Aberdeen-based mobile learning firm Skills@Work is developing a new product line in healthcare with the support of a north-east business “accelerator” programme.
The product, healthmobile, is intended to be used by health workers for the identification and tracking of illnesses in the community.
Though the product is at an early stage of development, Skills@Work has already reached an agreement with the Rwandan government to pilot it in the African country later this year.
Skills@Work director Alan White, 67, said he hoped to gain the funding needed to set the pilot in motion through his work with Elevator, the business support organisation running the programme.
He said one of the main benefits of the Elevator programme, which he joined four weeks ago, was the constant challenging of his company’s business model.
“We were just sailing along assuming things, and actually there are interesting other ways of working and we’re changing our approach,” said Mr White.
