Our Company
Binary Bridge is a Public Benefit Company with the specific mission to improve access to healthcare and increase the quality of care in underserved locations.
We do this by providing software solutions for mobile clinics in remote, low-resource areas. BackpackEMR targets medical teams working in rural areas, and is fully supported by Binary Bridge. We know that medical teams are not experts in technology, and hiring an IT person or staff is very expensive. We want teams to spend their time and resources on the people they are serving, so we will fully support our solutions for teams in the field.
NEW IDEAS!
We want to help! And we want to try a different model for putting technology into the hands of international health workers and local clinicians.
WHY?
We believe that most business processes can be improved with automation, and that improvements for the healthcare sector in low-resource areas have been neglected over the last several years. These groups need help from the global tech community, and we are stepping in.
HOW?
We love non-profits! While working through our business model, we realized pretty quickly that high-end software and the typical non-profit model would be hard to meld. Keeping software up-to-date and current, along with just general maintenance (not to mention enhancements and new features!), requires funding – and lots of it. Have you ever written a grant application that goes something like… “this money will pay for general maintenance for our system for a year…”? Or would you donate $ to an organization that promises to use your funds to pay for updates needed to keep up the system compatible with the new iOS release? Neither would we.
So, we are charging minimal fees to keep top-of-the-line software running. We’ll spend the funds on new features, enhancements AND ongoing maintenance costs (that are much less exciting, but TRUST US, they are needed).
