing how good some
of the other presentations where I was
nervous very nervous grade up but I am if so good we could rehearse really hard
with practiced a lot and we believe no idea so I hope that came through in the
final presentation
first %um 0 solution is to use fingerprint scanners
in conjunction with mobile phones as weighty uniquely identifying patients in
the field in remote and rural areas
the advantages of doing this is that it means that a single by metrics can
can identify person pull out their health records from previous visit
singer better continuity of care
you can potentially scans months been to Prince
send it via mobile phone and then getting SMS 30 seconds later saying this
child need to set around a diphtheria vaccinations
back improved vaccines reduce wastage and potentially save lives
beam and applause for critics like
been really a we're all really really pleased at his what in testing is just
getting the students from different sectors
different testing different things coming together they have really
produced
interesting innovative ideas when you see a networked PC love it
excitement love discussion about the ideas and you can see all these debates
going on afterwards
people connecting and people curfew calibration technique for it and that's
we
live in 24 is connecting people and showing people they can be there it is
fluent
if you know the right people and say tonight was nice to see people
chatting about their ideas and associate of business cards will think they can
see it
it's gonna be built on and in the future the way boa
and be it had a week 0
have happened a met my
okie its
on the iPhone
really excited maybe a little bit surprised up all some teams that
really good out there so I think we're very lucky to get it but a
yeah through really thrilled feeling really
really blood I'll with an exciting challenge
in good to be awarded with that if
capital open our hope
is that by bringing together people from different disciplines
we can find new ways to tackle some the health care issues facing
the world's most disadvantaged people what we want
if the fed to the impact say each have the talent is with Rio
and each of them was about people's lives in people's health
and if they're impacted by this challenge then
we will be very Keith did play
laughter he and on secretary
second /url
if we should we should let them know it
