Launched the MPedigree application in 2007. A mobile solution that authenticates medications and brings together the main African mobile phone operators, pharmaceutical industries, and government health authorities. Users send a free SMS with the code written on the medication they want to purchase so that MPedigree's servers can verify it with the pharmaceutical industries. Winner of the 4th Net Explorateur forum in 2011, the application is expanding to other countries such as Niger, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda.
