This *HealthPhone Internet-in-a-Box* is a technology and content based
project where an area without Internet access can set up a low cost wifi
hotspot and support multiple users with access to health information.
HealthPhone is excited to partner with Wiki Project Med Foundation and
launch an offline distribution system for medical content in
collaboration with Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB).
Within a range of a few hundred meters, up to 32 people can connect to
the device with a computer or mobile phone and access or download its
content. /IIAB does not offer a connection to the Internet or to content
beyond that in the Box itself./
This initial version of “Internet-in-a-Box” contains all of Wikipedia’s
healthcare content in English, Spanish and Arabic, WikEM, content from
Practical Action in English and Spanish, and HealthPhone maternal and
child health videos. It also functions as a mini app store allowing
Wikipedia, HealthPhone and other medical apps to be downloaded and
installed offline

Launch of Internet-in-a-Box
Bringing healthcare information to those who have no Internet
Internet-in-a-Box
HealthPhone is excited to partner with Wiki Project Med Foundation and
launch an offline distribution system for medical content in
collaboration with Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB).
IIAB is a mini-computer with mobile hotspot that generates a Wi-Fi
signal and enables content distribution in places where access to the
Internet is limited, controlled or simply unavailable. Within a range of
a few hundred meters, up to 32 people can connect to the device with a
computer or mobile phone and access or download its content. IIAB does
not offer a connection to the Internet or to content beyond that in the
Box itself.
This initial version of “Internet-in-a-Box” contains all of Wikipedia’s
healthcare content in English, Spanish and Arabic, WikEM, content from
Practical Action in English and Spanish, and HealthPhone maternal and
child health videos. It also functions as a mini app store allowing
Wikipedia, HealthPhone and other medical apps to be downloaded and
installed offline.
Content menuPutting health information in the hands of those who need it
most.
The device is being sold for the cost of the hardware (USD40/CAD50)
which includes taxes and shipping. The underlying hardware is made by
the Raspberry Pi Foundation and all software and content on the device
is under an open licence. Wiki Project Med Foundation welcome donations
to support further development.

HealthPhone is working towards a time when every mother and mother-to-be
on the planet has a personal library of health and nutrition videos that
will provide her with the knowledge she needs to take care of herself
and her family.
