Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are revolutionizing the power of information technology:
Call it hope in a briefcase.
In the event of a major natural or man-made disaster, a region's or even an entire country's communications system can be knocked out. For first-response relief workers this means no ability to coordinate the crucial early efforts to save lives. But these days, the first wave of relief workers arrive with a 4lb briefcase that sets up in twenty minutes to become a fully operative, solar powered, internet-based command center, ready to transmit voice, data and pictures to the rest of the field team and the rest of the world.

Discurso rápido
The youth of today are the leaders and changers of tomorrow. If we have a problem today, we can work to change it now but for a sustainable impact, we have to prepare Malawi's farmers and leaders of tomorrow. Education must enable these teenagers to value their world and provide a healthy future.
Problema
Everyone in Malawi grows maize anywhere they can! However, traditional methods do not yield the best crops and the flour only provides limited nutrition for the nation. Change is sniffled due to a lack of education as many teachers have not been upgraded to learn about new farming methods and healthy eating and living is only broached upon in the current curriculum. The climate and seasons are changing and other food sources must be encouraged.
Solución
Our vision is to create a bank of resources mapped to the Malawi Agriculture Syllabus that highlight good farming practices, balance nutrition and healthy lifestyles.Most students are expected to study this subject at secondary school. The resources would be electronic with animations and videos created in-country by a dedicated team of staff over two years. There would be sixty lessons of content supported by lesson plans and activities.
Resources alone are not sufficient to make a difference and therefore we would distribute these on our learning network website and via USB/CD/DVD to schools at professional development sessions for Agricultural Teachers. The teachers would be empowered and resourced to train Malawi's Youth of today.
Ejemplo
Jacaranda School for Orphans had a small number of computers until last August. In September 2012, they received 20 laptops donated by Microsoft as part of the MLP Project and their computers were networked and linked our learning intranet. The computers were only used for learning to type before the new connection but now they are able to access a range of resources.
In a recent visit, We gave them access to interactive games to learn English from the British Council and electronic books donated by Polarfish Interactive and the students started using the computers to learn other things than ICT. The MLP platform can now give them access to resources for a range of subjects related to the Malawi curriculum.
Impacto
So far, we have been able to create a small network of ten schools which have been connected but we have not yet been able to provide the training and support levels that we want to provide or create the custom learning content that will impact Malawi.
Over 3 years, we aim to employ and train a team of Malawians, one project manager, a network manager and one training/support worker for every twenty schools. This will provide training and quality resources to a minimum of 2000 teachers in 200 schools with over 400,000 students, empowering girls & boys.
We aim to create an electronic curriculum that provides sets of lessons for the full range of MSCE subjects, including Agriculture, Nutrition and Healthy Living. Not only will these resources be available to connected schools but can be distributed on USB, CD and DVD to be used by teachers, students and adults at learning centres.
Mercado
In Malawi, there are a few charities and organizations who provide computers for schools, including Computers for Malawian Schools and organisations such as Rotary. There are also many ICT firms but very little curriculum development.
MLP is different: Our slogan is Connect > Communicate > Collaborate. With partners, we connect schools, install equipment and develop learning tools. However, we empower teachers and students with training + support visits and develop resources in partnership with teachers to match the curriculum of Malawi. We link ICT classrooms to form a learning network!
Plan de Sustentabilidad
MLP is applying for grants to create resources as well as establish the larger project. We aim to become sustainable by expanding our teacher training, ICT support and supply services, web and e-mail services and by developing further resources and solutions with partners that can be sold to the private school sector. By Year 4, we plan to have a 100% Malawian staff with a wide product base aimed at Education.
Historia fundacional
I have been a teacher for thirteen years and have always been passionate about Africa and education. Although I had been to South Africa a number of times, I had not thought working in Malawi let alone developing a project here! However, I applied for job at Saint Andrew's and Gordon Benbow, the headteacher invited me to come to SAIntS to lead ICT and Community.
In a number of 'Divinely appointed' meetings, a partnership between SAIntS, Access Communications, IT Schools Africa and Microsoft was formed as a pilot in 2011. Teachers want the best for their students but why should each teacher plan alone? Why not work together and create a learning network where we 'Connect > Communicate > Collaborate?' So the next phase of MLP begins!

The link with the Ministry of Education that we are developing would enable us to work closely with the government in the development of the future curriculum, enhancing the focus on balanced nutrition and engaging adult learners rather than simply focusing on Malawi's future farmers.

Trade as Aid: Alternative Rural Development Framework (ARDF) in sub-Saharan Africa

Discurso rápido
To improve income level of each rural dweller above $2USD per day by growing their agribusiness to sustainable livelihood:Networking rural areas with urban centers and international markets via social media and extension agents for supply and demand of edible food alongside environmental management.
Problema
Sub-Saharan Africa is most infectious victim of poverty and nutritionally insecure,most especially in its rural areas. Food insecurity, environmental challenges, ill health, unemployment and low income prevail among them despite aid interventions. Rural areas--farmers--lack aid for economic empowerment of their agribusiness that ranges from input supply to optimum production with environmental management, and to marketing for their profitability.
Solución
In sub-Saharan Africa, agricultural growth is said to be 11 times more effective against poverty. Raising agricultural production and productivity up to profitable marketing underlying environmental sustainability remains crucial for reducing poverty in a cost-effective manner and to prevent endangering ecosystem, especially in low-income countries.
We are thinking about "Ecology of Commerce" by Paul Hawken; under consideration for environmental sustainability, agribusiness would be grown to empower rural people to a profitable and sustainable livelihood. When they are economically stable with high income through agribusiness, other problems like ill health, malnutrition, food insecurity and unemployment would be easily solved thereby.
Ejemplo
This deliberative framework promises to alleviate poverty by networking rural farmers for marketing, investments, storage, zero-waste management and, to bring their hearings to quick aid intervention in terms of environmental pollution soil and water management: Using Young Extension Agents and Social Media as tools for outreaches.
One of our agents on 13th of April,2013,contacted Mr. Shotade,a rural farmer at Ado-Awaye,who has been affected by low demand of his plantain in the area and tends to loss. Our agents helped him to market through our Social Media Skills(Technological Modern Rural Market) on facebook,wordpress etc, and also contacted people at Ibadan city who are highly demanding for it.He had 70% net profit increase.
Impacto
Current reach: Our Technological Modern Rural Market (TMRM) through mobile phones and social networks is reaching up to 5% of farmers (19males, 1 female) in rural communities we have just started with in 2012 till now, and reaching up to 500 Ibadan/Lagos dwellers for marketing and environmental campaign through our social networks.
Future reach: We would Improve income level of about 5 million rural dwellers above an average of $2 USD per day, by growing their agribusiness through a controlled market price, optimum storage, and zero-waste management, starting from Ibadan, sub-Saharan Africa, in the next ten years.
If we could get funds, aids, and other grants up to $500,000 USD; we would grow to reach up to 50, 000 rural farmers in affiliation; also, we would market and campaign to about 5,000,000 urban communities' dwellers in the next one year.
Mercado
Some organizations in sub-Saharan Africa help to alleviate poverty by supplying input to farmers, others in production stage and some educate to sell. Our organization trades as aid, have to have-not, empowers rural farmers by marketing their produce, educate them to expand and diversify,and supply them cheaper inputs through their investments with us. Our new cyclic strategy combines marketing for profitability, modern storage,urban food supply, environmental management through recycling and campaign, investment through saving, supply cheaper inputs, and rural aid broadcast--via social media.
Plan de Sustentabilidad
ARDF will continue to grow in as much there is existence of rural, urban and suburban centers whose needs are insatiable. And, base on the fact that the urban areas cannot do without food supply. We collect 5% of farmers net profit after we have market for them as maintenance fee. We collect agricultural wastes and commercial biodegradable wastes, recycle them into bio gas, paper and organic fertilizers and sell cheaply--money got keeps us going!
Historia fundacional
During my primary education, I grew up in the village of less than 20, 000 population who depend on agriculture as major occupation. My Father owed laborers in many cases due to poor sales, and this was the same story for many others. In 2012,when I visited villages to collect data for my research on rural development as a final year undergraduate student, 50kg tuber of yam cost me about $2USD in the village,when I got to Lagos(most populated city in Nigeria), I sold the same 50kg of yam at about $20USD and made a gross profit of about $15USD. I was moved to help rural people. Then, I included ARDF project (Trade as Aid)as part of IML's projects as the CEO, to aid rural people using social media marketing skills and young extension agents.

Nutrient-rich farming for full nourishment foods supply is an initiative we project to curb malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa.We will encourage rural farmers by supplying those improved cultivars of crops and breeds of animals of high economic and nutrient-rich value from Institute of Tropical Agriculture(IITA)and others—to plant and rear.Doing this will make our project achieve a high degree of economic empowerment and sustainable livelihood impact on rural and urban centers.Food production and supply would increase by at least 50%,with continuous balance diet food supply, free of poisoning.

“MEJORAMIENTO EN LA PRESTACION DE SERVICIOS DE SALUD MEDIANTE LA PUESTA EN MARCHA DE LOS CALL CENTER COMO MEDIOS TECNOLOGICOS
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Esta propuesta se encuentra situada en el área de las tecnologías de comunicación aplicadas al sector salud, específicamente en un área emergente en la que muchos países en vías de desarrollo están implementando con miras a lograr mayores beneficios en el sector de la salud. En tanto que es deber de las entidades prestadoras de servicios de salud y en particular en Colombia, dirigir las acciones tendientes a ofrecer de manera ágil y oportuna el servicio de agendamiento de citas médicas, autorizaciones para medicamentos y procedimientos médicos y una oportuna atención al usuario en todo lo relacionado a los servicios de salud, con la finalidad de mejorar los servicios y la comunicación con estos, es por ello que se crea la necesidad de implementar los servicios de Call Center para la asignación de citas medicas (generales, especializadas, odontológicas entre otras.) y al mismo tiempo el manejo de indicadores de satisfacción del usuario.
Cabe destacar que actualmente el sistema de salud colombiano se encuentra colapsado ya que en las entidades prestadoras de salud se cuenta con menor cantidad de personal especializado, menos accesibilidad a los servicios de salud y tiempos de espera mucho mayores para la realización de procedimientos , las largas filas en ciertos lugares para acceder a una cita médica general, para reclamar una medicina o para acceder a una autorización son el pan diario en varias EPS y ESE de salud. Por todo lo anterior es necesario fortalecer las herramientas tecnológicas, de comunicación y la ampliación de la cobertura y acceso a los servicios de salud.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
La diferencia de nuestra propuesta radica en que queremos ayudar a mejorar los servicios de salud mediante la utilización eficiente y eficaz de los recursos tecnológicos y humanos con los que cuenta cada entidad prestadora de salud, logrando de esta forma beneficios económicos mediante la disminución de los costos de conexión, además se puede potenciar la tecnología de Hardware (conexiones de red, equipos especializados de comunicación, unidades de almacenamiento de datos), en software (licencias de sistemas operativos, administradores de bases de datos, gestión telefónica, sistemas de reportes), en recursos humanos (selección bajo competencias, formación, entrenamiento, administración, auditoria, informes, seguimiento y control, entre otros).

This requires innovation at both the conceptual (idea) and implementation (model) levels and also a nuanced understanding of the target population (marginalized communities at the BoP earning less than $8/day) and their ability to pay for effective chronic disease management.
The PBM, through its smart-phone enabled 'e-scripts' feature (digital medical prescriptions) will minimize medical errors from ineligible writing or reading errors. In addition, a national Pharmacy Rx Smart Card, will introduce differential pricing – offering a very large pool of low‐income beneficiaries access to quality medicines at below -market prices without cannibalizing core premium commercial markets or devaluing drug brands. We believe that participating pharmaceutical companies can find a path to profitability through significant volume based revenue origination from the BOP if they are willing to offer income‐sensitive retail pricing that directly benefits low-income populations, leveraging mobile technology and digital micropayments.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
NAYA JEEVAN's innovation triad (e-scripts, Rx smart cards and technology-enabled direct-from manufacturer discounts for the BoP) is truly unique. To date, there has been no institutionalized effort in Pakistan, to reduce avoidable medical errors through digital prescriptions. In addition 50% of the pharmaceutical supply in Pakistan is counterfeit which represents a major public health threat to disempowered consumers. Finally, there has been no large-scale effort to provide life-altering medicines to BoP communities in an affordable manner. Even low-income consumers of health in the public sector are required to pay for their medications and are often faced with the daunting prospect of skipping their medicines in order to feed their families - an unfair and unsustainable choice.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
NAYA JEEVAN practices 'Kaizen' - continuous improvement in its systems, processes and products. The organization is comprised of ~30 dynamic, passionate individuals - many of whom have returned to Pakistan to apply the technical knowledge and expertise they have acquired in the US, Canada and Europe to accelerate 'frugal innovation' in the East. The organization is very flat and encourages critical inquiry and decision feedback loops that promote best practices from the bottom up.
Resource-constrained environments in the emerging world are particularly conducive to innovation, e.g. Infrastructural constraints are being leapfrogged by technology-enabled mHealth and eHealth and HR constraints are being addressed through task-shifting and right-skilling of the health workforce.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Necessity is the mother of invention (and innovation). Pakistan is fraught with external challenges (social, political, security, terrorism, etc.) which only exacerbates the need for access to quality healthcare for millions of marginalized and accentuates the importance of our work. Organizational resilience in the face of adversity is a very important quality to possess and we can proudly say that our organization has survived multiple challenges - especially access to growth capital, markets and human talent.
Innovation and adaptation to a rapidly changing environment is very much embedded in our organizational DNA - we have developed multiple contingency plans for each external threat as well as identified 'bright spots' that can be accelerated if external conditions are favorable.

One of the biggest development challenges in Pakistan is lack of access to affordable, quality healthcare, with an under-resourced public health infrastructure that is unable to cater to the population. A majority of the Pakistani population lives below the poverty line, has little to no savings, and has zero access to quality healthcare. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that over 50% of the nations' pharmaceutical drug supply is counterfeit and poses a significant health risk to disempowered consumers - especially in rural areas where literacy and awareness are low. In addition, there have been significant fatalities from medical errors associated with ineligible writing and incorrect drug dispensation.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
NAYA JEEVAN’s ‘PBM’ is a technology-enabled, market-based approach to minimizing medical errors via smart-phone enabled digital prescriptions (eScripts), eliminating counterfeit medicines and increasing affordability and access to quality healthcare. The PBM, through its national Pharmacy Smart Card, will introduce differential pricing – offering a very large pool of pre-qualified, low‐income beneficiaries access to quality medicines. Direct-from-manufacturer discounts will be enabled at point-of-sale (POS) without cannibalizing core premium commercial markets or devaluing drug brands. We believe that participating pharmaceutical companies can find a path to profitability through significant volume based revenue origination from the BOP.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Our overarching vision is to provide an automated solution that makes pharmaceutical purchases cashless, affordable and safe for low-income communities throughout the emerging world.
Our objectives include:
1. Education of retailers/microretailers on how to utilize smart-phone enabled, cashless POS technology in order to enhance their sales, improve their inventory management and operational efficiency.
2. Empowerment of consumers through real-time, sms-enabled, POS product authentication
3. Elimination of medical errors due to ineligible writing by disseminating smart-phone enabled digital prescription technology
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
For an annual membership fee of only PKR 500 ($5), qualified, low-income families will be able to procure Rx smart cards which provide them with 20-50% POS, direct-from-manufacturer discounts at a participating nationwide network of retail pharmacies. Given that the average annual expenditure of low-income families on medicines for chronic disease management is estimated to be at least PKR 6000/year ($60), the minimum net savings, health consumers will enjoy are PKR 700 ($7/year). In addition low-income consumers will be empowered to authenticate the drug they are purchasing via real-time sms. This technology will be integrated with the Rx smart card and the only cost associated with product authentication will be the regular cost of an sms transmission.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our target customers are the working poor who are concentrated into 5 sectors within the formal economy: corporate, public, academic, SME and NGO as well as a very large informal economy which includes domestic household staff such as drivers, cooks, maids, guards, etc. and their families. The total population of such workers in Pakistan is ~40 Million and the potential lives impacted (including their families) is ~120 Million lives.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
NAYA JEEVAN has cultivated close collaborations with large MNC and national corporations. We cascade our health plan for the marginalized up and down their value chains, targeting low-income stakeholders (suppliers, distributors, microretailers, etc). We intend to leverage the same distribution platforms to disseminate our Smart Drugs card. In addition, we will also partner with large MFIs to target the communities they conduct business in.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
[1] Negotiation of retail discounts for pharmaceutical medicines/vaccinations/diagnostic supplies from Pharmaceutical companies
[2] Construction of a pre-discounted Pharmaceutical Formulary database
[3] Development of an appropriate technology platform with our technology partner (UBL Omni)
[4] Selection of participating in-network retail pharmacies in Karachi
[5] Pilot launch of Smart Drugs system in Karachi with distribution of Pharmacy Smart cards to clinic and health plan members (~25000 households)
[6] Monitoring/testing and quality assurance, documenting lessons learned. Dissemination of learnings via continuous feedback loops.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
There are no companies which are providing digital prescription or product authentication services to the BoP at the present time in Pakistan. However, we hope that our model will catalyze the entry of competitors into the marketplace as there is a huge market to serve (over 120 million lives). Potential market entrants include insurance companies seeking product diversification and value creation opportunities as well as ICT-enabled health solutions companies. While these companies may try and 'out-muscle' us in the market, our expectation is that a number of large pharmaceutical companies will come forward to collaborate with us on this project and, to a certain degree, immunize us from such competition (although competition is healthy and we welcome it as a social business).
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Pakistan is facing a major energy crisis and this is an issue which can discourage use of electronically powered, ICT-dependent solutions. Environmental and personal security remains a challenge but we will continue to innovate and leapfrog these constraints. A major organizational constraint is sufficient access to growth capital. In an ideal world, we would have no problem raising the growth capital needed ($1.2 Million over the next 12 months) and would have scaled to serving over 150,000 consumers at the BoP.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
Our growth plan consists of partnering with the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF has over 100 partner/member MFIs and large NGOs) and the NISP (National Income Support Program) to incorporate our technology into their current value proposition. NISP has over 7.5 Million beneficiaries and provides an ideal platform to scale our social business.

Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es), Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Our hospital network is already operating in over 40 districts in Pakistan and is poised for additional expansion into rural areas. In addition we have been approached by potential partners in India, UAE, US and Latin America to replicate variants of our model in those countries/regions.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
Our major objective as we grow is to achieve financial sustainability in Pakistan so that we are no longer reliant on grants/donations. We would then be ready to replicate this approach in other emerging economies.
In addition, as we grow, we want to continuously create more tangible value for our low-income members/consumers. This will require ongoing collaborations with the private sector.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
(i) Regional Expansion and Diaspora Engagement (in US, UK, UAE & EU): June 2013 - June 2014
(ii) Pilot study of model in US (January 2014 - March 2015)
(iii) Replication of model with pilots in India, UAE and Latin America (January 2014 - September 2014)
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Our primary metrics are number of enrollees in our health insurance plan (23,000+), in our preventive health plan (43,000+) or in active pipeline (20,000+). In addition, we have reduced organizational cost/life impacted from $18/life impacted to $6/life impacted between 2009 and 2012.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
In addition to the above, we monitor:
• Numbers of calls received on our 24/7 medical hotline (~150/month),
• Customer feedback surveys
• Utilization of our donor-financed Health Rescue Fund (HRF)
• Changes in Health Outcomes (incidence of diarrheal illness, pneumonia, URTI, etc)
• Changes in socioeconomic indicators (house income, housing status, etc)
In order to assess our social return on investment (SROI), NAYA JEEVAN has adopted the IRIS international reporting standards co-developed by ANDE, GIIN and the Acumen Fund. It reports to IRIS on these indicators through ANDE. NAYA JEEVAN has also gone through the GIIRS evaluation/certification process.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
The NAYA JEEVAN 'Smart Drugs' system was designed to be sustainable, scalable and replicable across both the developing and developed worlds (digitization of medical prescriptions will also be beneficial in developed markets). It utilizes basic GPRS/GSM-based mobile technology which is ubiquitous globally.
Our expectation is that our model will have been replicated across all 6 habitable continents; leading to the achievement of our vision of a world where all low-income populations have access to affordable quality healthcare and socioeconomic opportunity. Moreover, governments across the globe will will have adopted, customized and scaled this concept within their national social security programs.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Over the next 1-3 years, NAYA JEEVAN plans to replicate its “Smart Drugs" model in neighboring countries including India and the UAE. There is also a possibility that we may grow by franchising our model or entering into joint ventures in other developing markets such as South Africa, Indonesia, Philippines, Latin America, etc. In total, we expect to have over a million lives protected and mainstreamed into the global economy via this program either directly or indirectly by catalyzing similar models.

For every dollar of incoming revenue (insurance contributions or smart card membership fees), NAYA JEEVAN pays ~75 cents to insurance underwriters and technical partners with the remaining gross margin designated to cover the organization's operating expenses. We are currently generating ~$400,000 in operating revenue, of which ~$100,000 is retained as gross margin to cover our operational costs (~$450,000 in 2012)

As we ramp up our social business model, the proportion of overall revenue that is derived from operational earned-income will continue to rise such that we expect it to exceed 100% of operational cost by Q1'2015 and to represent over 70% of our overall income/revenue. In order to do this, we will need to expand/regionalize our model to Lahore/Islamabad (Northern Pakistan) as well as engage the Pakistani diaspora in the UK, US, Canada, EU, Singapore/HK and UAE (who can cross-subsidize the healthcare costs of their significant others in Pakistan).
In addition to market expansion, we are also expanding our product portfolio and extending our operating margins. The Rx Smart card has a gross margin of ~50% which when integrated with our health insurance plan will help raise the overall gross margin from 25% to ~30%.
In the interim, we are raising philanthropic capital from innovation funds and corporate sources and have already raised $150,000 in Q1' 2013. (our annual budget is ~$525,000)

Blooders.org - Conexión entre las personas que cuentan con una necesidad de sangre y las que están dispuestas a donarla.
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
MODELO
La innovación radica en el modelo en el que atacamos el problema. Explicaré nuestra innovación a manera de una historia para que sea muy fácil de entenderla:
Paso 1 - Carlos es un donador altruista que se entera de Blooders.org y se registra como O-
Paso 2 - Andrea necesita sangre para su tratamiento, por lo que ingresa una necesidad de sangre en Blooders.org
Paso 3 - Nuestra plataforma emite un llamado de acción por correo y SMS a todos los Blooders O- que se encuentren en la misma ciudad que Andrea.
POBLACIÓN OBJETIVO
Nuestra población objetivo es el rango de 18 a 35 años.
Una clave importante para el éxito del proyecto es el lenguaje que utilizamos, éste es fresco, original y sin los estigmas que generalmente rondan acerca de la donación de sangre.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
La mayoría son páginas de internet que no generan la conexión que nosotros si logramos. El otro competidor que tenemos son los grupos de Facebook pero de igual manera no generan la interacción que nosotros si logramos, por otra parte creemos que éste último no es el medio más adecuado para este tipo de cuestiones.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Los factores de éxito son los siguientes:
- Costos de Operación Muy Bajos.
- Un equipo de trabajo multidisciplinario.
- Vinculación con Universidades, Hospitales y Sector Gobierno.
- Modelo fácil de replicar en diferentes ciudades, estados y/o países.
*Somos la única plataforma que generamos la conexión efectiva (mediante SMS y correo) entre quien dona y quien necesita la sangre.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Nuestro plan de crecimiento esta diseñado para involucrar campeones/representantes en cada una de las áreas que deseen y/o estén preparados para adoptar el proyecto. Actualmente la operación empezará en Monterrey pero ya tenemos gente interesada en replicar el modelo en Villahermosa.
Nos aseguraremos de innnovar constantemente mediante la generación de Analíticos en la página así como una encuesta sencilla para detectar el porcentaje de cumplimiento de los llamados de acción. Nuestro primer objetivo es que de cada 10 necesidades de sangre se cumplan 8 de éstas.

Chris Wilson, a small film maker, sat down with his grandmother in 2012 to search for assisted living online. He saw was is easy to book a hotel, buy real estate and even find love online but it was nearly impossible to find senior living with good decision making tools. It was at that point he made it his mission to revolutionize the way people search for and make decisions about senior care.

Late Living - Senior Living Video Tour Directory
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Late Living has created the only online directory of senior care facility video tours.
We provide an amazingly simple solution to a complex and emotional problem that is a win/win situation for care facilities, the families of aging parents, and the elderly parent in need. Never before has the search for senior living been as easily accessible to families and their elderly loved ones. A one sided decision making process for finding senior care has now been replaced by collaboration and involvement of an aged parent in spite of disability or distance.
LateLiving.com’s key distinguishing trait of floating motion video tours coupled with unique website features has significantly overshadowed current competitor online directories and will quickly become the most used and trusted resource of families searching for elderly care.
Late Living has developed a unique filming technique to give the videos a “floating” walkthrough feel as if one were walking the property in person. By utilizing specialized equipment and cinema quality cameras to produce ultra wide viewing angles and incredibly smooth motion potential patients and their families can quickly narrow their choices by touring facilities conveniently online without ever leaving their home.
The families of elderly loved ones can further pinpoint their needs with an advanced search criteria including up-to-date pricing and availability. Their preliminary decision will derive from the feel for what a facility has to offer combined with user reviews and pricing information.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
The LateLiving.com website directory is unique from current competition because it satisfies the needs of two important segments, the families of senior citizens and the facility marketing staff.
The current approach is to search for senior care with the use of placement agencies or online directories that sell your information to these agencies. These companies require in person tours and meetings that take three to four weeks. These individuals are influenced by money and friendships that do not put the well being of the patient first and compromise the integrity of the industry.
Unlike competitor websites, we do not sell the information of our users and have developed decision making web tools, including the video tours, to cut the search time down to three to four hours.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Nearly 70 million baby boomers will retire in the next 20 years, and at the end of 2012 there were over 40,000 assisted living facilities in existence within the United States. Searching for a suitable residence for an aged parent or family member can be a daunting task in an industry that lags eight to ten years behind in technology and marketing. Many families struggle to find adequate care or simply choose the first available option instead of what is best for their loved one. To top it off, many elderly parents are not sufficiently mobile or cannot spend time visiting the facilities to help in the decision making process.
Our company has leveraged technology and automation to be a lean, cash efficient start up with sound business principles and an wise advisory board.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
We have developed our technology, organization and cultural road maps to ensure the company is able to innovate and keep us on the cutting edge. We ensure that the customer is always an integral part of the process when developing new features and make it a key point to always remember who we are serving.
We have constantly looked forward to massive growth and have put the process automation and documentation in place since the first day to ensure that repetitive tasks are minimized and value add is the driving force behind our productive time.
In order to focus attention on the items of greatest importance we have outsourced the tasks that are not our core competencies and focused all of our time and energy toward working "on" the business and not "in" the business.

Late Living is seeking to solve the problem of finding senior care efficiently and effectively using technology.
Using the current approach, families of an aging loved one are forced to cooperate with placement agency policies and potentially unethical practices or continue the search on their own. Tackling this monumental and emotional task currently requires countless phone calls and in person tours that squander resources, waste time and limit other viable options. Many simply do not have the time or money required to locate suitable living arrangements on their own, especially when geographical distance becomes a barrier.

Users will have free access to the website, its features, and all of the video tours without a subscription. As part of this free access, users will also be able to create their own account to simplify their search and save and share their favorite facilities privately. Family members can then make comments and suggestions on a user's favorites through a unique method that does not require an account or sign in. By using this method, family members can be involved in the decision making process regardless of location.
In addition to helping seniors and their families, Late Living is also modernizing the way facilities market their services to prospective clients in the form of video licensing and analytic subscriptions for enhanced target marketing efforts.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Late Living's management team has a dream to create an indispensable tool that aids hundreds of thousands of elderly citizens in finding adequate care later in life without ever leaving home. Late Living’s dream is to become the Zillow of assisted living with the room availability information of a Hotwire.com service. Our primary goal is to create the leading online website for locating assisted living through the use of video walk through tours. In doing this we have a mission to accomplish two objectives; redefine an industry held back by crippling paradigms and influenced by unethical practices; ease the burden felt by family and loved ones by providing a user friendly online tool that will aid in better decision making with less effort.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
The LateLiving.com website and it's tools revolutionize the search for senior care by transforming a three to four week search into a three to four hour decision. Through the use of the tours and unique sharing features families can tour as many locations as they'd like from anywhere in the country and collaborate on the decision as a family instead of the burden falling on the eldest child or closest family member.
We also take the value proposition one step further with a completely new approach to reaching seniors and their families through the use of magnetic marketing. By licensing the video and subscribing to our monthly video analytic package facility marketing staff can see who their top prospects are, target their marketing efforts and reduce their work load by up to 96%.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
There are two customer segments in our market. Website visitors and facility marketing staff.
A website visitor in our target market is a U.S. Adult ranging in age from 40 to 60 years old. Most of these users will be searching for senior living for someone other than themselves, namely a loved one or aging parent in need of care. They are professionals with busy schedules and family members spread across regions.
Facility administrators match the profile of marketing and sales staff of larger centers (50 apartments or more), who need a viable alternative to placement agencies and have very little marketing automation knowledge.
Various segmentation exist within each group and we are currently working to identify the most profitable and most accepting market segments.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
The go to market strategy to build the database of video tours as quickly as possible. The success of LateLiving.com rests squarely on the quantity and quality of the content. In order to maximize the amount of content and to surpass the usefulness of competitor sites, filming of the video tours and setup on LateLiving.com will be free of charge until September 2013. Utilizing this strategy will allow the directory to capture nearly all of the locations in the state of Arizona.
A free basic video tour will ignite interest in the project and allow access to key decision makers in each facility. They will then be offered an up sell of additional video enhancements and a paid monthly licensing of the video for use on a facility website packaged with an analytics subscription.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Our primary activities involve the creation, maintenance, and feature enhancements of the online database. We also educate facility staff of the new availability of our services and coordinate of filming and editing of the senior communities.
Educating the sales and marketing staff of senior communities has also emerged as being a primary activity of the company because of the lack of marketing automation skills found within these organizations. This also aids in positioning our services as a time saving solution and expert knowledge of the subject.
As the database grows, our primary focus will be on educating the public of the availability of the video directory and the unique decision makign features it offers to families who are currently searching for care.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Currently, there are a large number of online directories that offer general information about the care facilities that list with their site. However two of them are industry leaders:
o APlaceForMom.com – founded in July 2000
o OurParents.com – founded April 2001
Due to the size of these companies and their current reach they pose the greatest threat to our growth if they can successfully implement a video solution and sharing feature similar to LateLiving.com.
These directories are maintained by companies who supply leads to placement agencies and charge no up front fee to have a listing on their site, their fee is in the form of commissions once a user moves in.
Marketing staff do not like using these directories because of the minimal value they provide to residents.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
We face significant challenges as a start up company with regard to our team and funding. This is a game changing opportunity that has the potential to disrupt an entire industry and significant funding will be necessary to populate the online directory with a sufficient number of video tours as well as inform the target market about our services for their families. To overcome this hurdle, we have already reached out to angel investment groups and venture capital firms who have shown a mutual interest in our project and formed relationships before we are in need of funding.
Because we are a small team, we face the challenge of attracting A Game players to help us build the company. We also realize each team member has a runway of time they can contribute before requiring a salary.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
We plan to film as many Arizona facilities as possible within the next 9 months with a target of 120 locations. We have become members of senior housing organizations that have given us access to nationwide senior living chains and sales meetings with key staff. We have also identified seven key states that will become the first regions for nationwide expansion (CA, TX, FL, OH, WA, OR, NV).
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nueva(s) región(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Over the past year we have integrated Infusionsoft as our CRM and marketing automation software with an eye toward rapid growth. Clearly documented processes have helped to completely automate repetitive tasks and reduce profile setup time on the LateLiving.com website by 70%. We have also signed up videographers in seven states at a cost savings of 65% market rate for this type of filming.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
To accomplish our objectives there are five goals that need to be realized within the next year:
• Revenue Goal: $100,000
• Reach critical mass of 170 facility video tours on LateLiving.com
• Attain 75 monthly paying clients by the end of 2013
• Generate 20,000 visits per month by the end of 2013
• Achieve 50 resident placements from the website
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Key activities include search engine optimization of the website, a public relations push as we hit our growth milestones in order to generate awareness and drive traffic to the website, and rapid expansion of the database to include all Arizona facilities.
Within a three year period Late Living will have captured a 40% market share and have complied a comprehensive database of video tours. Goals to accomplish within three years are as follows:
1. 2015 Revenue Goal: $6M
2. Host 1,600 facility video tours on LateLiving.com by the end of 2015
3. Monthly Recurring Revenue Goal: $244,000/mo
4. Attain 1,350 monthly paying clients by the end of 2015
5. Generate 300,000 visits per month by the end of 2015
6. Achieve 340 resident placements per month by the end of 2015

We have had the privileged of filming 50 senior care facilities to date and are currently seeking the grow the database of tours to 170 locations by the end of 2013 in order to help the maximum number of seniors and their families find care.
Our mentors have advised us to focus on building the database of video tours before promoting the website to the public in order to make it useful to everyone within a region who chooses to visit the website.
We have done preliminary research to determine the time saving benefits of using the website one critical mass has been reached and it has been discovered that the average family spends three to four weeks searching for senior care with the current methods. The impact of our online offering will reduce that search by 95% and effectively make process a collaborative decision instead of an exhaustive search.
As a measure to also aid those who are looking at specific locations for care, we have also implemented the video tours and analytics into the websites of two large senior communities in Arizona. The response has been positive and they have seen as many as 400 video tour views in the first two weeks from locations ranging from Florida to as far away as Alaska.
They are also running pilot campaigns with offline and online media directing users to the video tours online. This approach is saving marketing staff in upwards of 400 man hours to conduct personal tours of the property and increasing satisfaction in the sales process because it can be custom tailored to the interested individual.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
We are quantifying the social impact of our technology by tracking the number of registered users on the website, the number of direct inquiries to senior care communities and the number of residents who move into these locations. These key metrics will help us as we devise strategies for increasing the social impact the video directory will have on the U.S. population as a whole and by tracking these statistics we will be able to calculate the approximate amount of time and resources saved by families who utilize the tools LateLiving.com has to offer.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
At Late Living we are determined to make this online solution a nationwide directory as quickly as possible in order to serve every region within the United States.
Our initial target is Arizona which represents a perfect validation area for our new service. As we understand the approach and hone the message within Arizona we are poised to target eight key states for immediate expansion. The database will eventually encompass all senior living locations in the United States within five years.
A similar senior care situation exists within the European Union which represent possible expansion opportunities and with the film maker network in place we can also expand into additional markets similar to senior housing. These include university housing, home buying, and others.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
There are five goals that need to be realized within the next year:
• Revenue Goal: $100,000
• Reach critical mass of 170 facility video tours on LateLiving.com
• Attain 75 monthly paying clients by the end of 2013
• Generate 20,000 visits per month by the end of 2013
• Achieve 50 resident placements from the website

Owner equity was the first stage in the funding strategy and seemed reasonable at the time of inception.
In order to take our idea to market we have employed the strategy of grant funding and competitions to support seed stage and business model validation. As we move forward and show sustainability through the video licensing and analytic subscriptions we attract over the next six months we hope to secure a series A round of financing through angel investment groups or micro VC's willing to support growth plans through the next year of operations in order to expand into additional regions and employ key staff necessary to execute on our deliverables.

Users will have free access to the website, its features, and all of the video tours without a subscription. The main source of revenue will come in the form of referral fees paid by the facilities after they have received a lead from the website and signed a contract with the user. The referral fee paid by the locations is a flat rate of $1,500 per resident.
In addition to helping seniors and their families, Late Living is also modernizing the way facilities market their services to prospective clients. Recurring revenue in the form of video licensing and analytic subscriptions to these facilities will supplement the referral fees. A one time enrollment fee of $799 applies to this package with a $179 monthly subscription.

Growing the database of video tours and promoting it to the public will be key to generating a significant revenue stream in order to maintain a sustainable business model.
Subscription revenue from large senior communities will carry the company through the beginning stages because they will be able to adopt the technology before a significant number of locations exists on the website in their area. This revenue will be critical until each region reaches a critical mass at which time referral revenue payments will become the dominate form of cash generating activity.
Over a four year model our cash flow breakdown can been seen in the following list (all percentages are approximate and exclude certain small revenue streams):
2013 - $107,000: 64% Enrollment fees, 32% Subscriptions, 1.4% Referral Revenue
2014 - $1.4M: 40% Enrollment fees, 30% Subscriptions, 29% Referral Revenue
2015 - $6M: 13% Enrollment fees, 24% Subscriptions, 62% Referral Revenue
2016 - $12.2M: 6% Enrollment fees, 20% Subscriptions, 72% Referral Revenue

Not only did I receive a "community grant" from the March of Dimes to further a telehealth needs assessment study at the state-level, but a related project was implemented for high risk OBGyn services to numerous locations.
Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
After listening to a presentation on telehealth for stroke, I realized such a model could be used to improve access to underserved communities, advance medical education, address health disparities and enhance the value (cost and benefit) of care. This "aha" moment led to my dissertation which was on telehealth, my grant from the March of Dimes, and later my transformational idea.

Telehealth Solutions for Schools
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Though not new, telehealth is an innovative solution to many of today's health care issues. Such a model enables medical experts from anywhere in the world to provide education and consultation to individuals anywhere else in the world. The only requirements are a computer and internet, so access is convenient and relatively inexpensive, and yet the benefits are extraordinary. Telehealth Solutions for Schools provides school-based health programs with access to primary, specialty and pharmacy care. Ultimately, this solution will reach elementary and middle school children around the globe, and will greatly enhance access to primary, specialty and pharmacy expertise, reduce the cost of care, and improve quality and outcomes while addressing disparities,
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
While various organizations are building telehealth programs, Telehealth Solutions for Schools provides access to primary and specialty care, as well as pharmacy expertise for school health programs around the globe.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
There is tremendous momentum for telehealth solutions, so the three primary factors for success are 1) finding start-up support, 2) identifying a physician champion (which I have done), and 3) collaborating with a school or school system to innovate.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Given the continuous changes in technology, there will be ongoing innovation as it relates to telehealth solutions. This program will build on the innovations to reach new schools, and therefore school children and school-based health care providers, around the globe.

The model is simple:
Using the internet, Telehealth Solutions for Schools will connect with school-based health providers around the globe, and will offer consultation and education aimed to improve overall health status for children in elementary and middle schools.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
The short-term value proposition includes improved access to primary, specialty and pharmacy care, reduced costs, and enhanced outcomes.
By focusing on the intersection of education and healthcare, we can improve upon both - that's the long-term value proposition.

¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
The only foreseeable problem relates to the new care delivery model. Working through school bureaucracies might present problems; however, the value proposition should resolve this issue. Also, in other countries, there will be questions related to licensing, malpractice, etc, but those questions will be sorted out.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
Should be able to expand rapidly. One provider should be able to support between 10 - 20 schools, so growth will be largely dependent on the addition of schools.

Dimagi founders Vikram and Jonathan consistently designed and implemented innovative solutions for healthcare domestically and globally. However, Dimagi's work in community health was completely focused abroad. In 2012, MHP partnered with Dimagi to bring CommCare to their own programs in the US, and we all realized the potential value and opportunity to expand on this effort.

Expanding low-cost mobile health tools for domestic CHW programs.
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Community Health Workers (CHWs) that are properly trained, motivated, and supervised can be the single most efficacious technology in the public health toolkit for improving health outcomes. Unfortunately, the full potential of health programs is rarely achieved in practice because training, motivation, and supervision are pervasive weaknesses of CHW programs.
CommCare, Dimagi’s flagship mobile health (mHealth) platform, resolutely addresses these weaknesses: it expands the technical capacity of CHWs and the quality of their services, increases CHW motivation, and provides a powerful set of tools for monitoring, supervising, and supporting CHWs. This is done by replacing cumbersome paper registers, reporting forms, and patient education flipcharts with an open source, customizable software application that is housed on a mobile phone. At the simplest level, CommCare tracks and supports CHWs’ interactions with clients. At a broader level, CommCare is a cutting-edge electronic health record system, a dynamic quality improvement system, and a tool for delivering innovative services and content to clients more effectively. Ultimately, CommCare enables health worker programs of all sizes to achieve their full potential.
CommCare has been widely used effectively in numerous global markets and we’re looking to bring CommCare to domestic markets. Dimagi and Migrant Health Promotion (MHP) are forging a partnership to offer the CommCare app and wraparound support to health centers and other organizations throughout the U.S.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
With over 5,000 registered mobile users across 35 countries in our cloud environment and over 1 million forms submitted to date, CommCare is one of the most widely adopted, technically advanced, and evidence-based mobile health platforms.
Dimagi supports CommCare through a Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing model. This SaaS model not only provides both an industry-leading set of features and ability to support large-scale deployments, but also lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Together, these aspects differentiate CommCare from other competing mHealth products and position it well for the U.S market.
In addition, Dimagi and MHP are not aware of any other organizations that are partnering to provide mobile technology to organizations utilizing the CHW model in the U.S.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
The focus of the U.S. health care system is shifting toward improving the quality and coordination of care, promoting patient engagement, reducing costs, and improving health outcomes. There is a growing interest nationally in the potential of both the CHW model and innovative technology advance these objectives. This is an ideal environment for introducing the CommCare mobile app and wraparound support services to health centers and other organizations.
Dimagi has a long history of partnering with funders, researchers, and implementers who want to use technology to strengthen their health projects. We believe the key to social innovation is about knowing when to “out-collaborate” your way through the markets rather than “out-compete”, which is demonstrated by our partnership with MHP.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Our efforts in developing the CommCare platform are constantly kept in check and directed by the needs of our users, the CHWs. Currently, new innovation is spurred by our team of international field engineers, working full-time with CHWs around the world. Our field engineers share experience and lessons-learned with each other.
As we look to further expand into the domestic healthcare market, our partnership with MHP will provide yet another avenue for contextually relevant feedback. MHP has over 30 years of experience with domestic healthcare systems, with an emphasis on the role of Community Health Workers; this collaboration will provide this same feedback mechanism for innovation as we further develop CommCare to respond to the needs of domestic CHWs.

Health centers and other community organizations serve a critical role in serving Americans with limited access to care, including 48.6 million uninsured and 40 million and 50.7 million enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid, respectively. CHWs are uniquely qualified to help these organizations reach and improve services to underserved populations. CHWs can connect people to health care, deliver culturally and linguistically competent health education, increase compliance with provider instructions, and improve patients’ understanding of health conditions and ability to manage them. However, in order for CHWs to work effectively, there must be a clear link between their activities with patients and providers’ activities with those same patients. This link is weak or missing in many cases.

CommCare is an open-source mHealth platform designed for data collection, client management, decision support, and behavior change communication. CommCare can support a large number of users and provides out-of-the-box reporting, analytics, and performance management to create actionable insight from collected data.
CommCare includes a feature-rich mobile application, data reporting tools, and an application-building platform through a cloud-based server application called CommCareHQ (www.commcarehq.org). CommCareHQ allows users to easily customize a CommCare mobile application and download it onto their phones. Users can submit data in real-time, and the data is immediately available to supervisors and program managers through automated, pre-canned reporting and data exports.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Dimagi and MHP’s shared vision is that health centers and other organizations throughout the U.S. will successfully integrate CommCare and use it to increase cost-effectiveness and improve patient/participant outcomes. To that end, we aim to achieve the following objectives:
(1) By second quarter 2014, we will have developed and piloted at least one new innovative feature for CommCare in further enable CommCare to effectively serve U.S. CHW programs.
(2) By second quarter 2014, 3 health centers and/or other organizations in the U.S. will have contracted with MHP to implement CommCare.
(3) By fourth quarter 2014, MHP will pilot its cost savings/ROI calculator tool with several organizations attempting to show increased cost effectiveness and cost savings from using CommCare.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
CommCare has been used effectively in numerous global markets but has not yet been applied in the U.S. market. Dimagi believes CommCare can provide great value including increased quality of healthcare delivery and significant cost savings to health centers and other organizations utilizing the CHW model in the U.S.
As demonstrated by MHP’s implementation of CommCare in 2012, CommCare enables data drive management and transparency, increased quality of healthcare delivery while reducing cost at the same time. MHP reported a 55% reduction in program cost after the introduction of CommCare to their CHW programs. Together, this creates a strong value proposition for domestic health centers and organizations striving to increase impact while also looking to increase their cost effectiveness.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
MHP’s customers are health centers (including Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs) and other organizations throughout the U.S. that have CHW initiatives. As we actively look to extend CommCare in the U.S. for the first time, the target market will be organizations that (a) have CHWs, managers, clinicians, AND administrators who are highly motivated to integrate CommCare into their operations, (b) are able and willing to invest their existing resources in the mobile app and wraparound support (vs. seeking grant funding), and (c) are investing in CommCare not only to address their data and reporting needs, but also to deliver better care and improve health outcomes.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
MHP has worked with FQHCs and other organizations utilizing the CHW model throughout the U.S. for 30 years and is very familiar with the national landscape of FQHCs and organizations that are using the CHW model. This familiarity encompasses the capacity and extent of motivation and innovative spirit of many of these organizations. MHP and Dimagi will use in-person, print, and web-based marketing strategies to target first those organizations that are ideally positioned to participate, and later any additional organizations that use the CHW model but whose capacities and levels of motivation and innovation are yet unknown. MHP is in the process of hiring a National Contracts Facilitation Manager whose responsibilities will include promoting the Dimagi/MHP Product to the target market.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Primary activities will include:
• Marketing CommCare and wraparound support;
• Conducting readiness assessments with interested organizations and helping them secure necessary buy-in;
• Working with participating organizations to establish implementation and T/TA plans;
• Tailoring the mobile application to the needs of each organization, with an emphasis on ensuring that the application generates patient data desired by clinicians in a format that is easy to consume;
• Training CHWs and other stakeholders within participating organizations to use the app;
• Providing training and support regarding the management of the app;
• Based on feedback, developing one or more new innovative features for CommCare that respond to needs for the U.S. market.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
We know of several other mHealth platforms including: Magpi, OpenDataKit, ClickDiagnostics, FrontlineSMS, and Datawinners.
CommCare’s feature list exceeds that of any competing product in mHealth. In particular, CommCare has the following differentiating features which are essential to the US market: (1) longitudinal client tracking (2) multimedia integration to foster client engagement (3) Android phones compatible (4) utilize SaaS and licensing product model which ease replication and enable scale.
The mHealth platforms mentioned have not yet earnestly targeted the U.S. market. However, these platforms could enter the market. But, we believe CommCare’s differentiating features better address the needs of domestic partners which will remain our advantage and lead to our success.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
While community health is a growing emphasis in the US healthcare system, the business models to support funding a community health programs and community health workers are nascent and sometimes non-existent. Without strong financial models for community health workers, innovating and supporting these programs will be extremely challenging.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
Bringing our expertise of building CHW technology for years in global health, we are partnering with CHW programs in the US that have equally strong experience in the delivering care through CHW programs. Dimagi offers a tiered pricing licensing model seeks to enhance the business value of CommCare by better aligning and serving each organization’s program size and requirements.

Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Dimagi supports CommCare through a SaaS model. This SaaS model not only provides both an industry-leading set of features, but also lowers the total cost of ownership for a partner.
With our completion of CommCare as a turnkey solution, this enables MHP to leverage their experience and not need to solely rely on Dimagi to further implement and scale CommCare in the U.S.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
As mentioned above, in 2014, Dimagi and MHP will have developed and piloted at least one new innovative feature for CommCare to better serve U.S. based CHW programs, partner with 3 organizations or health centers, and pilot its cost savings/ROI calculator tool with several organizations attempting to show increased cost effectiveness and cost savings from using CommCare.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
By second quarter 2014, Dimagi and MHP will have developed and piloted at least one new innovative feature for CommCare (e.g. custom reports and dashboards for CHW managers, web-based case management user interfaces for care providers in clinics, or custom summary screens for health care providers). By second quarter 2014, three health centers and/or other organizations in the U.S. will have contracted with MHP to implement CommCare. By fourth quarter 2014, MHP will pilot its cost savings/ROI calculator tool with several organizations demonstrating the increased cost effectiveness and cost savings from using CommCare. Dimagi and MHP will aim to engage at least three new health centers or other organizations each year after 2014.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To our knowledge, CommCare has the largest evidence base of any mHealth platform and is continually releasing new research with Dimagi’s academic partners as well. There are over 15 peer-reviewed papers on CommCare. Several additional studies are underway to evaluate the impact of CommCare and related systems.
CommCare has been shown to improve care across four dimensions: access to care; experience of care; quality of care; and cost of care. As described above, we have shown improvements in all these metrics (citations available upon request):
-ACCESS: SMS reminders increased timeliness of CHW visits by 85%
-EXPERIENCE: Multimedia improves worker performance, confidence, & ability to engage
-QUALITY: Decision support increases adherence to protocols by 20%
-COST: Dimagi implemented CommCare in MHP’s domestic programs in 2012. As a result, CommCare produced a 55% operating cost savings. These cost savings are largely due to a reduction in time spent on data coding and entry.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
To measure cost savings and cost effectiveness, MHP will use the ROI/cost savings calculator with partner organization who implement CommCare.
To demonstrate increased experience and quality of the outreach services provided by the CHWs, MHP will plan to administer baseline and endline test surveys to CHWs. This survey will focus on the CHWs ability (experience) to use the phone during a beneficiary visit and how the phone affects their understanding (quality) of the focus topics. We have created templates with standard questions and formats that can be adapted for these CHWs.
Additional metrics:
- % of CHWs meeting the target duration of counseling session
- % of visits that occur on time
- % of CHWs showing improvement in test surveys after using CommCare for 2+ months
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Dimagi has implemented CommCare in 35 countries throughout the world. The Dimagi/MHP partnership to offer CommCare and wraparound support services to a currently-limited U.S. market – is specific to the U.S. MHP has offices in five states – Michigan, Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Washington – and in 2012 provided Training/Technical Assistance (T/TA) to 62 health centers in 25 states and Puerto Rico. The target market for Dimagi and MHP’s joint venture will not be limited to these states, though they will serve as a starting point.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
By creating new, innovative features for CommCare and supporting health centers and other organizations throughout the U.S. in integrating CommCare into their operations and measuring its effectiveness, Dimagi and MHP aim to increase the extent to which CHW initiatives in the U.S. use mobile technology to lower costs, improve health care, and, ultimately, improve health outcomes.
Within the next three years, our goal is for 9 new health centers and/or organizations in the U.S. to implement CommCare. We expect that implementing CommCare will enable each participating health center or organization to increase its own social impact.

Dimagi is currently funded by SaaS product sales and services revenue on private and public grant projects. MHP’s T/TA efforts are currently funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration/Bureau of Primary Health Care and the Office of Minority Health. The financing strategy for Dimagi and MHP’s joint venture will involve both grant funding and generated revenue.
MHP and Dimagi will pursue grant funding to create and implement additional CommCare innovations for use in the new U.S. market, such as: custom reports and dashboards that can be used by CHW managers to manage their workforces; web-based case management user interfaces to make CommCare more operationally relevant to community health workers and individual at health center (clinicians, nurses, and doctors); and custom summary screens that would give health care providers easy access to the most relevant patient information.
Dimagi and MHP’s generated revenue for this joint effort will come from contracts from FQHCs to provide CommCare and technical services support. MHP has decided to invest in a full-time National Contracts Facilitation Manager for at least the next three years to advance the agency’s generated revenue stream – including revenue generated from the joint effort with Dimagi – and is in the process of hiring for that position. Wraparound support will be offered at three different levels depending on the amount of planning, coordination, and management needed by each organization in order to produce a successful implementation of the app.

As a for-profit social enterprise, Dimagi does not receive any philanthropic income. (NOTE: we're counting grants under service contracts.)
MHP, a non-profit organization, is primarily funded by grants. In 2012, 91% of MHP’s revenue came from federal grants, 5% came from private foundation grants, and 4% came from other sources (e.g. individual donors). MHP pursues funding to support both its direct service CHW programs and its national T/TA efforts with health centers and other organizations that use the CHW model.

The upfront costs associated with actively promoting CommCare to the U.S. market include the salary and benefits of MHP’s National Contracts Facilitation Manager, the cost of developing print and digital marketing materials, and the cost of developing new CommCare features to facilitate the app’s use in the target market. MHP’s board of directors has already committed to investing reserves to hire the National Contracts Facilitation Manager and support the position for the next three years (after that time, the expectation is that the position will pay for itself). MHP will also invest time and resources up front to develop and produce the aforementioned marketing materials. Dimagi and MHP are actively pursuing grant funding to support the development and pilot-testing of new CommCare features. The cost of providing CommCare and wraparound support services to participating health centers and other organizations will be covered entirely by contracts from these organizations, resulting in a sustainable long-term business model.

Commuinty Health Solutions:Transforming Lung Health in Asia through Social Enterprise
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a crippling disease that infects over 8.7 million people and leads to 1.4 million deaths every year across the globe.TB control is a key MDG target and is of immense public health benefit,therefore programs across the developing world are largely driven by the public sector and financially supported by international donors.Whilst facing inherent constraints in sustainability,such programs fail to tap into exisiting resources provided by the private sector in emerging markets that have mushroomed in response to poor quality of care at government facilities.
Our innovation is part of a third wave of a jointly funded grant by UNITAID and the Stop TB Partnership that focuses on mass screening and detection for TB,diabetes and other lung health diseases whilst working on social business principles to achieve sutainability.In addition to mass-screening in the private sector,we are setting up state-of-the-art diagnostic facilites(including GeneXpert a revolutionary new rapid test for TB) through which suspects will be diagnosed and programmatically managed.Our intervention aims to catch these diseases early in the community and treat them at the right time before they are allowed to progress and disseminate.
Building and greatly expanding on the networks created by the first two waves of grants,our initiative will screen 9 million indiviudals in three Asian mega-cities:Karachi, Dhaka & Jakarta- all of which belong to high burden TB countries.In Pakistan this is being carried out by our newly established social enterprise: Community Health Solutions.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Traditional approaches to providing healthcare to the poor within emerging makrets have relied heavily on philanthropic models that invest in structures rather than systems.We are utilizing existing networks of private providers to realign the health market which allows us to reach the kind of scale that organizations such as ours would find challenging.
Our patient-centric model maintains relations with Family Practioners whilst providing affordable diagnostics & evidence-based programmatic disease managment that is often lacking in the private sector.Additionaly, tools such as mHealth are used for data-capture,decision-support and monitoring of outcomes.Substantial grants for upfront captial investments make the disruptive potential of our innovation to existing markets distinctive.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
IRD was founded in Karachi, Pakistan where a lack of well-trained researchers, unrealistically low salaries and poor working environments that did not support innovation presented real challenges to overcome.We established an operational model where all managers in the organization are initially 100% grant-based and are primarily responsible for bringing in funding for themselves and their teams. In exchange for the risk they undertake for this responsibility,IRD managers benefit from an environment that supports innovation and experimentation while being compensated internationally competitive salaries.This helped us to attract professionals with trainings from some of the world's best global health and development programs & setup a wide range of high impact partnerships in Asia & Africa
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Since its inception,our organization has sought to blend together the expertise of these qualified professionals with the knowledge and experiences of locally based staff and community health-workers.To establish sustainted parternships with more traditionally structured organizations in the region,we have incorporated two systems that have worked for us effectively.All communications with public partners is undertaken through a pre-selected manager conversant in government-speak, and project-critical decisions are made by group consensus rather than by an individual.Additionally,IRD consists of an in-house informatics team that provides technological expertise to our research studies and programs.It is often at the confluence of these different groups where our innovations takes shape.

In the absence of agents such as vaccines, effective TB control strategies in high burden endemic countries involves "reaching out" & identifying cases within communities that otherwise may go undetected and continue to spread the disease.Traditional TB diagnostics, involving visualization of TB bacilli in sputum samples under the microscope, have remained unchanged in over 100 years.This process is time-consuming and often leads to false results despite obtaining repeated samples.In addition,identification of resistant strains through cultures can take several weeks.Co-morbidities associated with TB progression include lung diseases eg asthma,pneuomnia & COPD as well as others such as diabetes.Across all these diseases,access to care,early detection & standardized treatment is lacking.

Innovative financing for healthcare
Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
GeneXpert is a rapid diagnostic test that diagonses TB & drug-sensitivity within 2 hours thus enabling mass identification and treatment of TB cases.The cost of the test is too prohibitive for low-income populations and this also limits the number of tests that can be supported through donors.Our solution lay in mass-screening and community outreach through which sufficient number of "suspects" can be indentified for testing.Through this advanced commitment the test manufacturer was able to reduce the upfront price of the test from USD 17 to USD 10 whilst retaining sufficient profits margins.Through donor support,we offer GeneXpert testing free-of-cost to patients thus increasing access to care for poor patients whilst our business model seeks to sustain GeneXpert testing in the long-term.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
We envision to scale-up and sustain GeneXpert based TB diagnostics for the poor through a social enterprise model.Diseases associated with latent TB activation and TB progression are common within these three cities and an urgent need to provide affordable care to patients is needed.
Therefore in addition to TB, we setup mass-screening, state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and treatment programs for these conditions to provide a source of revenue.This innovative approach acknowledges the increased risk and poor outcomes of TB among such patients and improves care through integrated disease management. All revenue generated will be reinvested into the social enterprise in order to support an extensive network of community health workers and to purchase additional GeneXpert tests.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Our value proposition involves improving healthcare access and making it affordable for the poor. This includes:
-Free of cost screening for TB, Diabetes, Asthma and COPD
-Free of cost, rapid diagnostic test for TB
-Affordable, high-quality diagnostics such as Digital X-rays
-Standardized case-mangement
-Cheaper pharmacotherapy for diabetes and other diseases
-Home based treatment support through healthworkers.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our customers include individuals of all demographics within the cities of Karachi, Dhaka and Jakarta. Our primary target population is the "working-poor". These individuals can be described as those with some disposable income to spare on healthcare but are likely to suffer catastrophic financial losses through expenditure in the private sector for diseases such as TB, without interventions.We have also partnered with local governments, charitable hospitals and NGOs to refer patients that are too poor to pay for any form of healthcare.
Nearly three-quarters of all healthcare across Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia is delivered by the private sector.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Customers are reached through mass-screening activities in the private sector which are carried out by community workers.In addition, local cable TV, radio and road-side advertisments are used to inform patients of the availability of screening and diagnostic facilites.Other innovative strategies such as the use of loyalty programs and lottery-based incetives for purchasing diagnostic services are being explored by our group.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Our activities can be broadly categorized as: screening, diagnosis and treatment.Trained community-health workers screen individuals at private Family Physician (FP) clinics and hospitals using a mobile-phone app with algorithmic decision support that identifies "Suspects".These patients are referred to our diangostic facility where appropriate tests are conducted to confirm the diagnosis.Additionally, direct walk-ins to the center can also take place.The manager of each facility assigns the patient to a Treatment Support worker and refers them back to their FP (or assigns one in case of walk-ins).The treatment supporter provides home-based drug delivery,counsceling and ensure adherece to treatment and follow-up testing in line with clinically established guidelines.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
No other groups to our knowledge in the private sector are involved in screening, case detection and treatment for these diseases within these three cities at this scale.Publicily financed TB control programs are present in each of these places and are important stakeholders within our innovation.An explicit aim of this intervention is to create sustainable public-private partnerships. In particular establish referral pathways where patients that are unable to pay for our program are managed.
Our potential competitors include other private labs and diagnostic centers, including ones for large tertiary care hospitals that frequently have lab collection units across the city.Whilst our VP is distinguished through free GeneXpert testing,pricing of other tests need to be carefully devised.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Logisitcal challenges of organizing diverse teams across three different cities has been a major challenge.Political tensions and security constraints, in particular for Karachi are a continuing source of concern and have led to dealys.
Organizationally, recruitment of appropriatly qualified staff has been difficult especially given high expenditures and low-proft margins in low-income populations. Planning ahead and anticipating future requirements have been the key to success whilst maintaing electronic documentation for processes such as SOPs have been useful to share across the three locations.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
We aim to replicate our existing model of harnessing the private healthsector for improved TB case detection and management to other parts of Karachi through the social enterprise model. Similar social businesses are being setup in Dhaka and Jakarta which allows for an extension of our learnings to other countries and provides a natural growth startegy in the coming years.
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Initial captial investments supported through grants allow for expansion locally where as strong linkages with in-country partner organizations in Dhaka and Jakarta allow us to take the social enterprise model forward to these cities.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
Our major growth objective is to reach screening targets in order to "funnel" sufficent number of TB suspects into our diagnostic center.Identification of a large number of suspects will be required to maintain the low-cost of GeneXpert tests which is based on an advanced market commitment.Similar growth will be required for the remaining diseases since TB diagnosis and treatment will be free.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Over 1 million individuals were screened as part of the intial two TB Reach grants in Karach and Dhakai.For the third wave beginning in 2013, we aim to screen 9 million people over the course of 3 years in all 3 cities.Other key milestones for diagnosis and treatment include:
Suspects Identified for TB: 800,000
GeneXpert tests Consumed: 120,000
TB Drug Senstive Pts Treated: 18,000
TB Drug Resitant Pts Treated: 950

Nearly 0.5 million individuals were screened as part of our first wave of private-sector engagement strategy. An Impact Evaluation of this initiative at our study site in Karachi was recently documented in the medical journal, Lancet Infectious Disease. Overall, tuberculosis case notification doubled over the course of one year relative to the change to the control area. Case notifications at Indus Hospital, our primary implementation partner increased by 3·77 times for adults and 7·32 times for children; making it the second largest TB facility in the country in a short span of time.

¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Methods for qunatifying impact of the program will include:
-Number of individuals screened.
-Number of suspects identified
-Treatment success rates for TB
-Number of individuals on treatment for chornic conditition such as diabetes, asthma and COPD.
Impact evaluations of the program will be carried out using regression analyses similar to those conducted previously and comparing case detection and treatment success in control populations.Social impact will also be assessed through qualitative surveys of patients and healthcare providers.

Revenue generation will take place through fees for diangostic tests and treatment management for diseases other than tuberculosis.Pricing for tests vary across sites and will range from USD 3-5 for Xrays, USD 1-3 for spirometery tests,USD 5-15 for HbA1c (for diabetes). Finanical incentives for screeners are linked to increased referrals to the diagnostics facilites where as valdiations at the centers will monitor abuse.
Currently only treatment programs for TB are in place and patients are not charged for services.As part of our scale-up, patients will be recruited into treatment programs for other diseases where we hope to provide quality home-based care through treatment support workers for diseases such as diabetes.We anticipate signficant revenue generation through this process

The share of philanthropy in our business model is described for the first year of operations where we expect signficant costs due to investments required to setup diagnostic centers and program teams.
Our philanthropic model at present is limited to free GeneXpert tests and capital investment for setting up diagnostic centers and program implementation.We anticipate increased reveune generation in the second and third years of operation by the end of which we aim to "break even" and enable operations beyond our grant horizon.
We are also seeking to expand our treatment-end business model through additional donor investments and CSR initiatives.

The key feature of our financial startegy involves dealing in large numbers.We hope to generate systems efficiencies through economies of scale and also to maximize profits from our diagnostic facilites with passage of large patient volumes.This setup enables us to receive subsidized costs for diangostic tests as well as pharamceuticals to support treatment programs.
Future strategies will build upon learnings from other projects at IRD including schemes such as, lottery based cash transfers for vaccination completion, awards for completion of treatment and SMS Reminders for followup testing. We are therefore developing such Loyalty Programs for patients in order to retain clients within our system.Whilst these can help in longer-term financing, they will also ensure treatment adherence and compliance for our targeted diseases which are either chronic or have protracted treatment regimens.
The social enterprise will also setup co-opeartives in order to maximze community ownership of the diagnostic centers as well as management of screening and treatment programs.Under consideration are additional revenue strategies such as employment for women that have completed TB treatment in the handicraft cottage industry,counscelling sessions for adolescent patients and expanding services to include pediatric healthcare.A recurring theme across our financial strategies is that innovations are based on scientific evidence--women and children are more susceptible to TB infections where as these diseases are under-investigated in adolescents.

Driving my car, I was thinking how to involve more actors to daily health, And I remembered the group we created to help scare resources people at university... They didn't have money but, they had the opportunity to buy clothing or goods at local markets. So, I thought how awesome will be to make all what you can buy a currency for health. This way motivate companies to do good for health,

All what you buy now is currency for your health
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
We understand that Patients don´t have enough money to pay for medical treatments, This happens in Private, Public and mixed health systems. Also, money expended in health increases exponentially over the years world wide. So, this constant yearly increase compromises monthly family budget, specially when it comes to expend money out of the pocket. Thus, what we will do is to help patients to collect money to be used as 'money out of the pocket health expenditure' by transferring credit/debit card points to an account that they can use only for health purposes. Moreover, any purchase that they make at markets associated with our company, also accumulates health points. This model permits involvement of companies that sells products in any field with customers health. We love Preventive Medicine, so as points may expire at some moment we will encourage patients to go for preventive medicine before their health points (money) expires.
This is related to a context where the lack of transparency in health is overwhelming. Because patients don`t have a single place to find doctors and chose between different medical offers. Furthermore, single doctors and small clinics, have difficulties reaching patients because marketing at big scale can only be generated by big medical corporations. And existing online health directories are limited, do not promote health professionals neither provides info to patients. So doctors lack a place to promote themselves.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Our model is based on helping people to collect money to be used as 'money out of the pocket health expenditure'. We don't know any company helping people to decrease expenses generated in this specific area. We only know health insurances, complementary health insurances or other similar products. Based in a preventive medicine view we help doctors to be located by patients even when they don't feel seek. Each Patient has a profile where they organize their favorite doctors and accumulate Health Points. So patients have a health point saving account to pay for health and receive reminders for medical appointments in a yearly basis. Also, each doctor has a profile with an online schedule showing their curriculum and medical promos the offer to patients, eliminating information asymmetries.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
We developed a web platform for these purposes with the latest technology, and an easy scalable business organization structure that can reach many people in diverse situations. we are focusing in the Chilean market first because is a very good testing market. later we want to expand to other countries.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
we use the Lean principles promoted by Eric Ries and the Steve Blank`s teachings about startups. both of them are the pioneers in teaching how to build companies in any field and not just teaching how to manage a company that was already builded.

We provide a single website that helps patients to find doctors and pay for medical treatment. Based in a preventive medicine view. Also we help doctors to be found by patients. Each Patient has a profile where they organize their favorite doctors and accumulate Health Points out of purchases on local markets or by transferring credit/debit card points. So patients have a health point saving account to pay for health. Also, each doctor has a profile with an online schedule showing their curriculum and medical promos they are offering to patients. Many doctors offer first appointments for free because that is a business opportunity for them, and a lot of patients don`t have enough money to pay for first appointments but they do for a small treatment. So, we want to connect both.

there is some competition like: www.zocdoc.com, www.yepdoc.com, www.bookmydoctor.com but what we think is that no one has approached the problem from a preventive view as we are doing it, and also with the level of innovation that we are promoting. they are not a problem, actually i can learn from them. the market world wide is so big that there is enough space for many companies doing the same.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
the collusion of health insurance companies and hospital/medical centers systems. a recent study by a Chilean University shows that there is a vertical integration of many actors in health. This is related to the lack of competitors in the system and also the information asymmetries that exist in health.

Estrategia diversificada.
Explica tu enfoque filantrópico con más detalle
We think that doctors should earn money with people healthy, that is the only way how society will succeed related to health. Now a days, there is an ethical problem with doctors, because they are only focused on treatment based medicine, and all the incentives are located there. We believe in changing that view for a preventive one. And create the right incentives in doctors and also patients to promote health and improve it to the next level. We believe, that if we create the correct environment with the correct incentives towards health promotion, people will not be confronted to health access only because of money matters. Prevention is the cheapest ways to improve health but as it does generate income for physicians they are not interested. Changing that we will start the transition.

From the experiences of the team members in a two months village stay in 2 states of Gujarat and Uttarakhand in India, the team members realized the lack of awareness regarding menstrual hygiene in the women of rural areas, and the need to promote it. Through constant brainstorming within the group and with experts, the group found IVRS and SHG model as the best solution to solve the issue!

Promoting Menstrual Hygiene in Rural Areas by use of IVRS Technology
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Lack of proper menstrual hygiene has been a concern for many a social activists and those who wish to bring about some positive change in the lives of the rural women. However, lack of awareness, issues regarding accessibility and affordability, etc have been the cause for women not using products like sanitary napkins. We have identified all these issues and come up with the solution of providing low cost sanitary napkins to the rural women after providing them proper awareness regarding the importance of menstrual hygiene through the use of IVRS(Interactive Voice Response System) technology that would give generalized and personalized voice call services. Apart from spreading awareness IVRS would also be used for increasing sales as the system can be used to record orders. The entire plan would be implemented with the help of SHGs and a local NGO which would enable effective implementation and results. Thus the innovation is in implementation of the idea through integration of all available resources and technology.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Many NGOs have tried promoting menstrual hygiene by putting up a low cost sanitary napkin manufacturing unit in the rural area. However, the issue with menstrual hygiene is not providing low cost pads alone, but also making the rural women aware of the importance of using sanitary napkins and about menstrual hygiene in general. Many women still consider it a taboo to use sanitary napkins and have beliefs and misconceptions regarding it too.
In our model, we have therefore tried to solve the problem of lack of awareness by giving generalized and personalized calls to the women of the rural areas regarding menstrual hygiene through use of IVRS technology. Apart from this, personal counselling and information sharing would be done by the SHGs through the support of the local NGOs.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
The success of the model lies in the fact that the local NGOs which know the whole and soul of the village and those which have a good rapport with the women of the village would be able to better create awareness and be able to convince the women for purchase.The model involves not only creating awareness, but also providing a source of dignified livelihood to the women of the villages by the setting up of a low cost sanitary napkin manufacturing plant. With the growing reach of multimedia by the mediums like television and movies, and by the strong presence of women NGOs, the women of rural area are now better prepared to accept concepts like menstrual hygiene use of sanitary napkins. Also the areas which would be selected would have high mobile penetration among the households.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
The first low cost sanitary napkin manufacturing machine was built by Muruganantham of Jayashree Industries has reported flaws in terms of low quality by many a users and therefore, the project which is taken up by many NGOs haven't reported much success.
We therefore aim to keep innovating and improving on the machine for better quality of napkins for which we are already in talks with Aakar Innovations which is making an improved version of the machine.
Apart from this, a high-tech but easy to use and low in cost application of IVRS is being worked out so as to create awareness as well as sales for the sanitary napkins.

The awareness on menstrual hygiene and usage of sanitary napkins is virtually absent in rural areas. Poor menstrual hygiene can cause fungal infections, repeated infections to RTI, cervical cancer and vulnerable to infertility. Other prominent diseases include Yeast Infection, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea etc.
By creating enough awareness regarding menstrual hygiene's importance and use of sanitary napkins, we try to prevent such chronic diseases from happening in the rural areas.

Integrating Human Resources by using the SHG model
Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
The plan starts with spreading awareness and knowledge dissemination regarding menstrual hygiene to the rural women with the help of SHGs. The training regarding the same would be provided to the SHGs with the help of NGOs by stressing on the use of sanitary napkins & its advantages. Once the basic awareness is created, the SHGs would be given the low cost sanitary pad manufacturing machines and training to use them. Once the production process starts, the marketing and sales channel would be built with the help of SHG members, ASHA workers, ANMs etc using the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) model.Thus its a PPP model where the Sakhi Mandals (SHGs) would be organized in tasks of production, spreading awareness, promoting and selling these in their respective areas using the IVRS.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Vision: To promote menstrual hygiene among the women of rural areas in India.
Objective: To remove problems related to the issue of menstrual health among the women of rural areas.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Value for money in terms of low cost but good quality sanitary napkins being easily accessible through the IVRS technology as well as the SHG model network.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our target customers would be – women and adolescent girls in the age category of 14-45 years, living in rural areas, semi urban areas and in urban slums; and non–users and infrequent users of sanitary napkins.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Two major mediums would be:
1) Personal communication through NGOs and SHGs.
2) IVRS Technology - Generalized and personalized call and message services to pass on information and awareness in the rural women.
Apart from this, conventional mediums like - newspapers, community radio, leaflets, hooters, street plays, etc would also be used.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Organizing meetings of the SHG leaders who would in turn pass on the information and awareness to their SHG groups, making generalized calls promoting menstrual hygiene through IVRS, making of low cost sanitary napkins in the assigned units and specialized machine, registering sales through IVRS and delivery of sanitary napkins by the ASHA workers, ANM workers and SHG members.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
We do not have any competitors as such. The big brands like P & G and Johnson & Johnson would not compete in the low cost sanitary napkin market. Therefore, there is no existing competition as such. The peers would include organizations like Tribhuvandas Foundation or Smile Foundation who wish to do similar work in the rural areas.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
The major challenge includes changing the mindset of the rural women which is backed by too many superstitions and beliefs. Apart from this, to improve on quality of the product and still to deliver results at a low price would be a challenge.
Another bigger challenge is to develop an effective but easy to use IVRS technology application that could be used by the rural women easily but at an affordable rate.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
We plan to start with a small taluka in the Kutch District of Gujarat called Mundra and cover all its 60 villages in the initial phase along with the help of the local women NGO there called - Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan (KMVS). We then plan to move forward to other talukas of kutch, then other districts of Gujarat and then subsequently other parts of India.

The key growth objective is to do work at a slower pace but at 100% effective rate!
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?

Since our project is in ideation and pilot phase, we do not have any quantitative figures to show the impact, but we have got recognition from various organizations like - Concern India Foundation, Aakar Innovations, etc who support our project idea.
The idea got a scholarship entry at the Sankalp Vilgrow foudation Awards and a mention at the Unconvention Summit 2013, and also a special recognition by the judges of the event Inspire India at IIT Bombay's Techfest 2013.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Yes. The model is simple and easily replicable in all areas where a women NGO is present, and mobile penetration in the region is decent enough for IVRS technology to work.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We plan to cover the entire state of Gujarat in first 3 years by partnerships and tie-ups with multiple NGOs, and thus provide livelihood as well as solve issues of menstrual health for the women of the rural areas in Gujarat.

The initial funds/grants would be obtained from NABARD’s district rural innovation fund and other schemes under state and central government for Rural Development. Apart from this, the SHGs would bring in their personal money as funds for the extra money that would be needed as investment.

Though the initial funding would come from government scheme funds, NABARD funding, etc, with the passage of time and creation of adequate awareness, the units would be sustainable on their own as the demand of sanitary napkins is recurrent and the markets targeted (rural areas) have huge potential and scope for growth.
Thus, the project would remain sustainable for its entire life time by its own revenue generation,

Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Our goal is to improve access to rehabilitation and improve the quality of resources patients are given to self manage the rehabilitation process. The idea is simple; empower patients and their family/community members to better manage the physical rehabilitation process. Our innovation is to develop a technology driven process to implement sustainable models of rehabilitation are delivery.
The Problem – Stroke, our first area of focus, is the leading cause of disability globally. Developed countries struggle to provide adequate amounts of therapy to patients who require it, while access in developing counties is limited or non-existent.
The Technology – StrokeLink is the first of a suite of mobile applications that correspond to patients specific needs. StrokeLink empowers stroke survivors and their family members by providing them with information and tools to help them regain their independence. Specifically, StrokeLink provides patients with therapy programs containing photos, videos, written and audio instructions as well as the ability to generate custom therapy programs using a mobile devices camera.
The Model – Together with a therapist, patients and their family members can capture therapy programs that can then be engaged with independently or with the assistance of others. For patients who live in rural areas, or who cant afford therapy, or have limited access to a rehab specialist StrokeLink delivers a valuable take home resource allowing them to capture the most value from the time they have with a specialist.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Our model of care delivery is unique in that is focuses on empowering patients, family members and community members in the delivery of ongoing care while most focus on providing additional human resources to tackle the problem. Our technology is innovative in its support of this model by allowing for the creation and sharing of user generated content. This capability allows for the effective communication of complex therapy plans by using various types of media that will ultimately enhance communication across language, health literacy and cognitive barriers. Once understood, therapy plans can be implemented effectively on an ongoing basis in order to increase the amount of therapy being received and ultimately improve functional outcomes.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Success of our innovation is dependent on family members and community members advocating for the health and recovery of their loved ones. While we cannot change the availability to rehabilitation specialists we can better equip members of the community to care for others, this model requires some initiative on behalf of the community. Our technology delivers value without any access to a rehab specialist however is best used in conjunction with formal care, however infrequent it may be.
Continued adoption of mobile technology is required for our solution to scale. In Canada this has occurred in two ways; either patients have individual access to mobile devices or organizations provide communal access, a more likely model for developing countries.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
As a technology company, continuous innovation is critical to our success. We are heavily dependent on trends in mobile technology. Growth will require that our software run on all hardware devices (Android and iOS) and that it be internationally accessible in multiple languages. From a content perspective we need to ensure that our software platform is hosting the best and most accurate of information available to patients. This is ensured through partnerships with the leading patient advocacy organization in each country. Growth outside of these factors includes ensuring that our platform is flexible enough to allow for the generation and communication of multiple content types as the trends in digital media evolve.

Disability, facing 1/7 of the world’s population is an important development issue with an increasing body of evidence showing that persons with disabilities experience worse socioeconomic outcomes and poverty than persons without disabilities. With these ever-increasing volumes, access to care is limited and the quality of care resources are archaic. The most commonly reported tools used by clinicians are hand-written notes and sketches to communicate ‘accurate’ instructions to the patients and caregivers. In order to increase access to care and improve communication between patients and clinicians, there is a need for tools which provide access to quality content in an engaging and meaningful way.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
In line with world community-based rehabilitation guidelines, our suite of mobile applications, the first being StrokeLink, are designed to empower patients facing disability and their family members throughout their care journey by providing them with access to information and tools to help them regain their independence. With StrokeLink, in addition to providing a digital library of information relating to stroke, the app works with patients to set goals, provide access to therapy programs and monitor their progress over time. Using StrokeLink Capture, a specialized tool that allows clinicians to build custom therapy programs with ease, patients leave the hospital with highly personalized therapy programs communicated effectively to them and those helping them with therapy.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
Our vision is to improve access to rehabilitative care and reduce global disability. Our objectives are to improve patient outcomes as well as improve the utilization of healthcare resources throughout the care continuum. We are doing this by empowering patients and family members with high quality tools to effectively manage their own health while at the same time providing clinicians (therapists) with an efficient way to prescribe therapy programs.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Addressing the problem of global disability involves the development of unique and strong value propositions for each stakeholder involved:
For healthcare providers who face the challenge of providing services for a growing population of individuals facing disability, mobile apps, like StrokeLink, allow for the optimization of healthcare resources by better enabling patients and their families to take on an active role in therapy. Clinicians are better equipped to effectively and efficiently communicate and monitor therapy plans while patients benefit from an enhanced understanding of the steps needed to regain independence through engaging independently in therapy in a community based setting.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Our primary customers are individuals affected with a disability and their family members. Ultimately, in order to create positive change in rehabilitative care, it is important that we engage all key stakeholders involved which include clinicians, healthcare providers and healthcare associations in addition to patients and their families.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
A channel partnership strategy will be taken to reach our customers and facilitate growth into new markets. This strategy entails partnering with the leading patient advocacy organisation representing a form of disability in a geographic region. For example this could mean the MS Society of Canada, to reach MS patients in Canada, or the Mongolian Stroke Association, to reach stroke patients in Mongolia. This partnership provides us with key suppliers of validated content and strong existing channels to reach patients. In return we provide a white-labelled mobile platform to improve access to specialized rehabilitation resources and a proportion of the revenues generated.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Software Development - Building our platform and suite of mobile applications.
Partnership Development - Creating content and distribution partnerships with national patient advocacy organizations.
Relationship Development - Marketing to Healthcare Professionals and securing endorsement from experts in each field.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Our main competitor in the market is the most commonly reported method for the prescription of rehabilitation plans: the hand drawn stick figure! There are also substitutes for our technology including the multiple web-based exercise prescription tools, but these ultimately lack the flexibility that clinicians require and are removed from the patient-clinician interaction. Both these processes reinforce a highly prescriptive environment while our tools seeks to foster a more personal and collaborative care model whereby patients are incorporated into the exercise prescription process.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
The biggest challenges we are currently facing relates to geographic growth and working with hospital timelines and budgets. Entering new markets requires both strong channel strategies as well as a clear understanding of the unique regulatory environments that exist in the region. Our partnership channel strategy will help us overcome both of these by utilizing existing channels to reach patients as well as connecting us with local experts to ensure compliance with regulations.
Our clinician-users are passionate about the possibilities that our platform can create in terms of more collaborative care models, but often lack the authority to make purchase decisions. Moving forward, we plan to empower a large network of clinicians as key stakeholders in our change process.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
In order to capture a larger portion of the market our partnership strategy is critical to grow both geographically and across disease states. This strategy will provide us with capital up-front, from licensing our technology, in order to facilitate additional development across technology platforms to increase global accessibility.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date we have performed three pilot studies
Pilot 1 - Inpatient Rehab Setting (Hamilton, ON)
- Creation of a collaborative therapy environment (Reduction in social isolation)
- Increased opportunities for practice time (Increased intensity and duration of therapy, leading to better outcomes)
- Improved communication of therapy instructions to patients and families, setting them up for independent therapy
Pilot 2 - Outpatient Rehab Setting (Calgary, AB)
- Improved communication of therapy instructions to patients and families
- Training of family members and volunteers on complex therapy protocols (Capacity Building), developing long term behavior change
Pilot 3 - Community Based Rehab (Calgary, AB)
- Empowerment of patients and families in their home environment (Research shows this is the optimal environment for recovery)
- Improved communication of therapy instructions to patients and families
- Increased opportunity for independent practice in absence of therapist presence
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
As a technology based solution we have the ability to collect a large amount of both qualitative and quantitative information.
Quantifying our ability to increase access to care, we are measuring:
- Number of active users on our platform
- Number of hours of therapy delivered by our tool (daily & weekly)
- Number of personal goals achieved on our platform
Patient and family empowerment and engagement with therapy in order to foster a community-based rehabilitation is next to be quantified. Anecdotally, clinicians have reported strong improvements in all care settings. Moving forward, we plan to measure these capacity building outcomes by using:
- Patient Activation Measures (PAM)
- Perceived Self-Efficacy Measures
- Patient Satisfaction Surveys
- Functional Outcome Measures
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
There is nothing stopping our solution from working in any geographic region. Access to new regions is achieved through our partnership strategy whereby we work with local organisations. Because our technology is a platform, capable of hosting multiple forms of media, developed by or co-developed with the partnering organisation, considerations for both language and cultural differences in the content are taken on by the partner. Furthermore, the ability for users to generate their own personalized content on our platform, in any setting, in any language ensures cultural flexibility, even here in North America.
While access to technology is still lacking in some regions, we know it is becoming more prevalent and is one of the most anticipated game changers for health care.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In the next three years, we will be positioned as a top technology choice for physical rehabilitation, used globally to implement innovative models for community based rehabilitation. Having reached our objectives to develop over fifteen applications with partner organisations, build a thriving clinician network and develop on all technology platforms to increase accessibility, our impact will be to create and sustain ongoing reductions in global physical disability.

Our current financing strategy consists of securing private investment and grants in order to sustain our working capital requirements until our revenue generated income enables us to break even. Our current break even point based on our projections as well as team and operational growth is slated for year two (2014).
To date our funding has come from the following sources:
• $50 000 (36 Investments)
• $30 000 (FedDev Ontario)
• $30 000 (Coral CEA)
• $18 000 (NRC-IRAP)
Moving forward we anticipate raising an angel investment round of approximately $350, 000, with a goal to close this by the end of May 2013. The balance of our working capital requirements (20-30K / month) will be offset by grants, tax credits and income.

Explica tu estrategia de generación de ingresos más detalladamente
Revenue is generated in two different ways. First, through the licensing of our technology to our partner organisations. Each mobile application can be thought of as a platform that is ready to be branded and filled with content specific to the disease state and geographic region represented by our partner. In developing these partnerships we charge an initial configuration fee to set up the white-labeled application as well as an annual licensing fee to maintain the solution.
Second, each mobile application is then available through the app store (or equivalent) where patients and their family members can download it for free and have the option to upgrade to a premium subscription to access specialized therapy and monitoring features. Revenue from this upgrade is shared with the partner

Based on our model, capital up-front will be required to develop of rock star team of innovators, builders, hackers and hustlers. This will be achieved through a combination of private investment and grant opportunities.
In the short term, we will also continue to develop revenue by selling StrokeLink to patients and families in Canada and the US with the support of our local network of professional advocates. During which time we will be working on our partnership strategies to facilitate further growth.
Due to alignment between our objectives and those of our potential strategic partners, we anticipate that our revenue model will be sustainable within the first two years of operation. Licensing fees from these partners will consist of 30% of our revenue while the remaining 70% will come from patients and families to which the joint applications will be marketed towards. By ensuring that the majority of consumer marketing efforts are taken on by the partner, we can invest more in our core competency: designing and developing patient-centered applications to empower individuals with disabilities.
Beyond the first two years, we anticipate that the income generated from our licensing contracts and consumer sales will sustain our continued growth.

Rang De is a pioneering web based social initiative that supports rural entrepreneurs with access to cost effective loans. Through an online portal, Rang De enables individuals to become social investors by lending Rs. 100 or more to an entrepreneur of their choice.
Since January 2008, Rang De has reached out to over 20,000 entrepreneurs across 14 states and has disbursed a little more than Rs.130 Million with the help of around 4,700 individuals across the world.
Rang De leverages the internet and crowdfunding model to lower the cost of microcredit. Rang De provides loans at interest rates that range from 5% flat p.a.(9% APR) to 10% flat p.a.(18% APR).
Our goal is to reach out to half a million low income households in the next 5 years.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
In the next year, Rang De's top three priorities are as follows:
1) Create Brand recall value for Rang De among the urban middle class in India
2) Reach an inflection point in terms of social investors who invest on Rang De
3) A sustainable strategy for engaging the diaspora across the world

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
At Rang De, our biggest challenge has been to acquire a social investor for the first time. It is here that the progress is painfully slow, Our retention rates are extremely high with very few people wanting to leave the platform once they join our community of social investors. Our project therefore is to come up with a sustainable strategy and remove entry barriers for people to join Rang De. We believe a multi-pronged approach is needed for this.
Similarly, we believe that we can do a lot better in terms of positioning ourselves . Rang De is distinct and unique from other peer to peer lending models. We need to think of ways in which we can position Rang De and showcase the advantages and uniqueness of our offering.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
We hope we will be able to benefit with a sustainable strategy for customer acquisition and improve the product and service offering to our customers. Support from American Express will thus be focused on addressing the current challenges of the organisation with regard to customer acquisition.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Rang De has been using a combination of offline and online strategies to acquire and retain social investors. We use digital marketing - SEM and Social Media to get people to the platform, While this has been the key strategy to acquire customers, We have also adopted various strategies to retain customers. Here are a few initiatives of Rang De that are aimed at customer retention:
Social Accounting : To build transparency
Field Visits : Experiential marketing that helps social investors understand the impact of their contribution

To engage social investors meaningfully as brand ambassadors for Rang De
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Since January 2008, Rang De has reached out to over 20,000 low income entrepreneurs across 14 Indian states and has disbursed a little over Rs.130 Million with the help of around 4,750 individuals across the world. The entrepreneurs supported by Rang De are individuals who do not have access to credit. Their only recourse previously was a local money lender charging exorbitant interest rates thus making them indebted. Rang De provides a realistic opportunity for individuals to come out of poverty. By leveraging the internet and the peer to peer model, Rang De raises social investments from the civil society and provides access to credit at interest rates that are unheard of. More than 50% of the individuals funded by Rang De are first time borrowers and more than 90% are women.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
We would like social investing to become a way of life and engage thousands of individuals across the world as social investors - each of them investing as little Rs. 100 to connect to a rural household. The Rang De Model has now been recognised as a feasible model. The organisation currently needs to increase the number of social investors who contribute through the platform.

It will give us extra support and tools in a sensitive time - while we are launching our debut product and need the outmost outreach amongst an extremely needy population of very special kids, most of them non-verbal, and that are facing an immense challenge touching or fine-pointing - therefore allowing them, many of them for the first time, the ability to use tablets and smartphones for increased communication, learning, exploring, self-expression, and beter self-direction - leading to a more independent life.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
GPI is committed to solving two global challenges: the decline of quality international news and empowerment of women.
A number of factors separate GPI’s work from others in the field. Foremost among them is GPI’s unique training-to-employment program. While many international development and media organizations provide training, few offer opportunities for on-going practical application of learned skills. GPI not only teaches traditional reporting skills, digital literacy and advanced writing skills, but each woman who completes the training program receives an offer of employment at a living wage and goes on to work for GPI’s signature publication, the Global Press Journal.
GPI has trained and employed 133 women as professional journalists across 26 developing countries.
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
GPI’s top three priorities in the next year are to (1) launch the Global Press Journal’s new syndication service to market our unique content to news outlets around the globe, enabling dramatic growth in readership and potential for social impact. Syndication will also allow GPI to move towards greater sustainability through earned revenue generation; (2) invest in the continued professional development of GPI trainees and Journal reporters by providing advanced training to every reporter in our network; and (3) equip every reporter with a laptop, camera, and elevated internet access, enabling increased multimedia training and news coverage.
Need #1
Message & Brand Strategy
Need #2
Digital Marketing Strategy
Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
We are segmenting the GPI brand to include the newly created Global Press Journal in order to elevate our identity as a world class news agency. Together, the Global Press Institute, Global Press Journal, and Global Press News Service will demonstrate that the basic problems of the news industry – quality, ethics, source access, and economics – can be solved with a low-cost solution.
The Journal will give readers a unique news experience by offering a better reader experience. A new syndication platform, the News Service, will market unique content to news outlets around the world, increasing social impact (by drawing more readers to the Journal’s content) and long-term organizational sustainability (by monetizing our news product). Finally, the Institute will continue to focus on training and empowering women.
Visitors come to the current website for a variety of reasons, but the mixture of the nonprofit message and original news content is confusing and diminishes the value of our journalism. Brand segmentation will change that, but due to the complexity of our branding we need expertise to develop the right strategy for refining and executing it well.
1.
Creative, collaborative working style and perspective
2.
Accountability and reliability
3.
Honesty and professionalism
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Brand strategy and digital marketing strategy will focus on the entire organization, which is critical to the success of GPI’s new brand segmentation and the launch of our syndication platform. These two types of support will affect all parts of the organization, from our news syndication sales to our staff development and internal identity.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Yes, GPI has repositioned its brand before. A few years ago, we changed our name from the Press Institute for Women in the Developing World to the Global Press Institute to improve our branding and shift the perception of GPI as a primarily women’s empowerment organization to one focused first and foremost on journalism. We did not engage a consultant for that process, but we have worked with outside consultants on web development, organizational strategy and management, impact evaluation, and development strategy, and we have received pro bono support on a handful of occasions.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
More than 25% of GPI stories in the last two years have catalyzed direct action, sparking social protest, provoking international attention to issues first covered by GPI, and even changing laws in two countries. For example, in 2011, when the Parliament of Nepal passed an anti-discrimination law regarding inter-caste marriages, the Prime Minister’s legal team credited a GPI reporter with forcing the issue into the national dialogue.
GPI’s 2012 reporter survey demonstrated the impact on the lives of our reporters: 84% said that they are more respected in their communities; 90% said they have a sense of transformational personal accomplishment; 100% reported having a greater sense of basic journalism principles and ethics after GPI training; and 79% reported greater computer literacy.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
GPI aims to increase demand for our news coverage, grow our readership, and deepen our reader engagement as a result of having a clearer brand segmentation and digital marketing strategy, all of which would ultimately contribute to catalyzing social change and creating greater local and international awareness about the developing world.

Neighborsations is an easy, free way to make closer friends. A website that enables people to make friends in their neighborhood and prompts them to take their online connection offline, we ask users 4 questions about their interests and skills and then show them who in the neighborhood shares those interests. Although we have plenty of online contact with people regardless of location, we have lost that sense of community we crave. A recent study showed 1 in 5 reported adults feel lonely on a regular basis and the average American has only 4 close contacts.

Based on your first choice of the eight technical categories you selected above, what is your specific project need? Please be specific!
Neighborsations has been validating the idea continually while developing the product. We have conducted a survey about the problems of meeting people in neighborhoods and the desire (or lack thereof) to do so. We participated in a Lean Startup workshop to execute customer interviews. Finally, we partnered with a local neighborhood festival to provide neighbor matches to festivalgoers. As the product develops, we continue to do customer development interviews and research to ensure we are focusing on the right pieces of this issue, however we know that our digital footprint could be significantly stronger. We need to capitalize on SEO, engage with other blogs, and execute a social media strategy that connects to the rest of our brand involving both local residents and influential bloggers and leaders in the DC neighborhoods.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
Neighborsations is a company that only has 1 specific service, therefore support from American Express will be focused on the organization overall.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
Neighborsations is new company that has yet to focus on the above area. We have attempted different strategies related to digital marketing but have not worked with outside consultants on the issue.

2.
Engage our core base of customers so that they both love and feel connected to our brand
3.
Optimize our website's ability to show up in search results
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Neighborsations launched approximately three month ago and already has a few hundred users. Users are interacting with one another via the internal messaging system and we are starting to host small gatherings to actually get people together. The largest impact remains to be seen. If more people in a neighborhood are friends or even know each others names, the fabric of that neighborhood will change making it safer, more connected, and more of a community.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
As stated above, this company could have an enormous impact on the way people interact with others around them. Although we have plenty of online contact with people regardless of geographic location, we have lost that sense of community we crave. People are lonely but hate the idea of loneliness and dislike admitting the difficulty of making friends as an adult. In a recent study of adults, 1 in 5 reported being lonely on a regular basis and the average American has only 4 close social contacts. Neighborsations both engages community and helps people be less lonely. People want to get together in person, not just online. It is about making people feel like they are part of something larger and providing them with regular positive contributions to their life in the process.

Queremos saber acerca del momento en que dijiste “!Aja!”. Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundadores vieron el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
In 2006, Johannes Allesch and his girlfriend came back from an informed consent explanation for a complicated, major surgery. Although the doctor took his time and explained the surgery in great detail, the given explanation was just not informative enough. Right after this incident, Johannes decided to dedicate his education as a 3D-artist to medical explanation procedures. AniMedical was born.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
The AniMedes-App for mobile devices replaces outdated paper based informed consent methods by using short 3D-Animation movies. Our movies explain interventional procedures in a schematic and easily understandable way, but they are medically correct and detailed. The movies and the corresponding app are available in different languages, thus giving doctors the security that their patients really understand the procedure, even if they speak another language.
The additional utilization of a short animated film can facilitate informed consent explanations, save time and induce a clearer understanding of medical procedures with health care amateurs. This is key to patients coping with their sickness and their compliance with their chosen treatment options. The utilization of digital informed consent software can and facilitate talks between doctors and patients the overall administrative process and provide additional legal security for all participants.
Our app can completely replace the paper based informed consent in hospitals, while providing more security and information, saving time and resources. This is why AniMedes also features questionnaires about possible risks and the patient's own questions. However, the app was neither designed to replace the direct conversation between doctors and patients, nor is this a desirable effect anytime in the future. The integrated, digital approach of AniMedes uses the latest trends from tablet technologies and informational media to ensure an innovative, unprecedented product for healthcare purposes.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
The specialty of AniMedes is the focus we put on 3D-animations as an information source. AniMedical is an animation studio that focuses on medical content. While others also have that focus, the majority of patient education media is produced by conservative print publishers. Animation studios mostly work as subcontractors, with focus on doctor-centered solutions, or they don’t specialize in medicine at all. Looking at existing patient education software, most solutions are digital versions of the paper based forms that allow for no innovative, user-friendly interaction. The possibilities of modern touchpad technologies are simply omitted and ignored. AniMedes is the first app to combine validated 3D-movies with interactive questionnaires on tablet computers for both, doctors and patients.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
AniMedical and teamworx media management run the AniMedes project together, each providing their unique networks and skills of marketing, media, animation and software development. Our combination of designers, programmers, marketing specialists, and a large advisory group of doctors form a highly flexible network of skillful employees and external specialists. This allows us to develop the app fast and highly adapted to respective workloads. We keep close contact with universities to recruit well trained specialists early on. All media is created with doctors and major hospital care providers. AniMedes is getting certified, tested and cleared for hospital use, so doctors can rely on security and legal validation of any information that the app delivers to their patients.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Since AniMedes is an app on digital devices, it is subject to constant change. This means that it is of the utmost importance to always keep the product up to date and fresh, not least because the medical data needs to be accurate at all times. AniMedes is updated continually in constant collaboration with leading medical experts and according to medical guidelines.
Furthermore, the included movies and 3D-animations as well as text contents of the app are being varied to customary standards and legal requirements of each clinic or country the app is sold to. To keep the product at the cutting edge of innovation, the company will be present with branch offices at innovation/university hotspots in Austria and Germany.

Medical patient education has come to a deadlock through the extensive use of standardized methods. Officially, verbal informed consent explanations between physicians and patients are the fundament of patient information. Educational pamphlets add information with texts and pictures. In practice, these pamphlets consist of way more information on risks and side effects than on the actual treatment, therefore also being called "waivers".
Complex medical content cannot be conveyed comprehensibly by using outdated methods. Medical texts are hard to read, while increasing numbers of illiterate people will pose a big problem to doctors in the future. At the same time, doctors increasingly less time per patient. Additionally, lawsuits are increasingly expensive for primary care providers.

Por favor describe tu solución con más detalle
AniMedes is a completely digital system that is able to handle the complete process of informing patients prior to their surgery, including the informed consent signature. It presents information using short movies and 3D-animations. It features questionnaires with the patient's most commonly asked questions and can admin a patient's anamnesis. It displays everything the patient saw and submitted for the doctor, providing a coherent frame of issues or dangers that concern the patient, hence providing a good outline for their personal talk. The app logs and stores all the information typed in automatically, everything can be easily commented on by the attending doctor. This saves valuable time in the conversation that would normally be needed for excessive handwritten documentation.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?
The ultimate goal for AniMedes is to completely substitute all standardized paper pamphlets that are being used by almost all hospitals around the world. Every patient education procedure can be improved by using modern tools. Our approach is designed to be scalable, so that in the future, most surgeries and major treatments will have an according movie to explain them to patients in multiple languages. This is a systematic improvement to the quality of the informed consent explanations, a large step towards improved legal security for both medical personnel and patients. It is a role model application for realigning an outdated system and adapting it for the digital future of medicine.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
Using animated movies and software on mobile touchpads to explain complex medical issues to patients offers multiple benefits.
A lot of time can be saved due to the automatic documentation of every information that goes out to, or comes back from the patients. Doctors would normally need this time to manually document their discussions with their patients. It improves the legal security of the whole patient education process. Saving the finished documentation digitally saves space and resources. The app delivers audiovisual information in any language, so every patient has a chance to understand their treatment and to actively contribute to a better outcome. Digital patient education also offers a constant data source for improvement of quality, effectivity and a minimization of mistakes.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Relevant customers are mainly hospitals and private clinics, respectively hospital operators as well as general practitioners and specialists. In countries with healthcare systems that are largely funded by state or regional governments, these political bodies have a high influence on the decision making process within hospitals and need to be addressed as possible clients as well. Private clinics and smaller hospital groups often have a special interest in being very technologically advanced and have more compact decision-making structures. This makes them a more ideal and easier approachable customer for the product, while large hospital operators, have a demand for much higher quantities and therefore provide more scalable sales possibilities.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Regarding clients such as hospitals, hospital operators, private clinics, general practitioners and specialists, AniMedes will be sold using a direct marketing approach. Hospitals can be covered easiest by signing long-term service contracts with their operating companies and the regional governments that fund them. Other doctors as well as the private sector will be covered by attending medical conventions and by addressing medical associations. Reaching customers for AniMedes is not as hard as convincing them to change a system that has widely been accepted as a standard over the last few decades. This is why every movie pack sold within AniMedes will be cleared by leading physicians and in the best case scenario be approved by nationwide medical associations and the health ministry.

AniMedicals primary activities as inventor of the app are to represent the product in front of customers and connect with key decision makers.
Other activities: development of the product, programming and design, text and media creation. This includes producing 3D-animations and legal texts, as well as translations and sound recording in various languages. Also, AniMedical creates and maintains the overall product design with website, logos, advertisements, folders and flyers. The responsibilities of teamworx media management are to promote the app via public relations, find and cultivate new customers and stake holders and to sell and distribute the product, which is a task they are well fit to accomplish due to their vast network within hospital organizations and medical officials.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
In Europe, the Thieme corporation, a medical publisher, is the main competitor.
Thieme currently produces almost all informed consent forms on paper, used by doctors in our target countries, therefore being the current "gold standard". However, their digital product line is lacking larger amounts of provided informational movies and 3D-animations.
Thieme already has all the customer relationships that AniMedes needs to start up. It is a larger competitor and can react to almost any competitors by simply outbuying/underbidding them.
Once AniMedes is on the open market, the app could be imitated or competitors could denounce the app for technical reasons. This is the reason why AniMedes needs to be spotless regarding legal conformity, data security, certification and standardization.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
AniMedical and teamworx media management combined are not very large companies. Financing and developing the app is a task that needs to be backed up by other sources of revenue from both companies. The smaller the company, the harder it also is to develop a notable market presence that is sustainable. Additionally, many decision makers in healthcare did not grow up with mobile applications and therefore have a natural tendency to distrust digital products. This challenge pairs well with the general precarious situation of computer programs that deal with patient data, as many examples of computerization in healthcare have shown lately. Most of these challenges can be overcome by strategically growing the business without overstretching it, and by responsible product development.

What started as a little project to bring some new form of media into patient education became increasingly bigger over the last two years. At one point, just adding an additional tool to the doctors portfolio in form of providing them with a movie, was not enough. The movies alone could not substitute any existing part of the informed consent explanations. With creating the AniMedes-app, AniMedical has taken a huge step towards professionalization and the creation of a well-rounded product that really makes things easier in every day clinical life.
Over the last few months, we have started a larger scale discussion among our partnering hospitals, the Austrian government, the Austrian patient advocacy and most of the major government supported hospital operators, about the current state of patient education. This discussion was very successful and will undoubtedly lead to a series of innovation projects and hopefully to an improvement of the situation of patients in hospitals in the long run. Some of our movies have already been tested in clinical situations in a private clinic as well as a general hospital in Salzburg. Both test runs have shown that patients accepted the new media very well and actually enjoyed this part of their hospitalization. Although AniMedes needs to be thoroughly tested, the outcome of those early tests and the response by the medical community in general was overwhelmingly positive.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
AniMedes is subject of a randomized prospective patient study at the department for urology at Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg. This study is conducted by OR Dr. S. Hruby and the Chief of Medicine, Univ.-Prof. Dr. G. Janetschek. In the study, AniMedes is used to explain two surgical procedures of varying complexity to test any influence on patient education. The primary focus is the patient's knowledge and comprehension of the upcoming surgery, secondary points of interest are the patient's fear and satisfaction with the system, as well as secondary effects for the hospital, like time and effort needed to run the app in a clinic. The study will start in May and run for six months. First results are expected as soon as August, due to the frequency of the less complex surgery.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
AniMedes is principally adaptable for any language, country, medical and legal demands. 2D-movies can depict any surgery or treatment that people can visualize in their own thoughts, so there is basically no limit to what can be shown or explained using an 3D-animation. The app can be implemented a lot easier in countries where the medical standards are high on average, because it massively benefits from existing infrastructure such as wireless networks, internet and docking stations or tablet computers that are already being used. The technical requirements make it logical, that the most important markets for AniMedes are Europe, the Middle East (especially the UAE), North America, Japan and Australia, followed by China, Russia, Southern America and African countries.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Since AniMedes is a fairly new product that has not proven itself in the "real world", it is hard to project the possible impact it will make on the market. First tests have shown great potential in the concept and our extensive test runs of the app in 2013 will deliver the data needed to create a great product. Over the last few months, we have dedicated a lot of our time to finding clinics in Austria and Germany that eagerly accepted our offer to test the app in 2013. Our best case estimate of a possible market coverage projects a possible home market share (Austria and Germany) of up to 30% after 5 years, given the proper resources. This means 100 clinics in Austria and 1.000 in Germany alone. This can roughly be replicated in any similarly developed country.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultarExplica detalladamente tu estrategia financiera actual
AniMedical has received substantial financial aid from 2010 to the end of 2011, by a state-funded accademic incubator and a small national funding project, to finance a very early-stage prototape of the app. Since then, all of the money spent on the app has come from the company's own financial reserves. Since 2012, the companies teamworx media management and AniMedical share costs and income on the AniMedes project. Currently, the companies are financing the development of the app through their regular income. For AniMedical, this means commissioned work from pharmaceutical companies or medical institutions. The teamworx media managment GmbH generates their revenue from selling medically relevant videos to online newspapers and medical publishers. The normal cash flow dedicated to the AniMedes project is reflected in the current annual budget and currently reaches about USD 50.000,- per year.
AniMedes will also be submitted to various forms of external beneficiary financing, especially nationwide funding initiatives by the Austrian government as well as local (state) economy funds.
Additionally, AniMedes was submitted to various partnership programs by leading hardware/software companies. Those companies offer financial support and partnering strategies that will leviate the costs of product development for AniMedical enormously. Currently, there is an ongoing enquiry for AniMedes at Microsoft Austria and Western Europe, to fully fund the migration of AniMedes to Windows8 software and hardware combinations.

AniMedes is sold as a service that includes initial installing, updates and maintenance. Customers will pay for the service and the provided movies in yearly licenses, prices increase by the number of licensed movies and tablet-PCs. The movies will only be available in packages of at least 5 movies, those packages are created according to medical specialties. Apps can be updated over the internet, which ensures that customers always have the latest version and AniMedes can provide location-independent maintenance and update service. Due to the license-based system and the language-independency, the business model is extremely scalable and easily transferable to new markets.The licenses will add up and enable AniMedical to develop the product using a steady and predictable cash flow.

Estrategias filantrópicas que estás utilizando
Estrategia diversificada.
Explica tu enfoque filantrópico con más detalle
Austria and Germany offer many ways to bring in funds from philantropic sources, as well as state or nationwide competitions and government fundings.
We will submit AniMedes to various funding programs by initiatives such as the Austria Wirtschaftsservice (Austrian Economy Service) and the Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft (Association for Research Funding). In addition to programs that support the development of the product itself, there are some initiatives that support the export of products to different markets, such as the ITG (Innovation and Technology Transfer Association Salzburg).
Depending on the success of our appeals, the estimated income from such sources ranges from EUR 10.000,- to EUR 70.000,-.
Amplia tu selección; explica cómo mantendrás el financiamiento dentro de los próximos 1 a 3 años.
Since AniMedes will be sold using a licencing fee model, no clinic will have to pay for the full production costs of the 3D-animations or the app and AniMedical can sell to any number of clients. The current system of paper pamphlets works just the same way: Clinics pay an annual fee to gain rights to use and print the paper pamphlets used in patient education. Our strategy works just the same. The current projected cost of a fully functional product with 2 tablets, about 7 movies that represent the majority of the concerning medical speciality, and technical support is about USD 7.000,- per year. These costs can be varied according to clinic and order size. These fees add up, while the steady cash flow enables AniMedical to update and perpetually improve the software.
Until the point is reached where this steady income exceeds expenses and product development costs, the current strategy consists of the aforementioned funding strategies: Own cash flow from commissioned work outside of the AniMedes project, cooperations with and funding by external partners and government funds, which mostly run for durations of over a year in any case.
Another strategy involves the cooperation with pharmaceutical partners that could have a strong interest in the app as a showcase tool for marketing purposes or sales staff. The app therefore also acts as a use-case for pharmaceutical marketing, which can create further revenue for AniMedical in the future.

Operación salud: Chiapas (e-health)
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
Operación salud: Chiapas (e-health) es una empresa social sostenible con el objetivo de transformar significativamente la salud rural y semi-urbana de la mano con los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) y la Misión Nacional de Salud Rural (NRHM) mediante el empleo de un modelo de prestación de servicios que únicamente aprovecha los beneficios de la tecnología en el sector salud, las TIC y servicios de potabilización de agua.
Es un galardonado modelo de prestación de servicios sanitarios rurales, con herramientas
de ultima generación para llegar a las comunidades circundantes. El proyecto incluye:
1) Una clínica de rápida expansión rural y la red de puntos de agua proporciona el agua potable segura y
atención primaria, con consultas medicas realizadas por los médicos a distancia a través de vídeo de dos vías, con el apoyo de un laboratorio en el lugar de diagnostico y farmacia. Los servicios se prestan en un"por pago" siendo amigable con las economías locales.
2) Los trabajadores de salud empleados por la empresa que han demostrado su capacidad para
generar demanda y crear un cambio de comportamiento (45% de los hogares del pueblo son los
clientes dentro de 3 meses);
3) Incluyen registros médicos electrónicos que abarcan todo el cuadro médico del paciente y le genera un historial.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Este proyecto marca la evolución del concepto de medicina a distancia llevándolo al siguiente nivel. Incorpora servicios de salud de primer contacto, toma de muestras y laboratorio para su análisis, servicio de farmacia, potabilización de agua para la operación con el apoyo a través TICs de médicos de segundo y tercer nivel de manera remota. En síntesis el primer contacto, el análisis, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento se ponen al alcance de comunidades en pobreza extrema cerca de los municipios de Bochil, Copainalá, Ocotepec en la Sierra de Chiapas en México. Lo anterior por medio de cuotas de recuperación accesibles con base a la economía de la región.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Treinta años de experiencia operando programas de campo. Personal operativo de campo situado y en algunos casos originarios de las comunidades en donde se trabaja. Metodologías de intervención en constante mejoramiento y validación. El modelo de World Vision International, se ha implementado en los 100 países miembros de la organización y existe un intercambio constante de experiencias dentro de la red. Relaciones con más de 20 aliados corporativos en alianzas rentables, escalables con una clara y oportuna rendición de cuentas.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
El proyecto recolecta las entrevistas post-paciente, para recoger informacion del paciente sobre su satisfacción con la calidad y el costo de la atención prestada. Las respuestas serán tomadas en cuenta y si es necesario, se harán cambios a las operaciones, y se proporcionan pruebas directas de las personas afectadas. Por otro lado, se realizan entrevistas con otros interactores; los lideres comunitarios, funcionarios gubernamentales, y los médicos para recoger sus impresiones sobre el éxito del proyecto piloto. Esta información se utiliza para realizar un un análisis y establecer metas de mejoramiento.

-Establecer una empresa social única en su tipo en México.
-Impulsar alianzas gubernamentales que apoyen la replicación y financiamiento del proyecto.
-Impulsar la economía de la región generando fuentes de empleo.
-Transformar positivamente el estado de bienestar de Chiapas.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
-Es un modelo que actualmente no se encuentra en México.
-Lleva la telemedicina a un nivel de aplicación nunca antes visto en México.
-Tiene un componente importante de desarrollo económico.
-Se centra en los objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio.
-Genera incidencia a través de su impacto en la salud pública.
-Brinda un escenario de oportunidad para la inversión privada a través de sus planes de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial.
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Poblaciones rurales e indígenas de la Sierra de Chiapas cercanas al municipio de Bochil y de manera indirecta Otepec y Copainala.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
El trabajo de World Vision considera operación micro regional a través de oficinas de campo (PDAs). El trabajo de intervención realizado por World Vision se establece en las microregiones en donde se asocia con las comunidades para juntos decidir las prioridades entorno al desarrollo de las mismas, en los ejes de salud, nutrición, educación, desarrollo económico, atención a desastres y promoción de justicia. Este modelo de intervención nos permite tener una cercanía con las comunidades rurales como aliados, de esta manera las acciones emprendidas por la organización son bien recibidas y guardan un sentido de apropiación por parte de las poblaciones, este enfoque garantiza la viabilidad y sostenibilidad de los proyectos desarrollados.
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
Para el proyecto de Operación salud: Chiapas las actividades a desarrollar son las siguientes:
-Entablar alianzas con socios para la inversión en el proyecto. (es necesario un socio adicional)
-Recaudar fondos para el piloto.
-Realizar investigación de mercado detallada.
-Construcción de clínicas.
-Contratación y capacitación del personal.
-Ejecutar proyecto clínicas.
-Evaluación de resultados.
-Recaudación de fondos para ampliación de la cobertura.
-Lanzamiento de la ampliación del proyecto.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
-Campañas de salud de organizaciones de otras ONG´s sobre todo aquellas con un enfoque asistencialista, es más sencillo para la población recibir la ayuda que pagar por ella. Estas campañas no generan un compromiso de las comunidades y fácilmente se acostumbran a recibir medicamentos de manera eventual.
-Alguna organización de la sociedad civil que decidiera establecer puntos de salud de e-Health.
-Farmacias de descuento o de medicamentos equivalentes: estas clínicas son negocios que fácilmente ganan la aceptación de la población al ofrecer los medicamentos a un costo más bajo y brindar consultas médicas de primer contacto de primer contacto.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
-No se puede contratar un equipo local calificado en la región.
-La población local rechaza los servicios de telemedicina por razones culturales.
-Los residentes de Chiapas no están dispuestos a pagar en muchas ocasione por los servicios de salud.
-Nos encontramos con problemas de derecho para la construcción de los espacios.
-Problemas de conectividad.
-Problemas de electricidad.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
A través de buenos resultados podremos consolidar el proyecto e invitar a más socios a participar en el mismo para de esta manera escalar el impacto y la construcción de clínicas puntos de salud.

Esta presentación se trata de
Resúmen: ¿De qué tema o problema específico trata tu emprendimiento?
The Careers addresses the issue of unsatisfactory educational performance, especially in students grades 5-10. It targets the students' side of the issue often called "accountability" through emphasizing inspiration and instilling a sense of purpose in youth. Accountability is the idea of giving schools, districts, and educators the responsibility for student achievement, and my venture aims to improve student accountability through raised awareness and motivation of the relevance of education (hopefully inspiring them along the way). Struggling students often lack a sense of purpose at school, feeling stupid and discouraged which only makes improving even more difficult than doing well in the first place. The Careers targets these students and aims to give them a brighter perspective toward scholastic achievement and a sense of purpose as to why they should put effort into education.
Enunciado de tu misión: ¿Qué hace tu emprendimiento?
The Careers will provide information about industries and careers, explaining the importance of education in each, with the intention of inspiring students to choose and pursue a goal, thus giving them a personal reason to put more effort into their academic performance. In terms of accountability, schools are responsible for building a solid curriculum, districts deal managing schools and setting standards, teachers are charged with educating, and students with learning. Students are the only branch not receiving an income for the fulfillment of their responsibility, and often lack an explanation to the teacher-hated question "why do I need to know this?" Students receive no universal or standard incentive to even try in school; each is driven by some combination of parent influence, fear of authority, fear of failure, personal goals, or has no drive at all. My venture will offer "proof" as to the relevance of education in relation to careers, and motivation to succeed in school.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
Alex is a freshman at a public high school is South Florida. She has three C's, a D in English and Science, and an F in her low-level math class. Her younger brother also has poor grades and her parents do not push her or punish her. She is uninvolved in activities and spends her time at the mall with friends. Alex doesn't do homework or worry about her bad grades, crediting them to the fact that she is "bad at school, and school is stupid anyway." She loves fashion magazines and idolizes the design team behind Proenza Schouler and the editor in chief of Teen Vogue Amy Astley. While on stumbleupon.com, Alex comes across TheCareers.com and browses around, looking at pictures and reading about jobs that look exciting. She finds the fashion industry page of the site and reads about the job descriptions of designers, magazine editors, stylists, and writers, among others. Interested that many professionals in the industry have gone to universities and design schools, she discovers that Amy Astley has a degree in English Literature and designers behind Proenza Schouler have degrees from Parsons. Alex reads about many other industry successes and finds that they praise the value of knowledge of many disciplines, including art history and fashion history, social sciences and anthropology, and foreign languages. This experience ignites wishes and hope inside Alex, and she begins to take more of an interest in school. She sees that the people she admires, and people like them she didn't even know about, are well educated and have proven the value of knowledge.
La comunidad: Define tu comunidad, local, nacional o internacional, con la cual vas a trabajar. ¿Cuál es tu público objetivo, a qué población vas a dirigir tus acciones? ¿Existen otras organizaciones que ya trabajan en este tema en tu comunidad?
Because my Venture, at least the central project, is a website, my community is essentially global, although I can target my efforts in my local community. Access to the website will be free to users, and the user needs only access to the internet. The youth population is mainly affected as I am targeting students in grades 5-10. As with all ventures, my audience will be small and centered around my community upon the initial website launch. By hosting career days or presenting at schools in the three South Florida counties (Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach county), I will be able to spread the word and promote The Careers in my community. Miami-Dade county is the 4th largest district in the country and Broward is the 7th (roughly 350,000 and 260,000 students, respectively), so targeting these areas to work on behalf of will enable me to make a large impact with my voice and venture. There are many career books, a few websites dedicated to describing careers, and organizations targeting youth in terms of education improvement, but there are not organizations trying to improve academic performance through means of "career awareness."
El fundamento de tu Historia: ¿Qué fue lo que te inspiró para hacer tu emprendimiento y por qué?
It all started with my best friend. Eden is kind, generous, and a great friend, but I have always been worried about her because she has never seem academic success nor liked school at all. She went to a speech therapist for phonation issues as a child and has gone through three years of tutoring, but her low grades have never improved because she has no drive to put forth effort. In my own school, my friends are frustrated with the amount of work we do, without anyone telling us "why." I have often wondered what sets my good grades and willing attitude apart from Eden's poor academic performance and my friends' skepticism toward the value of our education. I realized that it is the influence of inspiration- I see the connection between knowledge now and acceptance to my "first choice" university and the opportunity to have a "cool" job as an adult. I came up with the idea for this website as a means of enlightening teenagers about cool jobs that exist and how education plays a role.
¿Cuál es la visión a largo plazo de tu emprendimiento?
My long-term vision is that middle and high school students will visit the website based on word-of-mouth, a teacher recommendation, or coming across it on a discovery engine. I intend to create a website that students will find inspiring and entertaining, which will be enhanced in certain communities with career day presentations at schools and community centers. I aspire to explain and convince youth that putting effort into their education is worthwhile while helping them establish a sense of purpose. Eventually spread the message of The Careers through other means of media, possibly as a software application, social media pages, or a television commercial.

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Qué quieres lograr en tu primer año?
In the BIG PICTURE of the first year, I see four categories of key activities to develop. 1) There is the creation of the website itself which means want to write and organize all of the content for the initial launch of the website, and produce and launch the website itself. 2) There is the promotion of the website- I want to market my venture and figure out how to get the website in the loop of discovery engines like StumbleUpon (over 25 million registered users), SpinSnap, and Pinterest (48.7 million users). Through this accomplishment, I plan to find other means of popularizing the website. 3) Within the first year I would like to look into supplementary website activities- such as blog posts, feature articles, establishing a scholarship program, or creating competitions, among other ideas- and accomplish selected ideas for the website. The boldest and most effective supplementary activity would be running small-scale career days in schools (starting with public middle schools in my area). There is no better way to teach and persuade than in person, with spoken words and live presentations. While the website is more of a passive approach to the issue, career fairs are an aggressive method of ensuring that my message is heard, not to mention gives me and my team a better opportunity to evaluate the influence of our ideas and discuss the status of academic performance in the schools. 4) Funding: I want to find sponsors to contribute to the project.
* The 6 month milestone will not allow me to type more than a line.
My six month milestone is:
Create, launch and promote the website and establish related projects, especially the career days in schools across Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach counties. The careers days are an optimal time to track growth- presenters can have discussions with groups of students and administrators to evaluate the impact of The Careers. The Careers, first and foremost, is meant to serve struggling students; and so we should mainly focus on the percentage of students who moved from below to at or above standard proficiency levels. Academic improvement of students with learning deficiencies should be taken into account, along with students of ethnic minorities, children learning English as a second language, and economically disadvantaged students.
In twelve months, I would have like to accomplished the following:
The website should be completely created structurally, with new pages being added easily each month. Additionally, we should have an established list of schools for which we plan and host annual career days. By the twelve-month mark, I would like to have shifted some focus to activities beside the careers days (such as the idea of offering scholarships or having online competitions of sorts).

leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cómo definirás el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año de operaciones (1-6 meses)?
In the short term, the first priority is creating the content, which involves research, conducting, interviews, writing, and organizing media on the website. Thus, my Venture defines success as completing this within seven months.
¿Cómo definirás el éxito tu emprendimiento a largo plazo (1 año)?
The definition of long term success for this Venture is acquiring readers, inspiring them with goals of fascinating careers, and proving that education has merit and is vital to having one of these dream-inducing careers. Success will also come in the form of keeping certain elements of the website current, possibly including keeping up with a weekly or monthly featured career, posting questions for readers, adding new industries and career entries to the website. Success is being in a state of constant improvement.
¿Qué indicadores(s) usarás para medir el éxito de tu emprendimiento durante el primer año?
Initially our success will be whether or not we have a website to launch. Long-term success is mostly a function of how many readers we acquire, how much we influence them, and how much they like the website and its features. I can measure the "how many" with a website hit counter and the subjective measurements will be made by user comments, questions, and concerns from the "Contact Us" page. Additionally, I can post surveys and evaluation questions on the website specifically asking users how (if at all) the website has motivated them to improve their grades and if it has given them previously inaccessible information they wanted. Our goal is to improve proficiency rates through providing students with a source of inspiration and a sense of purpose- evaluating annual proficiency rates based on standardized testing or looking at academic improvement of specific groups of struggling students (students with mental/physical disabilities, ESOL students, economically challenged students, etc.) can potentially measure our impact on our target students.
¿Por qué?
Reading individual testimonies, analyzing trends in academic performance & status of meeting standards will enable us to improve

HIAM - Health Infrastructure Accessibility Map
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
HIAM - "Health Infrastructure Accessibility Map" is a project aimed to create an interactive map of accessibility of the health system infrastructure for disabled people. It supposed to be available through web site and mobile applications. The main content of HIAM, an interactive map, is generated by the information received from people and institutions involved in the health system development. We believe that this project will have an impact on social, economic, educational areas.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
It is a new application of existing tool - the accessibility map of Moscow universities that we developed earlier. The main distinction from any similar map is its flexibility and future evolution, namely: we create special criteria and methods to rank accessibility level of the health infrastructure institution and approaches for their computation; all of them - criteria and methods are variable in time and depend on received feedback.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Our Center has a great experience in the development of methodological fundamentals and implementation of complex rehabilitation models for disabled people to supply them with rehabilitation services, software and hardware to ensure equal abilities for this kind of citizens and facilities for their integration into society.
We've already managed to create the accessibility map of Moscow universities. The link is http://guimc.bmstu.ru/projects/access_map. We researched and developed special criteria to evaluate the accessibility rating of educational environment. And it's not only about physical access; the access to the information is also very important, as well as psychological accessibility, health saving technologies and other aspects. That experience will help to launch HIAM project.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Unfortunately the problem of accessibility of the health system infrastructure for disabled people is a complex one, we consider it to be of current importance for a long time not only in Russia, but also in many other countries. We are going to work with other NGOs and Ashoka Fellows globally to scale the project.

The basic part - Accessible Map of Moscow Universities - was developed with financial support of the regional government. Based on it we are planing to develop this project with active participation of various partners and users of portal for the filling and improving of content and criteria-system. Since the portal is free to access, we can get financing within various sponsorship and grand programs, governmental service contracts and from other sources. We also could find an interest of commercial clinics and hospitals having the developed accessible infrastructure. They could inform their potential clients with disabilities about the accessible environment through our portal. That means those institutions which have the most developed conditions would want to promote and support the portal.

Linkcare is an spin off of the Clinic Hospital after 8 years of research on telemedicine and integrated care.
At a certain stage of development of the Linkcare platform, founders realized that rather than distributing software (is an open software platform) the main value would be to create a knowledge sharing platform: Linkcare's CAREPEDIA was born!

Problem
As health care knowledge double folds every 10 years and population aging increases health care professional demand, a shared knowledge platform can be a better source of information than traditional knowledge exchange such as health care manuals or health publications.
Solution
Linkcare is an Integrated Care open platform allowing Health Care Professionals (Specialists, General Practitioners, Case Managers, Nurses,…) to share clinical knowledge around a patient centric health care model. The Linkcare mobility module allows to post activities to be performed by the patients using their mobile terminal, tablet or web portal. Such activities include follow up questionnaires and medical devices such as pulsioximeters, glucometers, scales, blood pressure and spirometers. Using Linkcare, Health Care professionals may exchange care protocols and clinical data around Integrated Practice Units or specific Clinical Research teams.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Unlike most health care knowledge services and platforms, Linkcare relies on health care professionals willing to exchange their protocols to improve their knowledge about disease.
Patients can also cooperate in creating clinical knowledge by "donating" their anonymous clinical data.
Linkcare's CAREPEDIA is to be the knowledge base that will be created and exchanged by health care professionals. Linkcare's knowledge is created by health care professionals tih the collaboration of their patients.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
The adoption cycle of Linkcare starts by early adopters health care professionals willing to create a research team. A research team can be created around any health condition.
Once the team is created the can invite other professionals to be part of the team, no matter which organization or country they come from. Linkcare users can also apply to be part of existing teams.
Linkcare teams create and use integrated care protocols and share the results of protocol adoption for their patients.
Linkcare's patient centric approach can also be used by health care organizations to establish integrated practice units around chronic conditions.
Hospitals use Linkcare for early-discharge, fragility and rehabilitation integrated care.
Primary care systems use it to manage chronicity and wellness

2. Hospital integrated practice units can also use Linkcare for patient centric case management
3. In a latter stage, Linkcare can also be adopted to provide district level care integrating primary cares, community hospitals and tertiary centers.
¿Cuál es tu propuesta de valor?
To provide an open platform for health care knowledge exchange based on case management oriented care
¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
a. Health care professionals willing to exchange their clinical knowledge around a health condition and industry partners interested on sponsoring those teams to obtain better knowledge on their customers or products
b. Health care suppliers willing to deliver integrated care by collaborating at all care levels (primary care, community hospitals, tertiary centers,...
c. Health organizations interested on value measurement health care models that allow protocol benchmarking and health care outcome measurement
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
Linkcare relies exclusively on the reputation of its health professional users
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
To disseminate the Linkcare platform by enrolling clinical research teams
To introduce the Linckare platform to health service providers, payers and government offices
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Linkcare is a complement or extension of existing health information systems.
It is also a complement of traditional knowledge exchange based models, such as health care publications
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
The health care information industry is highly segmented and diversifies. Linkcare tries to ensure easy connectivity by being an open platform that can be integrated with the existing information systems by the current integrators. Linkcare has already partnership agreements with some of those integrators, such as IBM and Accenture.
On the other hand, collaboration between health car professionals is not yet part of their daily culture. The fact that research teams are sponsored by industry companies provides and additional incentive to promote collaboration. On exchange, sponsors obtain very valuable information on the disease, the patient profile and the product effectiveness under certain protocols.
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
The company is now incorporated in Barcelona and London.
During the next years Linkcare is planning to open an office in Shanghai and Boston.
Most knowledge creation is expected to come from professional users adopting the Linkcare platform for knowledge sharing.
Linkcare plans to create a network of representatives, each one covering around 10 new health care service providers each year
¿Qué dimensiones de crecimiento estás actualmente focalizando para tu innovación? [selecciona todas las que correspondan]
Nuevos clientes grupo/s, Nueva(s) región(es), Nuevo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).
¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
The increase of interest of the health care professionals community to improve their knowledge around certain conditions. This need has grown as predictive medicine and personalized medicine has made clinical knowledge a "peer to peer" and community based process rather than a traditional "information exchange" (scientific publications, health care conferences) approach
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
As a knowledge sharing platform, Linkcare's corporate business developement indicators are based on:
a) Population served,
b) Health care service providers involved,
c) Active professional users, and
c) Patient profiles managed.
Linkcare goal is to reach 110 Health Care Service Providers, covering a population of 36 M (million) citizens and an estimated 1M (million) patients in 3 years
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Within the next ten years, Linkcare is aiming to reach a population of 400M (million). Out of this population, a case prevalence of 7% has been targeted (standard prevalence estimated 25%). A market share goal of 5,2% represents a target case estimate of 28 M (million) and a total of 1.340 health care providers performing a year total of 366 research teams.
leer más↓↑ ocultar↑ ocultar¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Uo to date, Linkcare has been used as a test platform in severer research teams, and as a integrated care protocol in several pilot programs.
The most important of those programs being the integrated COPD early diagnose program in the Basc Country: A project coordinated from Hospital de Cruces in collaboration with 100+ primary care centers. The project has proven to allow primary care centers to effectively perform spirometry tests that were traditionally performed only in specialized centers.
As a result of a initial evaluation, CPOD diagnose has improved around a 20% based in the initial reports.
More important: The test has proved that collaboration between primary care centers and tertiary specialized teams can be a more effective and lest costly approach for early diagnose.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
A model on health care value measurement is being put in place to measure the comparative health outcome and cost involved on each different protocols.
In the future this may allow to ensure a better user of health care resources and to improve the quality of life of citizens over the time.
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Linkcare is available in English, French, German, Italian, Norweigan, Greek and Chinese, and is expected to be used natively in collaboration teams from all over the world.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
Within the next three years Linkcare is expected to reach a total of 59 sponsored research teams and 166 health care service providers, reaching a population of about 59 M (million) citizen

Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The support for American Express would focus on specific service, viz OneFarm only as per the identified areas of technical support. However some of the strategies could also have impact on over all organisations business planning, customer acquisition strategies and brand promotion.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.
We have focussed on all these areas previously, however have never used any consultants for the same due funding constraints. However in other areas of our work such as crop content development, voice dubbing, translations of content in local language, we always use consultants.

1.
More savings from reduced use of agri-inputs and increase income of the farmer
2.
Better crop management practices, improving soil and crop health, enhacing productivity
3.
Repeated customers for utilising OneFarm services
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Over two years of impact assessment studies we have identified that farmers have been able to reduce usage of agri-inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides by over 30% while enhancing productivity by over 15%. The services could help save over 12 $ per farmer per crop season (2 acre farm) in agri-inputs (fertilizers & pesticides), healthy soil with enhanced farm productivity and hence better return on investment to farmers. The indirect impact on environment is by reduction of nitrogen poisoning due to over use of fertilizers in soil and water. The services has reached over to 300000 farmers, with active subscribers changing in each crop season. The service helps farmer diversify his/her farming with better choice of crop and variety as per market demand.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
The future impact of the project could be larger on the small holder farmers if the proposed scale is reached. However this impact would be both a factor of right amount of investment as well as professional support. If the professional support helps to create strategic partnerships which would help scale without requiring much investment then the prospects of scale and impact could be much wider. For example a partnership with a mobile network operators could be potentially beneficial partnership, which would help get both scale as well as larger sustained revenues.

Typically, remittances are sent via one of the thousands of Western Union franchises through out the U.S. For senders and recipients the process is a pain: customers pay extortionate fees, wait on long lines, and are responsible for notifying the recipients, who bear the danger of carrying cash. Regalii eliminates these aggravations because it’s a free, immediate and social (via Facebook) form of remittance.
For customers (in the U.S.), Regalii is free because retailers pay Regalii for each gift card sold.

What problem is your organization committed to solving? In particular, share what is innovative about your approach.
Typically, remittances are sent via one of the thousands of Western Union franchises through out the U.S. For senders and recipients the process is a pain: customers pay extortionate fees, wait on long lines, and are responsible for notifying the recipients, who bear the danger of carrying cash. Regalii eliminates these aggravations because it’s a free, immediate and social (via Facebook) form of remittance.
For customers (in the U.S.), Regalii is free because retailers pay Regalii for each gift card sold.
For Recipients (in LAC), they will be notified immediately via SMS and be able to redeem the gift card by showing it at the cash register just like a coupon. We selected the mobile phone channel because of the high penetration rate (80% for cell phones in Latina America).
What are your organization's top three priorities in the next year?
1. Our primary objective for now is identifying the best product customer fit, which can only be derived from extensive customer interviews and research.
2. Once we have nailed down the correct value proposition VP and product offering PO then we will focus on growing costumer base via offline and online channels
3. Continuously grow our affiliate network in Latin America and the USA

Launched pilot in the Dominican Republic two months ago. We are currently adding new features and services to the pilot. We are in the process of adding supermarkets and bill payments to the platform. This means customers will be able to send food, clothes and pay the utility bills for their family through Regalii. Regalii will also provide this service at the most competitive rates in the market because of how our revenue model is structured (we pay a discount on each gift card we purchase – ie: we pay $90 for a $100 gift card).
What we hope to achieve in working with American Express consultants is a better strategy on how to identify and effetely execute a b2b channel. This effort will help us expand our client base and get the word out of this great service. Our product is unique because it is the only form of remittance that integrates mobile gift cards via sms.
We also want to better understand the competitive landscape and how it relates to “customer acquisition” in order for us to incorporate best practices. Another area we feel American Express would be incredibly helpful in cultivating.
1.
Collaborative: work together for a common goal.
2.
Transparent: Be very clear on what is expected from each partner.
3.
Integrity: Work with partners that are honest and trust worthy.
Will support from American Express be focused on your organization overall or a specific product/service? Please describe.
The support from American Express will be mainly focused on customer development, particularly in the B2B realm. We believe American Expresses expertise and affiliate networks would be of great value in getting this initiative off of the ground.
Have you focused on the above area previously? If so, please explain, including whether you have worked with outside consultants before.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
8 weeks after launching our pilot we have helped more than 50 families in the USA and Latin America to access an easier and cheaper way of sending mobile money and supporting their families. Our pilot has been an incredible learning experience. We learned that customers want a wider variety of products they want to send to their families such as food, pharmaceuticals and utilities payment. We are currently working to integrate these new offerings on our platform. This will increase the amount of transactions and benefits for the families in Latam.
We have been recognized by Echoing Green and awarded a fellowship for the positive social impact in more than 30 million Hispanic families in the USA.
What is your project future impact after receiving professional support from American Express?
In 2009, the G8 embarked on a “5 by 5” objective to reduce the average cost of remittances to 5% by 2014. Regalii measures its social impact through its ability to eliminate remittance fees. Annual transfers are $2,200 on average (IFAD, 2010). In LAC this equates to approximately 30M families or individuals. If by 2017 Regalii captures 1% of the $69BN market, it would handle $690M in transactions, which yields $69M in savings from fees, which averaged 10%. (IFAD, 2011)!. In essence, Regalii puts 10% more money in the hands of the 30M people in LAC who receive remittances, most of whom income fall below a given poverty line. For example, in Mexico 61% of the households receiving remittances fall in the bottom 20% of income (World Bank, 2008).

We were working on a healthcare business plan competition organized by Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad. The plan was quite similar to "Enabling Global HealthCare on Cloud".
Our plan got selected for the finals and was highly appreciated. At that time we realized that this plan is practically feasible and can be implemented in long term.

Enabling Healthcare Omnipresence through Cloud
Explica de qué se trata la “innovación”, por ej.: ¿es la idea y/o el modelo que utilizas para lograr tu misión, o tu comprensión sobre la población objetivo, etc.?
In Myocardial Infarction, every minute of delay results in 11 days of loss of life of the patient, during the first 3 hours.
If Reperfusion treatment is given within the first 15-30 minutes of the heart attack, damage to the heart can be REVERSIBLE.
One-third of the patients having cardiac arrest die before getting admitted to the hospital.
Early treatment is vital in such condition and if TELEMEDICINE is implemented properly and efficiently at least 1/3rd of patients dying from heart attack can be saved.
The model, however, aims to a lot broader scope than what telemedicine can serve.
The centralization of the database of medical history of patients with its access through the Cloud provides a real time interface to the doctors, patients & Government alike helping in improving the quality of service rendered. The critical time utilized in offering the service & the ease with which this database can be handled electronically.
Describe cómo se diferencia tu modelo de innovación en el campo, respecto al de cualquier otra organización.
Till date no service provider in Healthcare industry has tried to create a central database leave apart exploring its cloud compatibility.
Currently some companies provide Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and some others provide Tele-Medicine but none of them has never tried to integrate this technologies into a single service. We integrate these individual packages into a single product.
¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?
Government support is anticipated. So risk can be distributed.
When adequate data is available, very efficient operations management and inventory management can be carried out to do cost cutting.
R & D can be carried out effectively, when data is available in adequate amount.
Currently government support to the Telemedicine is given only for 5 years. After that the service dries up. Maintenance is necessary after that. So we do not implement cloud in rural area yet. Cloud can cover the spectrum till the district area and from there onward, rural area can be covered by the present practices of Telemedicine. The data collected by Telemedicine shall be put on cloud periodically, by sending the data to the district level and then putting it to the central database.
¿Cómo te aseguras que innovas constantemente a la luz de (potenciales) desafíos externos, o cuál es tu plan de crecimiento?
Innovative ideas can be generated in order to counter the connectivity issues & cost of cloud. For example, to decrease the usage of cooling equipment and run the data centers in hot climate. Also, the efficiency of equipment should be increased so as to reduce the power consumption of the server.
There is a lot of scope for everyone, (e.g. ISRO included 100 hospitals including 22 tertiary hospitals, but there are still thousands of hospitals and a lot of area left.) but for cloud to be effective, huge data collection is necessary and for that, as large portion as possible should be affiliated.
EMR and research can take a long time before it can be utilized fully and can be converted into profitable ventures. So for short term, focus should be mainly on telemedicine & data collection.

Healthcare in India is not much efficiently managed till recent times. With the entry of corporate giants like Apollo, Max and Fortis, this trend seems to be changing but still when it comes to efficient usage of technology, Indian hospitals lag behind the other countries’.
With the law regarding mandatory storage of medical data electronically, in USA a big potential market has opened up. Rationale behind doing this is to manage the data smoothly and to keep the history available to medical fraternity as well as the patients themselves.
The role of cloud has till now been limited in either providing EMR facility or giving telemedicine. But quite a few efforts have been made in the direction of making healthcare omnipresent, i.e. integrating both.

Doctors can consult one another across the globe. In rare cases, life- saving advises from the best brains of the world can be obtained
A good number of patients will be treated at PHCs only, so no need for them to go to the district hospitals.
Less dependence on any specific doctor, for the patient (flexibility to continue the treatment from where it is, by the other doctor)
Transparency in the treatment and less scope of Irrational Drug Therapy
From rural population, those who want to spend on health and want a premium on services can get a chance (by connecting rural area with private sector by telemedicine). It will lead to decreased number of patients in the tertiary government Hospitals which are already overburdened, and redistribute this number to the private hospitals.
¿Cuál es tu visión y objetivos generales?

¿Quiénes son los beneficiarios se los que se dirige tu trabajo?
Doctors, Patients and Hospital Chains.
We carried out a Primary Research and ran a Cluster Analysis in order to segment and target our customers. The results indicated the following target segments:
Doctors of all age groups seeking the proposition of Convenience (reduction of paperwork, diagnostic procedural smoothness) and doctors in the age group 20-30 years and seeking the proposition of Value-for-Money (cost reduction, reduction in average time spent on each patient).
Patients who are Benefit seeking (tech savvy, online appointment booking, online advise and follow ups) and Comfort seeking (avoiding duplication of their medical records and thus reducing high expenses), in Transferable jobs and living in Metropolitan cities.
¿Qué enfoques utilizas para llegar a ellos?
We carried out a Primary Research to identify the factors influencing the consumers. The 3 major sources of promotion (in descending order of effectiveness) are:
1. Doctor recommendations
2. Online social media
3. Posters in hospitals and health magazines
Thus we decide to adopt a 3-pronged strategy:
Doctors – Personal Selling, Direct Marketing
Patients – Recommendations by doctors, Online Social Media
Hospital Chains – Pitch-ins and Promotions
¿Cuáles son tus actividades principales?
On technological side, the primary activity shall involve setting up servers and database & developing the Cloud platform. An application for user interface shall be developed. Then accounts (unique login id and password) shall be provided to all the customers.
On operational side, at present, the telemedicine involves:
Primary health centers
Ambulances
Tertiary care centres
Here, one lab technician shall be present in such clinics who shall collect blood & prepare peripheral blood smears. He can be trained further to take the ECG. Such clinics are widely distributed in the rural area. Patient can be taken to such clinic in lesser time than to a PHC. Thus, vital time is saved; less chances of patient dying acutely; more admissions to hospital; more profit and less mortality.
¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? ¿Qué problemas podrían plantear esos jugadores para tu éxito o crecimiento?
Few start-ups like MDYantra have taken initiative in this field. But they should be considered more as peers than competitors because this idea is in nascent stage in India. There is enough room for multiple players to venture into this segment and develop their capabilities.
However, large IT players like Microsoft or Google pose a threat as they may venture into this segment because of their technological capabilities. Similarly healthcare giants like Fortis or Wockhardt may enter the segment because of their medical excellence.
¿Qué otros desafíos – individuales, organizacionales o ambientales – estás actualmente enfrentando o que podrían impedir el éxito futuro de tu emprendimiento y cómo planeas superarlos?
Presently the mindset of population is inclined towards physical visits to the clinics. They will not like to get treated completely virtually, no matter how accurate it may be. A large portion of population is very peculiar to value-for-money and they find the value for money not only in the end-result of treatment but also in the process of getting treated.
Keeping this in mind, the invention is a supplement to the current medical practice. It aims to organize the medical practice in a drastic way. However, it would not be marketed as a replacement to the traditional doctor visits.
Many players are there who are not using cloud but providing these services in fragments.
e.g. EMR and PH storage – Siemens, Wipro GE, TCS, Vepro, etc. telemedicine – Apollo hospitals, ISRO
Describe brevemente tu estrategia de crecimiento futura
The long term growth strategy is 2-pronged.
Firstly, we aim to cover maximum number of villages of India through Telemedicine. Collaborating with the Central Government, we aim to cover government hospitals as well.
Parallel to this, we leverage the power of cloud to go Global. Promoting the service to doctors as well as hospital chains abroad shall be a part of the growth strategy.

¿Qué hace que tu negocio esté “listo” para crecer?
Government support is anticipated in this field in the next couple of years.
Government is preparing ‘Rural Doctors’ who, by a course of 4 years, learn basic treatments. This workforce can be utilized to treat the patients with the help from Telemedicine, which will lead to decreased incentives to be paid.
¿Cuáles son tus objetivos centrales de crecimiento?
The key growth objectives are:
Implementing Cloud based Healthcare system in 5 major hospital chains across India.
Connecting rural India's primary healthcare centers with these hospitals (villages within 250 km area of each hospital) through Telemedicine.
Financial break-even by the end of 3rd year in operation.
¿Cuál es tu plazo de tiempo para el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo? ¿Cuáles son tus objetivos y actividades centrales futuros?
Profit Analysis:
Profit will be Rs. 110000 per month per cluster. (considering 10 patients per week getting telemedicine treatment and 4 of them actually contributing to the hospital treatment, with 25% of the profit earned by hospital.)
Thus, at the end of 1 year, each cluster can break-even.
After that, if 10 clusters are made, almost Rs. 1.1 crore per month will be the profit.
7 colleges (100 licenses per unit)
3 research centres (50 licenses per unit)
25 hospitals (20 licenses per unit)
Average usage: 4 hours a day
Revenue generated will be approximately Rs. 3200000 per month or Rs. 38400000 per year.
Taking the loan and interest into account, and also expecting more participation from the healthcare firms, the system is expected to start generating profit from the 4th year.

The proposed solution is to be implemented.
Meanwhile we conducted a Primary Research while working on a case study on Google Health. The results helped us understand the factors which inhibit customers from using online healthcare services. These factors (in descending order of importance) are:
1. Complicated to use
2. My doctors doesn't use it
3. Not useful at all
4. Privacy and data security concerns
Since we have already assessed the impact of Google Health and identified the reasons of its failure, we have a fair share of idea of what gaps need to be fulfilled in order to make our model impactful and sustainable.
¿Qué métodos cuantitativos de impacto social estás aplicando (si estuvieras aplicando alguno)?
Social impact would be measured on the basis of 3 parameters:
1. Number of patients registered as users of the Cloud based service
2. Number of doctors registered for the service
3. Number of Multi-specialty Hospital chains integrated the platform on there IT systems
4. Geographical coverage in terms of Number of cities, towns and villages
5. Reduction in mortality rate due to lack of primary healthcare
6. Reduction in the number of doctors required in OPD
¿Tu solución podría operar en otros conextos o regiones? Si así fuera, ¿en dónde?
Cloud computing is a global service.
For example: A patient in India registered for the proposed service go for treatment in a Multi-specialty hospital in USA without carrying any medical records if that hospital has implemented this service on their systems. The hospital need not conduct all the tests again as they have electronic access to the patient's medical history.
We conducted a Primary Research to determine the factors important for choosing a location. After running a factor analysis on the data, the following factors were obtained along with their relative weight-age:
Climate – 10%
Number of Population in the rural area to be covered – 15%
Per capita of first 25% of population – 35%
Distance of the the tertiary hospital from the rural area – 20%
Government Policy – 20%
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
In the first year of operation, we target 80 multi-specialty hospital chains and nearly 400 doctors.
Over the next 3 years, we aim to have our service implemented across 200 hospitals in India. We aim to have approximately 1000 doctors as our customers during this time period.
Mortality rate from emergencies such as a heart attack to reduce almost by 33%.
Almost 20% of the requirement of the doctors can be reduced in the OPDs.

The break up of the cost of implementing the required technology is as following:
Cost of a server – Rs. 150000
Interest @5% & 3 year amortization – Rs. 157500
Infrastructure Cost (Transformers, UPS, Generators) – Rs. 18400
Power Cost – Rs. 5957
Network Cost – Rs. 4000
Total Cost per Server (Inclusive of setup and other components) – Rs. 185857
Total Cost for 600 servers: Rs. 11,16,00,000
600 servers would be required to serve 300 clusters or data centers. So the above equipment would serve our model for the first 3-4 years of operation. We seek this investment from Venture Capitalists and explore the opportunity of getting some technology from the government at subsidized rates.

Explica tu estrategia de generación de ingresos más detalladamente
The annual cost of an account of a Multi-specialty hospital shall be Rs. 50000. This subscription fee would be paid by the hospital every year.
Similarly, the annual cost of an account for a doctor (stand-alone practitioner) shall be Rs. 5000
For the first year, subscription fees shall not be charged for patients. They shall be charged once they get acquainted with the software, start feeling that the service adds to their convenience and much of their medical records go online via hospitals and doctors.
The model once implemented at a location, can be replicated at other locations as well.
Rural India is a large untapped area where patients have a willingness to consult specialist doctors but do not have the capability to do so. So, Telemedicine would lead to sustainable revenues.
