Vaccination Alert system, in partnership with technology firm Mapunity

Through this, at no cost, advance vaccination alerts are automatically sent over mobile telephones or internet to Mothers of babies and children. While this is now being beta tested at the elite Manipal private hospital in Bangalore, UWBe has signed an MOU to make it available for public health at no cost through any United Way Chapter across the world. It will explore prospects of deploying it at Schools for the under-privileged, such as CSHP.



Variants of this application can be used to support issues of womens health (pre and post natal), daibetes, and other ailments.

Vaccination alerts for new born babies

Supported by United Way, Mapunity and Manipal Hospital signed an MOU to deploy the Vaccidate Application for beta testing. The first deployment of the vaccination alert system has gone live, for new born babies.



By the end of the year 2009, it is expected that the vaccination alert system would be covering 2,000 new born babies through this single deployment. Other deployments are planned. The prospect of expanding the application for pre and post natal alerts for Mothers is also being looked into.
