FLSMS:Medic @ GlobeMed 2009

globemedLucky and I are getting ready for an early morning flight to Chicago.  Where are we going, you might ask?  The GlobeMed 2009 Global Health Summit!  The conference is being held at Northwestern University and will draw brilliant university students from around the country to engage in discussion with global health leaders.  This year’s theme is From Idea to Implementation: Securing Health as a Human Right.  Lucky and I will be giving a talk on FrontlineSMS:Medic and leading a breakout session on Friday (the full speaker list is here), so I’ll be sure to pass on the details sometime next week.  Until then, we’re off to the windy city!

      There are only a few things I enjoy more than solving interesting, intractable problems using cool technology. One of them is sharing appropriate technologies in a way that enables people all over the world to solve their own problems. This focus on tools for the world, rather than “solutions” for a small client list, is [...]
