More on MedKenya – The Winner of 2011 Pivot25 Competition

By

MedKenya was developed by Shimba Technologies Limited. It won the overall Pivot25 competition and also won a category on health.

MEDKenya by Shimba Technologies LTD is a platform that provides symptom checkers, first-aid information, doctor & hospital directories. The product aims to make healthcare information affordable and accessible to Kenyans.

This technology evolved out of Tuvitu. Tuvitu is a mobile platform that contains content-rich mini-applications (widgets) which enable users to personalise the information they browse via their mobile phone. Tuvitu is Swahili for ‘small things’.

The team comprises a group of partners and visionary individuals who have been in the mobile space for over 6 years. This team is charged with ensuring that Tuvitu scales as a platform and puts Africa on the map. These partners are the Shimba Technologies, a Payment Platform, OEMs (Nokia), MNOs & the various content providers who have chosen to take this journey with us.

It is through this ecosystem that MedKenya was born. The team will be going to U.S. to demo the technology for possible funding. This is how progress is made. Their idea is fresh and the design was sleek.

IBM Marks 100 years – Employees Volunteer To Feed The Hungry

Hundreds of IBM employees at their Research Triangle Park campus in the US, are volunteering their time last week to pack meals destined to feed the hungry in Haiti.

 

“We’re setting up assembly-line-type operations on-site to do this,” said Bob Greenberg, IBM’s top executive in North Carolina. “The goal is 100,000 meals.”

 

The 100,000 figure is no arbitrary number. It was picked to commemorate IBM’s 100th anniversary as a company which comes up this Thursday.

 

One hundred years later, IBM has more than 425,000 workers worldwide and last year’s revenue came in just under $100 billion – $99.9 billion. Among the company’s lengthy list of inventions and discoveries is the bar code, which was born in the Triangle.

 

The volunteer work for Stop Hunger Now, an international hunger relief organization based in the Triangle, is part of a worldwide “Celebration of Service” day for employees of the company once known as International Business Machines.

 

“It’s about the heritage of the company,” Greenberg said. “IBM has always looked at itself as playing a leadership role in doing things that make a difference for people around the world.”

 

Today IBM has about 10,000 workers in RTP; IBM doesn’t disclose how many employees it has locally or statewide. In recent years it has cut jobs in the Triangle and across the world, but without specifying the depth of those cuts and usually without even acknowledging that cuts were implemented.

Robotic Vision Simplified – Microsoft Releases SDK for Kinetics and Motion Sensors

Remember the Microsoft Kinetic 3D sensor for the xbox, which offered a gaming experience where the user uses his entire body as a game control just make making body gestures like swinging the arm or legs? The technology was based on an hardware originally designed by PrimeSense, an Isreali company.

The device uses infrared sensors in combination with cameras to give a 3D output of images in its vicinity, by providing RGB data from the camera and distance information from the infrared sensors. All this power was being “wasted” just on a gaming tool, but no more.

Microsoft has released an SDK for the kinetic, which will make it possible for robotics enthusiasts and indeed anyone to design advanced motion sensor systems based on the kinetic. The SDK offers tools to interact directly with the Kinetic, providing access to raw sensor data streams in real time, skeletal tracking of images (which can be used to track specific human gestures like hand or leg movements) and advanced3D sound.

The SDK presently support programming in C#, C++ and VB, while the hardware itself goes for about $150, a reasonable price for a tool that offers such limitless possibilities for robotics and audio visual intelligent systems.
