IntelliSOFT Consulting Limited is implementing OpenMRS to support two NCD programs in Kenya. One program is specifically focused on service delivery for hypertension and diabetes for low income incomers. By the end of this year, the system will be running at 45 public health facilities in Nairobi County. The other is a wellness program where the main intervention is mainly around evidence based comprehensive weight control and management.
This is a call to collaborate with anyone either using or intending to use OpenMRS to support healthcare services in the NCD world. If interested, please let me know and we will share more information about our work, these projects, etc.
@wanyee, at PIH we are supporting NCD care in several of our implementations and are actively working to expand these capabilities, enhance their use at the point of care, and expand the implementation to additional countries and facilities. We would be very interested in sharing our work and learning more about your plans and opportunities for collaboration.
@mseaton, thank you for responding and interest to explore collaboration. I have copied my colleagues @ningosi and @christine to share information about the two NCD implementations we are working on including the demo servers.
The Diabetic and Hypertension project require to use an innovative technology to build the capacity of healthcare workers to adhere to clinical guidelines in the management of hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus (DM).

IntellISOFT is planning for an extended and deep dive into digital health (wit specific reference to OpenMRS) and NCDs on Wednesday 5th Dec 2018 during the HELINA and OpenMRS meetings in Nairobi. We moved ahead to secure a large meeting room exclusive for this topic. We have invited not just digital health people but healthcare service providers, policy makers, etc. We would like to extend this invitation and ask that you send us your specific interest so that we can ensure those are accommodated in the planning process. In other words, what do you want to get out of that meeting? Is there anything you want to share and this need time to present?
We are looking forward to sharing the experiences on Digital health in enhancing Health Service Delivery for NCD! Don’t miss our session, we would love your input.Nairobi County NCD EMS Flyer.pdf (1.9 MB)
Thank you @sgathu, this looks very interesting. I was hoping to check out the demo, but it appears to require a security stamp beyond the demo credentials provided. Is this available by any chance?
@mseaton es, the system requires a security stamp which is the math equation you need to solve immediately after you enter the password. I’ve put a screenshot, hope it helps
