Health

Description

From ground-breaking apps accelerating medical research to apps helping consumers make healthier choices, we're looking for apps that are making health information and medical services more accessible to all.

 

Nominations - Health

London's Air Ambulance Dispatch App - London's Air Ambulance / Mubaloo Ltd

Health

- Gold

The Disptach app, created for London’s Air Ambulance through EE’s Customised App Partnership with Mubaloo, can reduce emergency dispatch time by an average of two minutes and in some cases, rapid response cars can be dispatched in as little as 10 seconds. By providing access to the necessary information more efficiently, teams can be dispatched quicker to deliver life saving treatment.

 

Low cost phone app to diagnose pneumonia - Nossal Institute for Global Health

Health

- Silver

The app allows health workers in the field, particularly in remote areas, to accurately count breaths so they can distinguish between pneumonia and other causes of fever that less often increase breathing rates, such as malaria and colds. The ingenious but easy-to-use app asks for the child’s age and then tells the health worker to press any numerical button on the phone every time the child breathes. The app then gives an estimate of the breathing rate after 10 breaths and again after 20 breaths, before giving a final one-minute count. Once a faster breathing rate is detected, the workers can diagnose pneumonia and give suitable antibiotic treatment rather than misdiagnose a cold and send the child home where they may die.
