India: temperature abuse warning via SMS for vaccines
The device is meant to SMS authorities on faulty vaccine carriers.
A refrigerated vaccine box which sends warnings via text messages when the temperature rises was designed by the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI).
The device is currently undergoing a field test and is meant to SMS authorities on the faulty vaccine carriers and possible damage to vaccines.
For vaccines, lack of temperature compliance can prove extremely dangerous and this system could make temperature monitoring more efficient and allow for rapid action to be taken.
Its designers claim they wish to ensure that the systems remain affordable, even at grassroots level.
