Projects
Featured Project – HIVSmart!
Empowering Patients
My team and I created an open-source smartphone application and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) self-testing aid that can save time and increase screening, counselling, and treatment rates.
There is so much energy in giving knowledge and sharing knowledge. Knowledge only grows by sharing. That is the beauty of Open Access. It will grow, it has grown, and there is great momentum.
