Program areas at Medic Mobile
The organization designs, delivers, and supports software that helps community health workers, managers, and clinical teams work together to provide care. The organization's tools support health workers across the globe. The organization works with more than 100 partners to deliver its technology toolkit to health workers, and also distributes a free, self-service version of its software and training resources. In 2019, Medic Mobile, Inc., and collaborating partners launched the community health toolkit as a global public good. Medic Mobile, Inc. Serves as the technical steward for this open-source project. The organization's work is inspired by community health workers.
We believe creating and supporting open-source projects promotes accountability, encourages local ownership and adaptation, and supports standards that enable collaboration and efficient data-sharing. We work in solidarity with technical organizations, governments, and ngos to harness these tools for care coordination, health workforce performance management, and wider health systems strengthening.
For over a decade Medic's research collaborations have helped to demonstrate that digital tools can strengthen health systems and improve care in hard-to-reach communities. We and our partners have conducted seminal studies on text messaging for care coordination, digital decision support, performance analytics, and human-centered design for community health. Medic's multidisciplinary research team leads a range of in-house studies and supports a thriving network of scientific collaborators.
