32. The First Bus Map of
Dhaka
Data collection is not easy – especially on moving buses. Our top qualities
for a good flock is one that 1) share your values, 2) rides the vehicle that you
are looking to map, 3) can mobilize quickly, and 4) gives brutally honest
feedback. Jackets help too.
33. In Dhaka, a physical bus sign may be the best way to reach bus riders. In
Nairobi, SMS. Your final info-products should guide your data collection
process and not the
other way around.
২৭
34. While sometimes the best tools will be pen and paper, mobile devices like
smartphones and tablets make data collection easier to monitor and manage
esp when you have a large flock. They also can be programmed to
simultaneously collect data that is automatically sensored and human sensored
like crowding.

45. Current Situation
Smart mobile technology is poised
to transform global healthcare
Existing healthcare challenges in resource poor-
settings in Bangladesh
• Inaccessibility to treatment / clinical testing
• Unsustainable costs to monitor chronic diseases
• Low patient outcomes for treatment
49. Concept: Discharging healthcare
from high-cost venues to accessible
locations
Strategy: Patients use smart mobility to improve wellness
Measurable impact: By mid-2012, 13,000 consumer health apps available on iPhone
Nike + Fuel Band: Social-mobile fitness app
http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/nikeplus-fuelband
50. Strategy: Effective management
of chronic diseases
AT&T’s DiabetesManager:
Users enter blood sugars
through mobile devices
Measurable Impact: Gives
caretakers ability to coach
and track progress
www.att.com/Common/about.../final_att_mhealth_diabetesmanager.pdf
Concept: Discharging healthcare
from high-cost venues to accessible
locations
51. Strategy: Advanced remote
mobile disease monitoring
Harvard Medical School’s
Lens-less imaging platform:
Briefcase specimen analysis
Measurable Impact:
Significantly cost-reduced
bio-sensing detection on
mobile device and
transmission to specialists
http://web.mit.edu/bammlabs/
Concept: Discharging healthcare from
high-cost venues to accessible
locations
52. Key characteristics of successfully
localized software
§ How can we make apps more easy and engaging to use?
§ How can we take low-cost technologies used in
developed world and implement them in resource-
limited setting?
§ How can we create applications that provide real-time
comparative information without the need for
physicians?
§ How can we design devices that integrate into existing
widely-used platforms?
54. Concept: When users to
become adopters
Emerging
mobile
technology
is
a
game-‐changer
for
healthcare
professionals
Simple applications
significantly improve medical
care in the developing world
World Health Partners –minimally-trained
professionals who:
• Send patient information via text message to physicians
• Physicians send texts back to recommend best course of
action
http://worldhealthpartners.org/?p=10
55. Mobility is accessibility, which
makes it translatable globally
OpenMRS: Open-source electronic
medical record (EMR) software built
by global community of
professionals
• Mobile-access to EMR data to
improve health care delivery
• Diverse community to build
scalable, user-driven system
platform
https://mdrtbdemo.pih-emr.org/openmrs/
Emerging mobile technology is a game-changer for healthcare
professionals
Concept: When users to
become adopters
57. The impact
“Doctors can be replaced by software – 80% of
them can. I’d much rather have a good
machine learning system diagnose my
disease than the median or average doctor”
-Vinod Khosla
Rock Health Innovation Summit - August
60. design thinking
Design thinking offers an alternative to the rigidity of traditional project
management and can help drive successful projects.
Kazi Monirul Kabir
@monirul
61. A mindset and set of values that applies both analytical
and creative thinking towards solving a specific problem
62. A methodology for innovation that combines creative and
analytical approaches, and requires collaboration across
disciplines
64. 6 design thinking principles for
successful project management
1. Put a multidisciplinary
team in charge
2. Prepare for failure in the
beginning
3. Be both vision- and task-
driven
4. Fail and correct then fail
again
5. Make tangible prototypes
6. Embrace ambiguity
68. What
is
Custom
Map?
Custom
Map
is
one
kind
of
Google
Maps
which
we
use
to
show
our
own
Loca3ons,
Paths
or
anything
else.
Like,
you
have
a
large
Company
which
has
many
branches
and
different
loca3ons.
Now
you
want
to
let
your
customer
show
all
your
branch
loca3on
in
a
Map
which
is
not
possible
by
making
a
full
new
map.
Google
Earth
&
Maps
solved
this
problem
by
giving
an
opportunity
to
make
your
own
map
and
to
share
that
with
the
world!
70. Go
to
Google
Maps
@
h`p://maps.google.com/
and
then
find
your
Area
Loca%on.
Log
in
with
your
Gmail
account
&
click
on
My
Maps
and
then
click
on
Create
New
Map
Bu`on.
How
and
Where?
71. Hope
you
got
it
how
&
where
to
start.
Now
make
your
own
map.
But
actually
why
we
are
doing
this
and
how
we
can
use
this?
• You
can
plan
your
event
&
distribute
informa3on
to
par3cipants
• Generate
a
map
loca%ng
your
organiza%on's
branches
across
the
country
or
across
the
globe
for
anyone
to
see.
• Map
out
your
volunteer
base
and
geographically
plan
objec3ves
for
reaching
out.
You
can
use
this
map
in
your
web
site
or
can
share
the
direct
link
of
the
map
to
your
targeted
people!
72. How
we
mapped
Cyclone
Shelters?
When
we
heard
that
there
are
a
Database
of
all
cyclone
shelters
of
Bangladesh,
all
mappers
started
work.
But
we
faced
problems
with
GPS
loca3on
data.
Mr.
Kazi
Monirul
Kabir,
Country
Consultant
of
Bangladesh
helped
us
by
providing
all
loca3on
data
in
Binary
format
of
Chi`agong
District.
Right
aher
that,
we
mapped
the
604
Cyclone
Shelter
of
CTG
within
25.5
hours!
Our
expert
RERs
mapped
these
shelters
together
by
choosing
individual
Sub-‐Districts
and
Unions.
It’s
a
team
work
which
made
this
possible
and
now
people
on
the
project
are
s3ll
mapping
out
cyclone
shelters
in
remaining
15
coastal
districts,
but
the
project
has
decelerated
having
no
CSID
spreadsheet
for
other
districts
shared
with
us
yet.
75. I
Hope
you
will
be
interested
using
this
mapping
process
for
your
business
Best
of
Luck…..
