Hello! We're hoping to find a Stanford software engineer who would be interested in working on a healthIT project with a focus in Kenya and other parts of East Africa.
A little about the project - We plan to create an integrated application on low-cost Android tablets for use by healthcare practitioners and managers at public health facilities in Kenya. The software will serve four functions: (1) provide form-based algorithms to guide diagnosis and subsequent treatment; (2) ensure safe data collection integrated with OpenMRS, an open-source EMR; (3) track out-of-pocket payments to health facilities and expenses paid by health facilities; (4) monitor inventory at health facilities We believe this mobile software will lead to higher quality care by addressing the need for better training and understanding of diagnosis techniques at the time of care, providing more information on patient histories and backgrounds, ensuring that money paid to facilities is tracked appropriately and creating an inventory system to ensure that essential supplies are consistently stocked in every facility. This information will also influence top-down decision-making by helping the central government to easily identify areas, both geographical and operational, for improvement. Some components of the platform will leverage existing open source software like Open Data Kit and OpenMRS. If you have a background programming for Android or Java and are interested in learning more, please email me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you! jessica -- Jessica Vernon M.D Candidate, Stanford University School of Medicine +1.650.308.6861 | [email protected]
