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


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.


We believe this device has significant potential to benefit the 4 
billion+ people globally without Internet access and are working to 
develop further versions with other languages and types of content.

Launch of Internet-in-a-Box

Bringing healthcare information to those who have no Internet



Looking Forward


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.
