- #15 Net2: Nettuesday: Net Tuesdays are a chance for social changemakers interested in the social web to come together offline to share success stories, learn about projects and tools, and collaborate. Over 30 cities around the world including Douala, Cameroon and Guayaquil, Ecuador A winner in N2Y4: FrontlineSMS:Medic (pilot in Malawi) In the developing world, lack of infrastructure prevents health workers from delivering efficient healthcare to rural areas. As health workers travel from clinics to reach isolated patients, they are often as disconnected from central clinics as the patients they are trying to serve. The mission of FrontlineSMS:Medic is to advance healthcare networks in under served communities using innovative, appropriate mobile technologies. The centerpiece of our system is FrontlineSMS, a free, open-source software platform that enables large-scale, two-way text messaging using only a laptop, a GSM modem, and inexpensive cell phones . We are also extending the FrontlineSMS platform to enable better patient management, electronic medical records via the cell phone, cheap mobile diagnostics, and mapping of health services.
- #16 The Boomer Esiason Foundation was just one organization present that shared its success story of using Second Life as a platform for Cystic Fibrosis patients to connect and support one another. Cystic Fibrosis is an aggressive and debilitating disease. Patients are often tethered to vibrating vests and machines to keep their lungs mucus-free. To avoid serious cross-infections, patients are discouraged from interacting with one another in real life. In many cases, the virtual world of Second Life is the only opportunity for patients to meet others with the disease in a real-time setting. In this virtual environment, patients are able to socialize, get support and advice, and to connect with others who understand their condition. Second Life is superior to a chat room for these purposes as it provides a unique venue for creative self-expression. The patients, for example, have created a photo gallery where their avatars can guide others through a hall of photos showing self-portraits of their human selves and explaining the meaning behind each shot.
- #17 The program has dramatically expanded the supply of computers to schools, charities, and NGOs around the world.
