MoCa team interview session @ Lien i3 Challenge

The MoCa team interview session at the Lien i3 Challenge, held last September 3, 2009 at the Singapore Management University. The team explains what MoCa is, its innovative social impact, and the core technologies behind it. Present in the interview were Leo Anthony Celi, Christopher Moses, and Ivan Clement.

MoCa stands for Mobile Care, and is a public-private partnership that began as a collaboration of students and faculty members at MIT and Harvard. MoCa offers a cell phone-based interoperable clinical information system allowing the transmission of any type of medical data, whether text, audio, video or photo, from a rural health worker to a remote medical specialist for diagnosis, and for incorporation into an electronic medical record. In addition, MoCa delivers a re-engineered workflow process and outcome metrics to optimize healthcare delivery.

since we're adopting a fully open-source platform, I don't think we can do that anymore...

..not unless Microsoft would consider funding us because we're trying to make MoCa interoperable :)
