Grameen Healthcare in conjunction with the World Healthcare Innovations and Technology Congress (WHIT v5.0) hosted a poster session on Extremely Affordable Health Innovations at this year’s World Healthcare Innovation and Technology (WHIT) conference, November 8-10, 2009 in Washington, DC. Pesinet has been selected to present a poster as part of this session.
The work we are doing to monitor children’s health using mobile phones was showcased among other initiatives that had been identified as having great potential to address the need for quality care targeting low-income populations.
The session showcased 50 projects ranging from mobile health solutions to water purification and sanitary health. It aimed at promoting innovations that seek to meet demands for low-cost, high quality care through a bottom-up understanding of unmet health needs and display a culture for continuous, incremental improvement of existing services.
Presenters had the opportunity to discuss their work and build relationships with a vast range of attendees including over 400 IT executives from hospitals, health systems and health plans tasked with making multi million IT decisions on the applications and technologies required 
to be an innovative leader, as well as academics and experts from the most prestigious universities.
