Why Medi-SIM?
New Opportunities
• help improve people’s health even save lives!
• bring true value to consumers
• Pesinet project in Mali and Senegal (not our work)
• Local staff transmit infants’ weights and symptoms via a Java app on their cell phones
• In Senegal, infant mortality rate fell from 120 per 1000 to 8 per 1000
• Self-financing, after installation costs covered by donors
Reported July 20, 2007 by Balancing Act, Africa, issue 364
Our Goal:
Build platforms for mobile health applications achieve this kind of impact
in more places around the world
An Inspiring Example
Mobile Health Applications
• Tools for Health Workers
• Mobile Medical Records
• Public Health Data Collection and Surveillance
• Personal Health Care and Education
Tools for Health Workers
• Help with medical calculations– growth chart– medication dosage
• Help with medical protocols– WHO Integrated
Management of Childhood Illness
• Logistical Tools– NFC ID cards– Drug Inventory Tracking
• Medical Records

Mobile Medical Records and Data Collection
• Patient Medical Records(details from patient visits)– diagnoses, lab results– prescriptions– growth record– vaccinations– etc.
• Public Health Monitoring(stats from aggregated records)– malnutrition level– disease surveillance– vaccine adverse reaction
reporting– etc.

Personal Health Care and Education
• Enable people themselves to monitor and learn more about their health
• Simplified Tools– simple symptom checker– baby growth chart– etc.
• Personal Health Records– personal records– lab results– medication tracking

Medi-SIM• Enables development of
these applications using SIM cards
• SIM-based solution ensures broadest possible reach
• Enables low-end phones– important in developing world
• While taking advantage of new features where available– Gemalto’s SCWS, NFC, etc.

Medi-SIM Demos(Proofs-of-Concept)
• WHO Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI)– demonstrates mobile phone as tool for health workers– SCWS version demonstrates multimedia
• Baby Growth Chart with NFC– tool for health workers– but also demonstrates use of NFC for more accurate ID
• Personal Health Tool– personal health records example– educational tool
Using Gemalto Technologies
• SIM Toolkit– text-based interaction– works on even very old low-end phones with no J2ME– broadest reach
• NFC– use to scan ID– other possible uses (e.g.,pharmaceutical inventory
tracking)
• SCWS– multimedia interface
WHO Integrated Management of Childhood
Illness (IMCI)• Guides health workers through
the 5 leading illnesses responsible for 70% of child deaths
• Previous work (by Dr. Neal Lesh et al.) has shown PDAs can be helpful
• SIM-based IMCI originally proposed by Dr. Alvin Marcelo (Philippines) for use in his community health projects in remote rural areas
WHO IMCI
Medi-SIM Personal Applications
• Personal Electronic Baby Book– growth chart calculator and record– record other health info and notable events
• e.g., vaccinations, prescriptions, etc.
– can be used by both parents and doctors / health workers
– “Twitter for new parents”!
• Medical Guides for Patients– simplified guides and information
Near Field Communication (NFC)
• For Patient ID cards– more accurate and secure
• Tracking package tags– e.g., drug inventory and
logistics tracking
• Demo– ID scanning application
using Gemalto’s Proximera SIM
– can also use J2ME
Smart Card Web Server (SCWS)
• Automatic code generationXML our compiler SCWS
• Supports images and media
Other Possibilities
• Security– one of the main advantages of SIMs– use SIMs even when using J2ME for the GUI
• Back-end Databases, Medical Records– we are part of the OpenROSA consortium– potential to hook up with widely used systems such as OpenMRS
• Integration of Other SIMagine projects and techniques– security and privacy are very important in health applications
Marketing Appeal(for Mobile Network Operators)
• Health is an important issue to everyone
• Corporate Social Responsibility – Maybe not directly profitable– But help save lives and improve people’s health
• Consumer-oriented Services may be profitable– Mobile Personal Medical Records– Mobile accessible informative medical content– etc.
Conclusion
• Our goal is not just to create a few apps• We want to enable many apps
Future potential• Develop and field-test Medi-SIM in
partnership with health projects in developing countries
• Develop personal health care value-added services– in both developing and developed countries
