About
ClickMedix is a global mobile health (mHealth) social enterprise founded by faculty and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University to increase capacity of physicians and health organizations to serve more patients. By enabling existing medical experts to serve more patients, we can address the following global healthcare challenges:
Lack of access: Patients cannot easily reach doctors.
Lack of funds: Patients cannot afford the high cost of healthcare, and governments/NGOs are unable to subsidize under-served populations entirely
Lack of medical resources: Most countries face severe shortages of trained healthcare professionals, especially medical specialists
Our Mission is to bring affordable and quality health services to under-served patients, by enabling health organizations to reach more patients through mobile phone/tablet facilitated remote diagnosis, as well as remote training and supervision of their staff assistants, nurses, and health workers.
ClickMedix has been used worldwide to reduce wait time for patients from months to less than 72 hours, allow physicians to serve 4-15 times more patients, as well as create more skilled work force and new jobs for community-based and home-based healthcare services. We are world-class medical professionals, public health practitioners, technologists, development activists, entrepreneurs, and business strategists to bring new dimensions to addressing these challenges using mobile phones.
As mobile phone coverage extends to all corners of the world, mobile-phone based health services are becoming increasingly ubiquitous for connecting different layers of the health infrastructure, enabling real-time collection of health data and remote diagnosis of patients by medical experts. Our innovative mobile health (mHealth) platform connects health service providers, reduces cost of service delivery, and optimally utilizes tiers of existing health system for patient care. A community health-worker or a clinic nurse with a Click-enabled mobile phone is able to act as the primary agent for service delivery, as she is connected to the mHealth platform and the entire health system.
