For communities around the globe, our SPICE platform opens doors to healthcare innovations that were once beyond reach. It envisions a future where healthcare access is a universal reality, from urban centers to rural communities. SPICE isn’t just about technology; it’s about leveling the healthcare playing field, making early detection and management of diseases like diabetes a reality for everyone.
SPICE represents our pledge to bridge the healthcare gap, underscored by the United Nations’ mission to combat healthcare disparities.
Designed to elevate health outcomes—SPICE ensures accessibility, scalability, and adaptability for every community. Our strategic partnerships extend this power, merging digital technology with health system enhancements and global collaborations to fast-track healthcare access in remote communities. These alliances with governments, innovators, and donors are pivotal for sustainable health system transformation, embodying the collaborative ethos of the Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA).
Paving the Way for Equitable Global Health Solutions
Recently recognized as a DPGA Digital Public Good, SPICE is at the front lines of equitable health solutions. As the United Nations points out, technological advancements can accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also risk widening existing inequalities. SPICE’s open-source model is a critical step toward ensuring that everyone, especially in areas where healthcare resources have been historically limited, benefits from digital health innovations.
Democratization of health technology is inherent in SPICE’s design. It actively bridges the healthcare gap by providing a framework that is not only accessible but also adaptable to various health systems worldwide. This approach ensures that health solutions can be localized to meet the needs of diverse populations, effectively countering the threat of a widening digital divide.
The Role of SPICE in an Era of Health Equity
In the quest to bridge digital divides — exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — the SPICE platform, as a Digital Public Good (DPG), is pivotal. It opens avenues for healthcare access to the significant global population that the United Nations reports as digitally disconnected. The open-source framework of SPICE enables communities to access and utilize advanced healthcare technology, enhancing their own healthcare systems, initiating a potential transformation of millions of lives.
SPICE is not just technology; it’s a holistic approach to healthcare delivery. Keep scrolling to find out what that means:
Open-source Technology
SPICE is the first open-source digital platform designed to support a new era of data-driven community healthcare delivery.We go beyond the commonly used data collection tools to ensure that all community-based activities are bi-directionally linked to the health system.
With SPICE, service delivery is driven by data for smarter resource allocation and better health outcomes.
Point-of-care Toolkits
We work with health systems to ensure the latest technologies are available to enable clinical management directly in the community.Our flexibility sets us apart. We are device agnostic and integrate with any point-of-care technology that supports better screening, diagnosis, and longitudinal management.
Health Systems Strengthening
Technology alone is not enough to move to the needle on population health outcomes.We provide targeted capacity building at every level of the health system to transform the way care is delivered.
Patient Experience
Delivering patient outcomes is our north star.We design our technology and care models for the communities we serve to address local barriers across the care continuum.
