Koe Koe Tech is the first mobile health app in Myanmar that sends messages to users\u2019 phones with information on 32 health categories, including maternal and child health. It also includes a doctor locator with over 1,500 certified doctors. The app allows you to set up appointments with doctors, community health workers, and midwives as well as order higher quality medicines delivered to your door by NGO affiliated sales agents. The major telecommunication networks launched in Myanmar just last September, but we already have over 7,000 users. We have 15 employees\u201414 from Myanmar, with half of our staff being women and one-third Muslim\u2014and we offer onsite training in computer science. Our goal is to scale beyond Myanmar, improving access to quality health care across the developing world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH THIS TED STYLE TALK on how Koe Koe Tech is Myanmar&#8217;s first mobile health app that provides easy, low-cost software for Myanmar people to improve their quality of health care. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":22628,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1547,1492,1538,2009,431,1529],"tags":[2176,2162,2161,2160,2159,288,2163],"class_list":["post-22626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-emerging-markets","category-health-tags","category-institute","category-2015_institute","category-talks","category-technology","tag-app","tag-health-app","tag-health-care","tag-koe-koe-tech","tag-michael-lwin","tag-mobile","tag-myanmar","post_format-post-format-video"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
