Ovim Health – Remote Monitoring of Heart Patients in Nigeria

By
Tekedia Editors

Mobile-Based Integrated Heart Monitoring System is still on course to hit stores.  This product will enable doctors and hospitals obtain heart beat or professionally ECG signals of patients remotely. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the world and we understand that if patients can be remotely wired and appropriately monitored by experts, more lives will be saved.

The system comes with a Bluetooth-based device that transmits physiological signals captured by electrodes. It is a wearable device that does not in any form obstruct the normal life of the patient. As the sensors pick the heart signals, they are amplified and processed.  Through the Bluetooth interface, the data is sent wirelessly to Ovim Tablet. We are developing an Android based App that will show all the results in the tablet.  This technology is non invasive and does not pose any single health risk.  From Ovim, the patient can send to his/her doctor or a central database. We have designed this system so that the data can be linked to the patient mobile-based electronic medical records (mEMR) which we are presently offering in the country.

We are offering this service to hospitals in Nigeria and governments that want to track and support elderly patients. We want to eliminate the stress of asking someone to travel 6 hours for a 5 minute medical checkup when that can be acquired remotely.

Together with our mobile-based Electronic Medical Records, these two companies are poised to change healthcare delivery in Nigeria. That is why we are giving the nation Ovim Tablet. Owing this magical device is opening opportunities that will not be possible if we have to depend on 3rd party platforms.

This product will still have to pass through Nigeria Medical Association certification. We have already started all the necessary procedures. But we are confident that it will pass since it is designed to comply with all international standards. And it will be very affordable. Also, the system is non-invasive.

*Ovim is a product of Microscale and Fasmicro. Ovim Health is a health solution under Ovim tablet.

IPad Angola 2011 – 13/15 September, Luanda

Infrastructure Partnerships for African Development (iPAD) Angola 2011 will bring together investors, high profile government dignitaries and high profile executives from national and international public and private companies, in order to explore investment opportunities, assess the Angolan business ecosystem, understand the operational and regulatory frameworks, as well as to establish partnerships in the following sectors: Logistics and Transport, Energy, Water and Sanitation, Agriculture and Mining.

 

Introduction

iPAD Angola is the latest addition to the successful iPAD series. The goal in launching the iPAD series was to create a powerful and cost-effective source of knowledge to assist stakeholders – government, public and private sector, local and international investors – to strengthen their network and business footprint, build a valuable database of contacts and investigate investment opportunities in key sectors like power, mining, water, transport/construction, agriculture, ICT/telecoms, and finance. These events provide a forum for government and business to meet and explore opportunities for developing and investing in the infrastructure of the West, Central, East and Southern African regions. iPAD Angola will continue this tradition by creating an enabling environment for business to flourish and grow, delivering insights into one of Africa’s most lucrative investment hubs.

 

Angola is on the move. As the second fastest growing economy on the African continent, the country’s government is taking aggressive steps to facilitate foreign investment in the country, mainly through Angola’s National Agency for Private Investment (Agência Nacional para o Investimento Privado) ANIP. Since 2003, ANIP has been involved in the launch of over 1124 projects representing more than US$4 billion in investment capital.

 

Driven by its oil and mineral reserves, the country’s infrastructure has to catch up with its economy; this unique dynamic means that few other nations right now offer as many opportunities for the entire scope of infrastructure development, including power, water, roads, telecoms ports and harbours. It is a land of opportunity for companies wishing to grow their business interests.

 

The Angolan Government has prioritised the following goals to facilitate maximum growth:

  • Re-establishment of the macroeconomics goals
  • Creation of a legal framework consistent with the market economy system
  • Institutional reform and conclusion of the State property restructuring and privatisation process
  • Credit and financial system reforms
  • Investment incentives

The Infrastructure Partnerships for African Development (iPAD) Angola 2011 conference and product showcase provides a forum for government and business to meet and explore opportunities for developing and investing in the infrastructure of Angola.

The private sector will drive growth in Angola and, to help it do so, the government is striving to promote an enabling environment. This means listening to the private sector, lending directly to private interests and reforming legal and regulatory frameworks to strengthen governance and accountability. Potentially one of Africa’s richest sub-Saharan countries, Angola offers great opportunities for investment in various sectors. iPAD Angola provides a high-level networking platform that investigates opportunities in key infrastructure verticals including oil and gas, transport, construction, telecoms/ICT, finance and mining.

Regional Reach Is The TV for Rural Kenya and Media Hub

Regional Reach began by providing television access to rural Kenya through 200 shops that served as media information centers to as many as 400 people at a time. As TV purchase and ownership grew, it shifted to radio, targeting the largest tribe in Kenya with 70% Kikuyu content, and added 24 hour TV news in the past year. Thanks to a get-it-done mentality Regional Reach has been able to innovate faster than its competitors and has been laude by customers for being the most innovative company with the best customer service in the industry.

 

“Regional Reach is one of Kenya’s leading media companies, occupying a niche market providing Kikuyu radio programming and 24 hour local news content and news related shows.”


The company built its brand and grew through innovation, such as quick customer responsiveness and creating links to viewers through SMS and clubs. The company’s radio service addresses education gaps by providing rural Kenyans with local news. Corporate social responsibility activities include a program providing funds for drinking water to villages and PCs to students.

 

Regional Reach is one of the leading players in the Kenya electronic media industry with a history of being a catalyst in the growth of the local broadcast sector. In 2000 the company launched the first local-language FM radio station in the country, Kameme FM, triggering the phenomenal growth of vernacular radio sector seen in Kenya over the last 7 years. Today, vernacular radio is the fastest growing category in the broadcast sector in Kenya accounting for 37% of the sector.

 

In November 2007, Regional Reach launched Kenya’s and East Africa’s first 24-hour all-news television channel – K24, initially covering Nairobi and its environs. The launch of K24 on the platform “All Kenyan, All the time” provoked an immediate change to the program format of the two leading television channels that have since introduced hourly news bulletins throughout the day.
