A Phoenix-based med tech startup is working to provide healthcare access for low resource communities, starting with a pilot community in Tanzania. TeleScrypts is piloting with 5,000 of the last hunter gatherers called the Hadza population in Tanzania. This is the first mobile health platform they have used according to founder Omron Blauo. “At teleScrypts our team values healthcare to everyone and we strive to provide access to healthcare to the communities that need it most,” Blauo said. “We provide mobile health technology to low resource communities.” TeleScrypts gets patient’s vitals through their tracking device, inputs the information onto the mobile application, and stores patient information on the platform to access at anytime, anywhere. The company was recently selected as a finalist for the UNICEF/Frog/ARM Wearables for Good competition. “Through this competition we were able to further our technology and pilot in Tanzania,” Blauo said. “The experience humbled our team, pushing us to our limits to develop our product to the standards of Frog, ARM, UNICEF, and other international Innovators. This means we have had the opportunity to apply innovative approaches that global visionaries are working on and test them in our business model.” Photo provided by teleScrypts The startup also demoed at Web Summit, one of the world’s largest technology conferences with over 2,000 of the world’s top startups. TeleScrypts was named one of the top 21 most interesting ventures by TechCrunch.
