Major Activities

Activity 2

Remote temperature monitoring of vaccines: we began a project to use mobile phones to monitor the temperature inside of refrigerators and cold storage facilities that house and transport vaccines and other temperature-sensitive medications. The transportation, storage, and distribution infrastructure that keeps vaccines and other temperature sensitive medications at controlled temperatures, called the cold chain, is unreliable in most developing countries. The last mile of the cold chain, which includes rural clinics and delivery by foot as a health worker travels from one village to the next, is particularly vulnerable, marked by unreliable power and generator fuel tanks that run dry. If the cold chain is not maintained from the manufacturer to the location where vaccines are administered, the vaccines can become less potent or completely ineffective.our sensor combines commercially available android smartphone, an inexpensive plug-in temperature sensor, and a software application running on android. The system makes it possible to wirelessly upload temperature data through the mobile phone from almost any location and immediately deliver sms alerts about vaccines reaching critical temperatures and equipment failures to the cell phones of clinic managers or other healthcare system officials. These alerts allow managers the opportunity to repair the refrigerator or move the medicines to a safer location, thereby reducing vaccine wastage and increasing the overall number of vaccine doses available for immunizations.our service accomplishments include: (1) designing and testing sensor hardware and software and server system software; (2) conducting laboratory and field tests to determine the accuracy of the system; (3) conducting field tests of the system in clinics in kilifi, kenya with the support of the district ministry of health officer in the kilifi district, and planning a field tests at hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical storage facilities in haiti.

Activity 3

Water quality: received government grant of $150,813 during year. We have been working with a u.s. Nonprofit and an indonesian ngo to build a communication system that gathers crowdsourced reports about water services for the urban poor in indonesia. Using sms or the internet, residents in two indonesian cities are able to remotely report problematic conditions such as poor water quality, leaking pipes, needed infrastructure improvements and poor water services. They are also able to view responses from utilities and other water providers about the status of repairs, service calls and other actions to address complaints. This project is working to bring information from both residents and utilities into a centralized web platform that will help water providers be more accountable to their customers and provide residents with transparent information. Additionally, it will create a highly accessible, granular data set about water conditions in indonesia, which can help governments, civic organizations and water managers develop better ways of getting clean water to more people. Our service accomplishments include: (1) programming and developing the system software, web interface, backend configurations, sms functionality, and system features; (2) participating in user-centered design sessions and meetings with indonesian residents, utilities and other water supply organizations; and (3) making presentations for, discussing the project with water utility officials in two indonesian cities.
