“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Health & Technology: Expense: $154,344Global Strategies develops and implements innovative technological solutions that help our partners overcome the challenges of their limited resource settings. We focus on using simple and scalable technologies that allow healthcare providers to track their outcomes in real-time using cloud-based data collection software and analysis tools. We help our partners establish baseline data in neonatal mortality rates and stillbirth rates. Additionally, we use technology to track inventory of critical supplies and predict stock needs over time. We also work to bridge the gap between care delivery and data collection by developing software programs that facilitate care delivery while simultaneously collecting data that guides resource allocation. Global Strategies developed our own neonatal decision support tool, called NoviGuide, which we have begun, field-testing.
