PATH is a Seattle based NGO with the mission to “improve the health of people around the world by: advancing technologies, strengthening systems, and encouraging healthy behaviors”. Richard is spending his sabbatical working with PATH as part of their nascent effort in Health Information Systems. In this talk, he will provide an overview of projects that are underway. These include developing a device for communication with rural health clinics, using cell phones for tracking TB cases in Tanzania, building a software application for modeling national scale vaccine refrigeration capacity, and creating a framework for deriving requirements for global health information systems. Richard will also describe what he learned about the Nicaraguan public health system in a recent visit, focusing on how the existing information flows might be made more efficient with improved communication technologies.
