Participation to The D2Rwanda Study project

In Spring 2017, WiredIn worked on mobile app development for the D2Rwanda Study (which stands for Digital Diabetes Study in Rwanda) project developed and conducted by Aarhus University (AU) and the University of Luxembourg (UL) under the auspices of the University of Rwanda and Rwanda Biomedical Centre. The project aims to determine the efficiency of HBCPs programme and mobile health application in responding to solve the problem of mismatch of doctors and nurses to diabetes patients in Rwanda (Ref: LINK).

WiredIn was involved in the development of the mobile app call Nyitaho and development of a web-based system that enables nurses and HBCPs (Home-Based Care Practitioner) to study, to arrange appointments, to insert clinical and laboratory results and also update current medications.

We received positive comments on our work as follow:

“A local software company was contracted for the development of the project (WiredIn Ltd), aiming at taking advantage of their knowledge of the Rwandan context, its challenges, and opportunities. Right from the beginning, the team of the company has demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and know-how and has managed to provide essential input and guidance. Based on the agile methodology, the development work was divided into small pieces; for each iteration, there were phases of planning, design, coding ad n testing. Bi-weekly meetings took place with the two PhD students, aiming at demonstrating the working product of the iterations, and provide feedback. Following this workflow, the development team was able to adapt to changes and requests rapidly.”

‘Ohereza’, one of 5 teams to make it to the pitching event round of ‘Innovating Mobility Ideathon’ by Toyota Mobility Foundation and Impact Hub Kigali

‘Innovating Mobility Ideathon’ organized by Toyota Mobility Foundation and Impact Hub Kigali took place from Aug. 29th to Sept. 3rd, 2018, in Kigali. The event called for novel and innovative ideas and solutions to enable efficient transportation of goods and people. This event joined 15 teams that competed for 5 available spots in the final pitching event. The ultimate winner is to win $10,000 as first prize.

Team Ohereza from WiredIn Ltd. participated in this event to present an idea with the name of Ohereza. Ohereza is a courier delivery platform. It is an online marketplace connection using web-based technology that will connect transporters, businesses, and courier senders. Ohereza’s software permits courier senders to post the goods to be delivered. Once such posts are made, Ohereza software notifies registered transporters that a delivery opportunity is available and the Ohereza software facilitates completion of the delivery.

Ohereza was developed by a WiredIn Ltd.’s employee while they were on an internship program in Japan under ABE Initiative Scholarship at Rexvirt Communication Ltd., WiredIn Ltd.’s group company in Japan.

Ohereza guaranteed its one spot out of the available 5 in the final pitch which took place on Oct. 16th,, 2018. The final results are still yet to be announced but until then our Ohereza team remains hopeful to take home the first prize.

Please kindly wish good luck to our team, Team Ohereza!
