The Peruvian experience could be a great opportunity to explore business models and information and communication technologies in developing countries. I am involved in this project and our plan is to integrate electronic medical records with mobile health applications. Our first target is the field of maternal health but there are a lot of opportunities. Jose is a master's student in Epidemiology. Feel free to contact Jose for further details.
