THINKMD

Getting up-to-date clinical technology into medical professional’s hands – wherever, whenever.

Increasing capacity of health workers in areas with limited resources

THINKMD’s mission is to make scientifically validated clinical intelligence technology universally accessible, so that anyone, anywhere can make better health decisions.

The technology guides anyone at ‘point-of-care’ (community health workers, pharmacists, nurses) through a complete assessment of a child’s health, using THINKMD’s technology on a tablet or smartphone. The point-of-care clinical assessment, triage, treatment, and recommendation platform aims to ‘think’ like a doctor. It incorporates World Health Organisation (WHO) protocols and guidelines as well as additional evidenced-based medicine using pattern recognition logic to generate an integrated clinical risk assessment.

THINKMD allows people and healthcare delivery organisations to make accurate clinical decisions, improve health outcomes, decrease morbidity and ultimately save lives. It also enhances healthcare seeking behaviour, reduces cost, and enables data-driven population-based health solutions.

Why did we invest?

  • To help scale access to technology that supports accurate diagnosis of health conditions, particularly in low resource settings.
  • As one of THINKMD’s first partners, we have unique insight into the way the technology is used. Save the Children is proud to be working with THINKMD on programs in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Kenya.
