William Jefferson Clinton TED Prize Wish Update

to use the mobile handsets in remote areas to

acquire detailed information about patients. The MobiSUS developers

worked to make the software and the devices easy to teach and easy to

learn, allowing native health care workers to maintain relationships

with their patients while collecting data efficiently. MobiSUS will

eliminate the need for paperwork as well as multiple steps of data

entry. The data can be sent over wifi, GPRS, bluetooth, or USB cable

directly from the phone to the database. The software serves as an

empowering tool for health care workers, and as a sustainable system

for the nation. Nokia plans to be directly involved with the initial

implementation and training, as well as the adapting of the software

to meet the specific needs of the Rwandan healthcare system.

-- Sun Microsystems, in its third year of support of a TED Prize winner,

is working to build the computer network infrastructure needed for the

"Centers of Excellence." Serving as models and training centers, these

"Centers of Excellence" will enable the expansion of the current

Rwanda Rural Healthcare Project and electronic medical record system

into the four Rwandan Provinces. Sun's ultimate goal is to create a

reference site for the adoption of open source computer network

technologies throughout the developing world.

"The TED Prize is an award that leverages the power of collaboration," says Amy Novogratz, Director of the TED Prize. "Sun, Nokia and AMD have each made extraordinary contributions that will make a measurable impact on access to healthcare for millions. We are grateful for their support."
