Many people use apps on their cell phones to take photos, text, and stay in touch with friends. School of Medicine Professor , Meds카지노 게임 컬렉션97, uses apps to improve people카지노 게임 컬렉션s health and save lives.
Dr. Yeates has received major funding to help develop several large-scale programs that use apps to monitor and improve the lives of women in Africa suffering from health issues such as cervical cancer and preeclampsia.
Access to health care can be difficult for women in rural villages in Africa, as some have to travel hours to get to an urban medical centre.
The solution? Innovation. Design a medical app that gives local health-care professionals the tools to work in the villages. Teams of nurses are trained and empowered to use the app to send patients카지노 게임 컬렉션 medical screening photos and health information to doctors in urban areas for evaluation.
카지노 게임 컬렉션There is a lot of global health research using mobile health for various things,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Yeates. 카지노 게임 컬렉션You name a problem and there is probably an app out there for it 카지노 게임 컬렉션 maternal health, neonatal care, COVID, kidney care.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Yeates first got involved in doing health care in Africa when a physician friend invited her to help at an HIV clinic.
카지노 게임 컬렉션That was it for me. I felt very at home. I was already doing a fair bit of research into access to care for Indigenous people (in Canada). I realized there was a lot of nephrology work that could be done in Africa.카지노 게임 컬렉션
She first got involved in the cervical cancer screening programs while working on a dialysis program in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Women were being referred to her clinic from all over Tanzania with kidney failure due to late-stage cervical cancer. Unfortunately, she couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t help them. In Canada, almost no one dies of cervical cancer because of access to preventive screening.
So Dr. Yeates, working with partners in Africa, looked at mobile technology to solve the problem. In 2016-2017, the project screened about 10,000 women a year. The latest version of the project, which has been delayed by COVID-19, is hoping to screen 100,000 women a year.
Launching a large-scale mobile health program is not something Dr. Yeates was taught in medical school, but it is now a vital skill she has learned. She knows how to work with partners to create an effective mobile health program strategy that can attract funding, produce data that shows the health outcomes, and 카지노 게임 컬렉션 if the initial project is successful 카지노 게임 컬렉션 easily scale to expand and reach more people.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I learned a lot over the years through trial and error,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Yeates says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I find that funders now won카지노 게임 컬렉션t fund a glitzy app that can do x-y-z unless you can prove that you have a plan on how to sustain and scale it.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Her work is getting attention from organizations like the Gates Foundation and has been featured on and BBC World News. In 2015, she received $1 million from the Canadian government for a mobile platform help monitor pregnant women in Tanzania for preeclampsia-eclampsia.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Using technology to overcome barriers like access to care is so important,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Yeates says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션These programs provide us an incredible opportunity to save women카지노 게임 컬렉션s lives.카지노 게임 컬렉션
