Moca’s mission is to revolutionize healthcare delivery in remote areas through innovative mobile information services that improve patient access to medical specialists for faster, higher quality, and more cost-effective diagnosis and intervention. Moca is an open-source end-to-end mobile health solution designed for resource-poor settings. The main interface is an intuitive form-based system that the user can tailor to any specific project. The phone allows rapid uploading of medical data to a central server which automatically alerts experts to examine the medical information and compare it to a patient's history. The diagnosis is then sent instantly back to the cell phone for same-day treatment or referral. As we build massive annotated databases of medical information, it will train our phone-based software, to provide automated diagnoses.

Interactive Alerts for Childhood Pneumonia is an innovative system using mobile phones to track childhood pneumonia in Pakistan. Six-week-old infants are given an RFID (radio frequency ID) tag in the form of a traditional bracelet. When a child becomes ill, the RFID-tagged bracelet is scanned by a participating health practitioner using a mobile phone to retrieve pertinent immunization, clinical, and health information, important in low-resource settings where medical records and referral systems don’t exist. Health workers are then able to effectively track and treat pneumonia, the leading cause of childhood death in a country with high under-five mortality rates.

During the Fall of 2008, a NextLab team collaborated with United Villages to design and develop the initial prototype that helped the company transform its business model to take advantage of the rapid expansion of cell-phone networks to set up a for-profit wholesale service that is now called E-Shop. After initial tests on-site during January 2009, United Villages ç evolved the initial NextLab prototype into an innovative system that enables shop owners with phones that run Java applications to browse an online catalogue and place orders; data is transferred between the phones and United Villages in real time, using low cost SMS communication.
