Mobile Vision Project launched

Qualcomm and Xi'an Kingtone Information, in collaboration with China Children and Teenagers' Fund, have launched the Mobile Vision Project. The project utilizes a 3G-enabled mobile application developed by Xi'an Kingtone Information, smartphones powered by Qualcomm chipsets and 3G wireless connectivity to assist doctors in collecting and archiving information related to the screening and treatment of children with amblyopia in underserved communities in China.

Wireless Reach, Xi'an Kingtone Information and China Children and Teenagers' Fund collaborated to implement the Mobile Vision Project to address these challenges. The project, which is being implemented at Hengshui City Maternal and Child Care Service Centre (MCCSC) and other public health centres in Hebei Province, utilizes a custom mobile application that enables data collection and analysis, as well as helps with patient screening and diagnosis, to provide more accurate statistics and, therefore, better patient care. The new system also gives clinicians access to a searchable online ophthalmology database for a comprehensive collection of eye care information. Hengshui Women's Federation and China Children and Teenagers' Fund provided support for the project through their specialized institution focussing on children with amblyopia. The Mobile Vision project serves approximately 400,000 children and teenagers up to the age of 14.

"One of the focusses of the China Children and Teenagers' Fund is on children with amblyopia, especially those in the underserved areas. Wireless technology and applications enable the rapid spread of knowledge about amblyopia and other common eye diseases, which can improve local clinicians' capabilities of screening and treatment, and provide better, more timely care to children with this condition," said Xiaoxia Chen, General Secretary, China Children and Teenagers' Fund.

"We are honoured to work with Qualcomm on this project to show how wireless technologies can have significant positive impact on health care. Early results indicate that the 3G-enabled system assists in better collection and analysis of patients' health information, improves efficiency and timeliness in data exchange between health workers and improves data collection, screening and treatment,"said Tao Li, President, Xi'an Kingtone Information.
