RxBox

[Jenny Bituin]

The RxBox is a device with built-in medical sensors for measurement of patient’s vital signs, an electronic medical record for storing data, and can transmit health information via internet. It is invented by Filipino researchers from University of the Philippines Manila and University of the Philippines Diliman, with support from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and Department of Health (DOH) to provide better access to life-saving health care services in isolated and disadvantaged communities in the Philippines.

Thank you for sharing. As RxBox is built from off the shelf commodities, it will save a lot of money as compared to buying similar equipment from medical device companies. As the technology is better over the time, it will become cheaper in coming years. As patient is receiving ICU level monitoring at home, customer satisfaction will be the highest and it will also improve the health outcomes of patients.

Hi Jenny! It’s a great presentation, and thank you for sharing the RxBox implementation in the Philippines. I can see how it improves health outcomes, particularly life-saving health care services, in disadvantaged communities in your country, both in terms of cost and customer satisfaction. It also enhances the decision-making process for clinicians and health teams by providing access to EMR and available data.

Thanks for sharing the interesting project. Your presentation is clear and concise, cover main context within provided time. For improvement, next time try to keep out of your script as much as possible when presenting.

Thank you, Ajarn. This is noted 🙂

Hi Jenny! Thank you for sharing this interesting project. I believe patients in remote or disadvantaged areas who often struggle with limited access to doctors, diagnostic tools, and timely interventions can receive essential health services closer to home, reducing the need for long and costly travel.

Hello Jenny,
Thank you for your great presentation about the RxBox.
I see how RxBox can save the lives in isolated and disadvantaged communities in your country and it is on the other hand cost effectiveness. It also reflects the usage in our country, Myanmar, with the under-served communities.

This is very insightful Jen. The RxBox would be so beneficial to the remote and disadvantage region with these functions and capabilities.
