Networked Health Solutions
Mashavu (“chubby-cheeked” in Swahili) is a telemedicine system that connects medical professionals in developing countries with individuals living in rural areas. Using relatively simple yet innovative technology, Mashavu sends a patient’s medical history and vitals to a nurse, thus completing a process, which currently involves up to two days of travel and hospital wait, in less than twenty minutes. By bridging these geographical and social gaps, Mashavu provides dependable healthcare access to people in rural and impoverished areas in Kenya.
