DataDyne wins Wall Street Journal Innovation Award!
DataDyne and its EpiSurveyor project were picked from more than 500
entries to win the WSJ Technology Innovation Award in the Category of
Healthcare IT. Special kudos to the development team, including Tia Gao, Ahmed Maawy, George Njuguna, Solomon Kariri, Geoffrey
Mimano, Denis Ivaykin, and Wilson Bandi, and to all the help in testing
from the Kenyan Ministry of Health, coordinated by Yusuf Ibrahim -- and
thanks to our funders, the United Nations Foundation and the Vodafone
Foundation, without which none of this would have been possible.
