sana-mit open source apps
DESCRIPTION
The heart of the organization is an open-source, cellphone-based platform that captures, transmits, and stores complex medical data (e.g. images, videos, physiologic signals such as ECG, EEG and otoacoustic emission responses, etc.) as well as other pertinent demographic and clinical information. Sana’s ultimate mission is to end a mentality of paternalism in health system interventions that feeds and sustains a culture of dependency. The goal therefore is to encourage and guide partners on how to design and implement information systems to improve quality of care, while learning from these partners and establishing best practices in capacity building. Sana’s partners are active participants in the co-creation of health systems design at the highest level.TRANSCRIPT
