The Innovators’ Summer School (ISS) is an initiative of UNECA (United Nations Economic Commission for Africa), and annually organized by ABEC.
The ISS 2015 programme will focus on building the technical skills of students from 13 African universities on the application of mobile telephony in the design of medical devices. At the end of the programme, students and researchers would have been empowered with modern critical skills and techniques on how to enable smartphone to serve as a life-saving medical device.
Smartphones are multi-use multi-capability devices that are increasingly affordable, and have been used in Africa to promote financial inclusion. Mobile phones present enormous possibilities in the healthcare sector in terms of connectivity, visualization, sensors, storage, etc.
