Mycpd Tz Innovation

MycpdTz in collaboration with MycpdZw, anticipate improving the mobile application innovation for providing equal opportunity between female and male healthcare workers. This innovation provides WHO health guidelines professional development standards and ensure that all healthcare workers get their health service practice License at right time and maintain their employment. In current situation of COVID 19 crisis, face to face healthcare professional development is impossible, this innovation is the best solution since mobile application innovation services maintain social distance. It provides equal opportunity access to professional development and receiving their practice license for maintaining their employment for supporting their living and family, where they earn $ 2 to more than $ 5 per day. Also, the innovation reaches more needy healthcare workers at low cost. The innovation has no gender bias and reaches rural or remote community equally. It is the cheapest method with access in 24 hours.

Healthcare workers needs annual health practice license for remaining valid healthcare workers, unfortunately,  gender imbalance, remoteness, shortage of resources, and COVID 19 crisis are the huge hindrance for the healthcare workers to attend face to face workshop, seminars and other  training which can help them to get score for maintaining their profession and provide better services to patients. To solve this challenge, we use mobile application to reach the huge demand of our customers. Our innovation has started in Zimbabwe (MycpdZW) where we have 23, 206 active customers. I have registered MycpdTz for scaling in Tanzania where we will reach more customers.This diggital innovation reduces gender imbalance and bias for professional development access among and healthcare workers by provide equal access to our innovation which reach the demand of all needy healthcare workers. It is inclusive  regardless gender.    

The improved MycpdTz will help to collect data for implementation of other future projects which is initiated by other organizations for improving human lives. This solution will also, reduce the possibility of COVID 19 transmission from patients to healthcare on front line services for COVID 19 battle. It creates ID which will be easier for future project evaluation and standards for improvement.

Healthcare workers are the leading customers. The online practice license will give them access to employment which will transform the income from $ 1 to $ 25 per day, even more. This innovation will also provide indirect income by improving and maintaining healthcare knowledge, and skills which give them confidence to apply new jobs to higher paying health organizations like Pathfinder International, WHO, and other international health organizations which pay higher salaries for improving their living standard. This innovation is a social entrepreneurship which also improve the income of team member of innovation and those citizens who are shareholder in the company. MycpdTz will improve the income of team members and shareholders from $ 1 to 25 per day. The innovation will also pay tax 18% of the revenue. The tax will help to improve social services in the community

This innovative initiative increases inclusion of female nurses to get access to digital professional development, and online health practice license. Annual Health practice License certificate help informal healthcare workers to get employment in formal organizations and get formal payment according to government and other organization payroll circular. It gives they to be Identified and qualified experts. Also, the improved MycpdTz can make automatic Identification and data recording.

In current situation of COVID 19 crisis where face to face healthcare professional development is impossible, this innovation is the best solution since mobile application innovation services reduces crowd meeting. It provides services at pace, and with personal laptop or cellular phone. Regardless clients' gender/sex, this innovation provides equal opportunity access to professional development and receiving their practice license which lead them to get employment for supporting the living cost with their family. Annual health practice License will enable healthcare worker to get employment and earn money from $ 2 to more than $ 5 per day by using their professional practice License. Also, the innovation reaches more needy healthcare workers at low cost. The innovation has no gender bias and reaches rural or remote community. It is the cheapest method which solve pressing problems, especially in current challenge of COVID 19 pandemic crisis.

Every healthcare worker must renew her or his practice license annually, unfortunately, gender bias, and lack of resources, and COVID 19 are hindering healthcare workers to attend face-to-face seminars, training, and workshop so that to improve their skills to get health annual practice license. Since there is no professional development through face to face training/seminars or workshops; our mobile application innovation is the best solution to stop transmission of COVID 19 from patients to healthcare workers.  Since its inauguration of MycpdZw in Zimbabwe in May 2019 by the Ministry of Health, more than 23,206 healthcare workers are reached with this innovation (https://www.mycpdzw.org/). MycpdTz in Tanzania anticipate reaching more than 150,000 healthcare workers and give the access to forma employment and improve their income. Scaling id Tanzanian is the best decision because the market survey show that there are more needy customers than in Zimbabwe. "As COVID 19 still a threat worldwide, innovation of mobile application, mHealth, and other digital solution are the best solutions for reducing transmission of COVID 19, and creating employment" (WHO director)

Healthcare workers are the leading customers. The online practice license will give them access to formal employment which will transform the income from $ 1 to $ 25 per day. This innovation will also provide indirect income by improving and maintaining healthcare knowledge, and skills which give them confidence to apply new jobs to higher paying health organizations like Pathfinder International, WHO, and other international health organizations which pay higher salaries for improving their living standard. This innovation is a social entrepreneurship which also improve the income of team member of innovation and those citizens who are shareholder in the company. MycpdTz will improve the income of team members and shareholders from $ 1 to 25 per day. The innovation will also pay tax 18% of the revenue. The tax will help to improve social services in the community.

Innovation progress will be tracked by calculating number of customers reached, and professional Health Practice License provided per month. Data collected through mobile application will help to provide feedback monthly. The assumption is that is we will reach 150,000 customers annually, then by dividing by 12 (months), every month we will reach 12,500 customers. I will also, collect and count new potential ideas which are generated monthly to improves our services. I will ensure that the operational cost for innovation remain low, but reach many people comparing to past traditional method of face to face training. I will always audit innovation management team and improve their knowledge through virtual training to meet customer needs.

Community, especially healthcare workers in rural who have no access of modern IDs system may use their cheap connected smartphones for access to professional development which gives them opportunity to get online health practice license healthcare through digital services. The improved mobile application innovation can reach all needy customers without gender bias, also, reaches customers regardless the challenge of remoteness and poor road infrastructure in rural area. This innovation provides equal opportunity to female healthcare workers unlikely the traditional method of face to face professional development which have bias and give more chance to male healthcare workers. It Identify all clients, and automatically collect data for future project use. Also, after heaving identification on our innovation, our clients have full-service access for the whole year (365 days from the da of registration).

Customers use their mobile phones to register for getting IDs which gives them access to annual services. Any mobile operators like Vodacom, Tigo, Airtel, Zantel, TTCL can connect for our services. The service is user friendly to more than 80% who can read and write. This digital authentication unlock access to professional development for healthcare workers knowledge and skills improvement for acquiring annual practice license. It is friendly user since it provides a unique identification for each customer and connects with government health regulatory council for receiving their annual practice license. Protects privacy, no one have access of customer data and records unless the customer realizes to the public (individual consent). It increases inclusion, cheaper, easier to use, and reach all people regardless the challenge of poor road or remoteness.

This digital initiative uses cellular phones/mobile phone in both rural and urban. Also, can work in smartphone, and computer. Uses other health online guidelines from other organizations like WHO and Ministry of health from different countries. It relates to other regulators which administer health qualities in different organizations/ countries. This innovation uses personal cellular phone, tablet, and computer. The innovation work in any mobile operator like Vodacom, Halotel, Zantel, Tigo, or Airtel. Every customer can operate without any difficult. The software has easy option to reach the activities for every customer to enjoy the services we provide. Every customer has access to charting with other customers to share experience. It is connected to other services like World Health Organization Health and Country’s health Guidelines, for example Malaria, Tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS treatment guidelines.  The technology is also connected with health regulatory for for provision of online health practice license. The innovation is cheaper, accessible regardless sex, and location.

The innovation uses mobile operators’ connectivity, which is reachable in both, urban and rural. Currently, the connectivity is strong enough to support availability of content and activities digitally. Our customers use their mobile phone which they are familiar to use it. Also, clients from all mobile operators have access to our innovation. The innovation does not use complicated procedures or language to provide services. Also, use both IOS and Android mobile operation system which is not difficulty to use.

Current MycpdZw Serve 23,206 people in Zimbabwe, and, we have registered in Tanzania as McpdTz where we anticipate reaching more than 150,000 customers. In five years, we anticipate to scale in Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia, and South Sudan where we will reach more than 3,000,000 customers. The innovation will be improved to create more service identification where citizens will enjoy service right on the palm of their hand.The mobile application will be improved so that to provide more service in the same platform. I anticipate using the same innovation for substance abuse prevention, health campaign, and data collection. This innovation will catalyze the digital IDs solution for speedup community development and speedup up attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.

My goal in next year is to ensure that more healthcare worker use our innovation to get ID which allow them to get digital professional development and acquire online practice health license for maximizing their knowledge capacity. I also, anticipate to reach than 3 countries in five coming years (Kenya, DRC, and South Sudan). This innovation will also ensure that we increase other digital service on our platform which will include data collection and digital payment services. Also, this innovation will be used to create different IDs for community health campaign portal where more than 100 million citizens can register and get health information they want, including campaign for immunization in rural where there is low connectivity. I will ensure that I customize the Innovation and scale to other country so that to accommodate different needs of services.

The biggest barriers are:

Financial capital for improving and scaling/replication of innovation and technology to other countries. To solve this barrier, I see this opportunity of grant as a best solution to reach our scaling/replicating goal.

Another challenge is connectivity of mobile operators in some countries where we anticipate to scale.  To solve this challenge, I will join with local community to promote cheap internet for community development where citizens can use electronic IDs for receiving public services like health, education, and making payment for services. I will also promote the benefit of using IDs for reducing corruption which has been a big barrier for development in many countries. I will also, advocacy with government that services through electronic IDs reduce government expenditure cost effective way to reach many people at the same time.

Another barrier is competent experts to work in my innovation, to solve this I will partner startups, innovators, and mentors or other organizations, I will also collaborate with competitors for sharing common challenges and success so that to gain more knowledge and skills. I will also, attend innovation webinars and other events for updating innovation knowledge  and skills to ensure that citizens get IDs service and enjoy it beyond their expectations.

In order to solve the barriers discussed above, I will ensure that I participate into grants competitions so that to will grants which will help to improve the innovation and scale to more countries. I will also attend webinars, seminars and other training to update my skills and knowledge on innovation and digital services for promoting IDs services. I will also, advocacy on the importance of digital/innovation/ electronic IDs in in the development and making impacting in lives of citizens.

I will ensure that I recruit competent innovators to be in my organization so that they will come-up with modern innovation which promote community welling at cheapest cost. I will also collaborate with competitors for sharing knowledge, skills, and experience for improving the innovation and reaching more people. I will also request for joint venture capital to ensure that  this innovation reach more countries and make remarkable impact.

Our key customers are private and public healthcare workers; also, government, and no-government health departments will benefit with our services. Healthcare workers will get digital IDs for digital health professional development where they be awarded with annual health practice License. The innovation will use mobile application for all process. Online annual practice license is the best solution to reduce COVID 19 transmission.

All this process is automatically through customers ID.

Due to COVID 19 crisis, healthcare workers have no access to training for professional development to improve their knowledge, and acquisition of annual Health Practice License.

Any mobile operators’ company like Vodacom, Tigo, Airtel, Zantel, TTCL can connect for our services with customers. This digital authentication unlock access to professional development for healthcare workers' knowledge and skills improvement for acquiring annual health practice license. It is a unique identification for each customer and connects with government health regulatory council for assessment and receiving their annual practice license. Protects privacy, no one have access of customer data and records unless the customer provide herself and himself. $ 150,000 is the best investment capital for customize our mobile application so that to reach more customers and provide more services in the same platform. Every customer will access our services by registering at only $ 15 per year to cover all business operation cost and make it sustainable. Winning this prize will help to  improve our mobile application innovation so that to reach all needy clients.

This innovation anticipate to reach more than 150,000 in Tanzania (MycpdTz) where every customer will pay $ 15 for ID access to professional development, and online Health Practice License.
