Why We Do This

MIT-based Sana (formerly Moca) Recognized at the Global Philanthropy Forum (GPF)

PRESS RELEASE, Cambridge, MA, April 27, 2010

The Vodafone Americas Foundation and the mHealth Alliance (a coalition of the United Nations Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and Vodafone Americas Foundation) announced that Sana had won the mHealth Alliance Award (valued at $50,000) and finished third in the Wireless Innovation Prize ($100,000) at the Global Philanthropy Forum on April 19, 2010. These awards recognize Sana’s new applications for wireless technology and its potential to address health challenges in low-resource settings. “Innovations like Sana demonstrate the power of mobile health, or mHealth, to close the health information divide. We selected Sana for the mHealth Alliance Award because of its proven potential to connect remote health workers with medical professionals, supporting the delivery of quality care to the furthest reaches of wireless communications.” said David Aylward, executive director of the mHealth Alliance.

The group’s name was changed from Moca to Sana, which means “healthy” in Spanish and Italian and “hope” or “wish” in the Philippines. A spinoff from the MIT NextLab program, Sana is a multidisciplinary group of MIT and Harvard students with a mission to revolutionize healthcare delivery in rural and undeserved areas, nationally and internationally.
