500 Butterfly iQ+ Devices Managed and Secured by Jamf Are Distributed to Healthcare Workers in Kenya to Support Maternal and Fetal Health
02 März 2023 - 3:30PM
Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing
Apple announced its stance in Butterfly Network Inc.’s deployment
of 1,000 Butterfly iQ+ whole-body ultrasound systems and hands-on
training in Sub-Saharan Africa, which completed the first phase of
rollout in Kenya in December 2022. Since launching the program in
September 2022, 500 of the probes have been deployed, tens of
thousands of scans have been completed, and over 90% of
post-training survey respondents report identifying a high-risk
condition using the Butterfly iQ+.
The first-of-its-kind program in Kenya was launched in September
and represents an important step toward improving worldwide access
to essential medical imaging. 500 Butterfly iQ+ devices, the
world’s only handheld, whole-body ultrasound probe to advance
maternal and fetal health, and ultrasound training were given to
local mid-level healthcare practitioners. This initiative was part
of a larger effort to provide 1,000 healthcare workers in
Sub-Saharan Africa with point-of-care ultrasound knowledge and
technology.
Initiative Launched in September is Making an Impact on
Maternal Health Already Designed as an exemplary
global health delivery intervention, the program meaningfully
measured the impact that mid-level practitioners can have on
maternal-fetal care when provided with the right digital health
tools, paired with scalable in-person training.
Ten cohorts, comprising 514 practitioners in total, have
completed training and now have the skills and equipment to bring
free point-of-care ultrasound assessment back to 224 public health
facilities across eight Kenyan counties, as well as two urban
facilities and three training institutions in Nairobi. These
facilities, predominantly in rural settings and without access to
broadband, are the safety net for hundreds of thousands of patients
in the community, the majority of whom never before received
ultrasound during their pregnancy. Initial data signify an
impressive adoption rate, as demonstrated by tens of thousands of
scans completed since the program launch, and a one-month
post-training survey finding that a majority of respondents have
identified a high-risk condition using the Butterfly iQ+.
Dr. Sachita Shah, Butterfly Network’s Sr. Director of Global
Health added, “Witnessing such interest and fast adoption of our
advanced, digital device in these clinics where such technology has
never before been available has been inspirational. The full
potential of our pocket-based ultrasound system, Butterfly iQ+, is
realized when it’s combined with the expertise of our
collaborators, like Jamf, who ensure we’re bringing this novel
health technology to new geographies in a seamless, secure and
compliant way.” The power of Jamf and Butterfly
iQ+The Butterfly iQ+ with Jamf allows the secure
deployment of mobile devices with clinical resources beyond the
walls of a medical facility for remote patient care with immediate
support. Butterfly iQ+ integrates directly with Jamf for additional
security and advanced configuration, allowing IT to manage device
restrictions, shared-device rapid login, session timeout feature,
and an express scan mode.
With Jamf, IT teams can also determine when and how to update
the application so as not to impact clinicians and patient
workflow. For medical devices like the Butterfly iQ+ device, it's
imperative to keep the product up to date to ensure the latest,
uninterrupted clinical functionality, with updates applied as soon
as available. These features offer the ability to determine who has
access to the application, schedule or push out updates at a set
time to avoid impacting devices in use, and remotely push content
to the device remotely."We are thrilled to be a part of Butterfly's
mission to transform care through easy-to-use, portable and
versatile ultrasound technology to benefit patients worldwide.
Butterfly iQ+ devices powered by Jamf bring a simple user
experience to healthcare workers allowing them to focus on patient
care," said Dean Hager, CEO of Jamf. "Jamf's healthcare solutions
and workflows are designed to put people first and we are proud to
be a part of the incredible work Butterfly is accomplishing in
Africa."
