SMS Monitoring Systems - Geochat from InSTEDD

Today I met with Romdoul Kim and Channe Suy from InSTEDD's innovation Lab in Phnom Penh. InSTEDD (Innovative Support for Emergencies Diseases Disasters) is a NGO that was brought into being by Larry Brilliant (TED Prize 2006 winner) who wanted to build an early-warning system for pandemics and other disasters. Google.org funded InSTEDD to build a rapid-reporting system to help health teams stay connected in emergencies (Just as an aside, Larry Brilliant left Google recently after three years to work with Skoll Urgent Threats Fund setup by Ebay founder, Jeff Skoll).
