On average, one child dies every 21 seconds from a vaccinepreventable disease, totaling more than 1.5 million children every year. In fact, 1 in 5 children does not have access to vaccine initiatives. WorldVax.org wants to reach the Fifth Child.
Introducing the WorldVax.org FCConnect system.
Caregivers need every available tool to make a difference in these young lives, and by combining mobile technology with intelligent vaccine guidance software, FCConnect will provide tools to maximize use of vaccines and reach into the most remote areas.
The WorldVax.org project aims to strategically equip builders of immunization information systems around the world with a reference implementation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's CDSi Logic Spec. The FCConnect system will use the reference implementation to provide recommendations and guide field medical personnel who might not be familiar with the epidemiology domain. WorldVax.org applications will bring expert guidance to those providing health care to remote and poorly served populations.
We are looking for people who want to help us build FCConnect for a better world.
