Matt Berg: Better health-one cell phone at a time

摘要

Matt Berg looks very calm for a man who will have 100,000 children to look after. That might be because of his humble cell phone.rnBerg, 32, is leading the push to track disease In Africa with 160-character text messages, or SMS. As technology director for ChlldCount+, he helps oversee a network of community-hearth workers who regularly examine local children, treat their ills and then text back the status of every sick child they find. This allows for improved hearth monitoring, faster interventions and better immunization and treatment campaigns.
