Voxiva in the News

October 24, 2008 the New York Times cited Voxiva in an article about improving US health care with the use of technology.

In July, 2008 Voxiva was honored as one of five finalists for The Legatum FORTUNE Technology Prize based upon their use of technology and its development impact, sustainability and scalability of the solution and evidence that the technology solution is conducive to maintaining and sustaining a business environment that recognizes employees, rewards owners, and is environmentally sensitive and forward-looking.

In February, 2009 Paul Meyer presented at what was formerly known as the TEPR Conference(next year’s event will be re-named the M-Health conference) and shared lessons that Voxiva has learned from deploying mHealth solutions in the developing world, and how they could help meet the challenges of implementing mHealth solutions in the US marketplace.

On February 17, 2009 Voxiva joined the mHealth Alliance which “will guide governments, NGOs, and mobile firms on how they can save lives in the developing world”. This alliance is aimed at uniting existing projects in mHealth to improve healthcare using mobile technology.

Voxiva had seven mHealth projects featured in the UN Foundation report on mHealth for development which lauds mobile health as having a "significant and lasting positive impact on health".

In 2009 The Economist highlighted two Voxiva projects in Mexico and Rwanda in their special report on health and technology.

In May, 2009, The New Times (Rwanda) mentioned Voxiva as a partner in the ‘Phones for Health’ campaign aimed at using mobile phones to support public health, starting with support for community health workers in mother and child health interventions.

In June, 2009 BBC’s World Service technology program discussed an initiative started by the US Navy along with Voxiva called Alerta DISAMAR, which allow doctors in the navy to report disease outbreaks and ask for help with treatment.
