Description
KEA Medicals’ Hospital Information System aims to provide all patients with a medical identity (including historical medical records) through a QR code-equipped tag (bracelet). The platform aims to interconnect African hospitals through a single database to manage patients’ medical information and to increase access to healthcare and health microinsurance.
