Advancing Global Health Tech with DataDyne

We at Focus Washington fully understand what happens at the Intersection of Technology, Government, and Policy. However, when these three elements meet on a platform of social entrepreneurship for the greater good, true magic can happen.

Working as a physician with an emphasis on global health, Joel Selanikio worked throughout the world, doing his best to combat global health crises with limited resources, including access to critical data. Identifying this need, Joel worked to create DataDyne, a company dedicated to providing health information solutions that are completely mobile, and in some cases, completely free.

The explosion of mobile phones and web access across the developing world have made possible a whole new range of scalable, sustainable applications. DataDyne's multiple-award-winning EpiSurveyor.org is the first such application: taking a cue from Google and Facebook, DataDyne created a mobile-phone-and-web-based data collection system that you can have up and running in an hour or less (think of the first time you logged into Gmail) without consultants or meetings or contracts or MOUs.
