Research & Innovation

The newly formed Innovation and Strategic partnership group within Jembi aims to partner with research, academic and industry to nurture relationships to drive digital health and innovation. The strategy is to align development, reduce redundancy and enable partnerships to flourish within public health information systems. As mHealth is growing rapidly worldwide, South Africa is on the forefront of developing technologies that will have massive impact and benefit to public health recipients, and by bringing partners together with specific aims, Jembi believes that this will assist in accelerating these developments.
