Need or Problem Identified • Clinical knowledge is lacking in many parts p of developing countries, making diagnosis and treatment difficult • Patients travel long distances to clinicss - waiting for diagnosis and treatment is costly ($ and lives) • P Patient's i ' medical di l record d is i often f just j a simple i l card d which hi h can be b lost l or be b incomplete - no continuity of care • Finding patients for follow-up is difficult • Imaging difficult. Simple procedures could save many lives & $ (e.g. : cervical cancer, melanoma, ultrasound) Ima age © Rachel Hall-Clifford, Creative Commons License h http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/

Project Objective e and Description

The Technology • Collect data in field using only cellph hone (voice picture and medical record upload) (voice, • Assemble data over spotty connectio on at backend server • Alert expert review is required • Send SMS back to doctor/patient to inform of treatment

The Vision • To permit transmission of medical da ata and diagnostics over low bandwidth / spotty networks for exp pert review • To provide a data solution for trackin ng and contacting patients • To T train t i medical di l personnell • To provide semi-automated decision n support (train algorithms on databases to run on phone)

Expected Results, Im mpact on Community Philippines:

• Dermatology Screening (Images) • Prenatal screening for obstetric complications (Ultrasound Videos) pines • Pilot for deployment across Philipp and Southeast Asia ne • Moca team visits in March and Jun already scheduled Global Impact

• Code will be re-used re used by global hea alth community. community • Possibility to be adopted by Partne ers in Health and industrial ultrasound consortium as standard platform • Many partnerships with leading org ganizations already in place. • Strong team of advisors and indusstry who are involved and ready to work with you - MDs, programmerrs, engineers, business people

Technology y Guidelines • Android platform front-end with h medical decision tree software • OpenMRS backend server for media m review, quality assurance and medical records integration n • Packetization for low bandwidth h networks • General data upload system - voice, v images, videos, text, ECG ..? • Goal is to be scalable and reusa able for all media types in developing world health

How is the Proje ect Sustainable? • Uses open source software (An ndroid, Linux, OpenMRS) • Scalable technology for use by social entrepreneurs, w contribute back to the governments and NGOs who will codebase. codebase o nine months will create • Expected wins in the next six to sustainable t i bl funding f di through th h gra ants t th then service i supportt ffees

Moca as an Organization O Moca is an open source medical diagno ostics software incubator spun out of the Next Billion Network incubator. Moca manages g software code and intellectual property by a number of prrogrammers and experts to meet the needs of mobile telehealth. Moca's goal is to provide a platform th hat allows governments, governments NGOs and businesses to seamlessly deploy telehe ealth and semi-automated decision support at a low cost, without re-inven nting the wheel in each instance.
