Kennedy challenged the country to send a man to the moon by the end of that decade. The challenge, called a moonshot, refers to a big, audacious goal that seems impossible until it is done.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2022, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sdgsmoonshots.org\/\">SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) Moonshot Accelerator<\/a> was held in Mexico City. Over 70 organizations from more than 25 countries came together to explore new ways of achieving the United Nations\u2019 SDGs by 2030. They were asked, \u201cIf you had $500 million, how would you spend it?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The program then compiled 14 \u2018moonshots\u2019 \u2014 big ideas on how to meet the SDGs within the decade \u2014 and interviewed the innovators who imagined them. We\u2019re proud to learn that one of them is 500-backed digital healthcare company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swiperxapp.com\/\">SwipeRx<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3XXTEmd\">Here\u2019s the team\u2019s proposal in a nutshell<\/a>: \u201cOn average, patients in Southeast Asia visit pharmacies ten times more frequently than they visit a health facility. Our big idea is to leverage technology to improve primary care through pharmacies.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why pharmacies? Across emerging markets in Southeast Asia, pharmacists are often the first point of contact for primary health care. Despite the important role pharmacists play as community health providers, national public health programs and global health partners in developing markets struggle to engage private pharmacies at scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By empowering pharmacists through comprehensive digital capacity building and continuing professional education programs, SwipeRx hopes to strengthen community health care for millions, and ultimately, close the gap towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The team is doing this by utilizing their existing digital community and networks together with linkages to telemedicine providers and national insurance and data systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SwipeRx is tracking progress against the following specific objectives:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increase early detection and diagnosis with a particular focus on women\u2019s health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase community provision of pre-pregnancy, antenatal and contraceptive and other primary care service provision through pharmacies linked to telemedicine providers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate cost-efficient results using a new pharmacy business model with the potential to facilitate scaled, sustainable pharmacy contributions to primary care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full interview <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3XXTEmd\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stories you may have missed:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup667\">Seventh Sense<\/a> to set up deeptech R&amp;D hub in Australia to fast-track innovation in artificial intelligence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/dailymarkup668\">Prenetics<\/a>-owned firm becomes first Asia-based company to receive FDA clearance for comprehensive genomic profiling test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3wsAVUa\">Haulio<\/a> and the National University of Singapore partner to develop the Smart Haulage Scheduler (SHS), aimed to be a first-of-its-kind dynamic haulage scheduling solution designed to tackle a range of inefficiencies in the haulage industry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3wtXo31\">AiSensum<\/a> won a Bronze Award in the category of Excellence in Personalisation Marketing at the 2022 Marketing Excellence Awards Indonesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Co-founders of <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3XFnyvO\">BloomThis<\/a>, Giden Lim and Penny Choo, took home the Blitzscaling trophy from the Endeavor Malaysia Awards of 2022.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3JhK0H4\">MYCL<\/a>\u2019s composite project won the Biomaterials Prize at the crQlr Awards, a global award for projects and ideas that contribute to the circular economy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find out if your Malaysian property is exposed to flood events in <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3XFnL24\">Urbanmetry<\/a>\u2019s sustainability report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A giant leap for mankind Stories you may have missed:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3868,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[524],"class_list":["post-3867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-swiperx"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
