OXYGEN CHALLENGE; NIGERIA
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Service and repair of oxygen concentrators.
Learn more about the Oxygen Challenge and why repairing and maintaining oxygen concentrators in low-resource hospitals expands access to medical oxygen - a key treatment for pneumonia, malaria, sepsis, meningitis, and Covid-19.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
HealthPort improves access to medical oxygen through digitized clinician support and oxygen equipment asset management.
HealthPort is a health tech venture improving access to quality medical care by using digitized solutions to efficiently manage care delivery and resource availability in low-resource settings. Using low-cost solutions, we intend to improve oxygen access and hypoxemia outcomes by strengthening capacity among local biomedical technicians, improving clinician ability to assess oxygen needs using simple quality improvement interventions, and medical asset management for rural healthcare facilities in Nigeria.
The HealthPort solution focuses on improving care delivery skill sets and establishes a foundation for digital medical device assets management. Maintaining oxygen concentrators under our distribution model will improve access to medical oxygen and increase prioritization of low flow oxygen needs.
PILOT AND SCALING GOALS
Train 10 biomedical technicians to service 50 Oxygen concentrators, reaching 1,000 patients during the pilot phase.
Improve clinician ability to assess oxygen need by 80% and decrease hypoxemia related mortality in regions where we work by 20-40%.
