Engineering Better Healthcare
Thats why we partner with health
providers based in the communities we
serve. With our partners, we can create
solutions with the greatest possible impact.
Obz Design is a nonproft dedicated to
improving healthcare for people living in
poverty worldwide. With better healthcare,
families can thrive and prosper.
We started Obz Design because weve seen
how the right technology can change lives.
Specific. Scalable. Sustainable.
Who We Are Better DataBetter Healthcare
Obz Design is piloting a customized data
management system for AMOS. We use iPads
for quick and accurate data entry.
Rapid updates
Fewer errors
Easy analysis
Our partner in the project is AMOS Health and
Hope. They provide basic healthcare
administration in 27 villages and have been
working in Nicaragua for more than 35 years.
Only then
can medical
professionals
respond to
health crises.
We can reduce this response time
to days or hoursand save lives.
In some villages in Nicaragua, healthcare data
is kept by hand. One person in each village
records health information about families in
a notebook. Supervisors collect it every few
months.
At the same ti me, we understand that
gl obal sol uti ons have to be l ocal , too.
Data can take
6 months to
reach the
capital.
