Being exposed to social innovation circles, I've been encountering and getting inspired by projects developed through use of technology. Here are some I met during last week..
Medic Mobile: To Get People into Care and Stay in Care...
Getting People Into Care: Remote Patient Registration and Danger Sign Monitoring
Using their tools, a community health worker in a rural setting can now enroll a pregnant mother or a newborn baby into essential services, continuously monitor and report on their condition, notify clinics of observed danger signs, and receive advice and assistance. This real-time data and feedback draws previously disconnected villages into the system of care.
Helping People Stay in Care: Notifications for Antenatal Care (ANC) and Immunizations
Preliminary data from a Medic Mobile project in India has shown an increase in immunization coverage by more than 20% by sending mothers an SMS notification when their children were due for vaccination.

Labor Link: Labor Link enables you to connect with the people in your supply chain.
Developed by Good World Solutions, Labor Link is a worker-centric platform that enables direct worker engagement by leveraging the rapid spread of mobile phones in the developing world. The platform has two core components:
Information Push to Workers
Labor Link utilizes short message service (SMS) and interactive voice response (IVR) to deliver relevant/actionable information to base-of-the-pyramid workers. Information varies based on context, but typically includes messages about government services, as well as labor rights, education, training and financial security. Brief messages are “blasted” to workers using SMS. For longer, more in-depth messages, IVR is employed. In each case, workers receive information directly to their mobile phones at no cost.
Information Collection and Visualization for Brands/Clients
Labor Link also uses IVR to collect information from workers. A brand joins the program and introduces Labor Link to their suppliers. Workers receive marketing materials about Labor Link with directions on how to participate. Mobile surveys are then administered to participants about job satisfaction, working and living conditions, compensation and other topics using voice-recordings. All answers are anonymous and saved in a cloud-based database. Data is analyzed and returned to the brand in a customized report.
Both components provide stakeholders with a true value proposition. For workers, they enjoy increased access to relevant information they can use to challenge the status quo and upgrade their working conditions. They also are provided a channel through which they can share thoughts and opinions to distant buyers. Brands benefit from improved oversight and a means to both identify success stories and action areas within their supply-chain.
