Team Cypher256 has developed a mobile app aimed at improving health care for pregnant women in Africa. Aaron Tushabe is a member of the team.
The app is called WinSenga. It measures fetal heart sounds to help establish the heart rate, age and position of the fetus in the mother. That information is recorded and stored for future use. Aaron Tushabe says the device is similar in operation to an ultrasound test, but is far less costly.
And he says not having to depend on ultrasound equipment adds an even greater benefit.
Team Cypher256 received a Microsoft Imagine Cup Grant of $75,000 to help continue the project.
This is the third year for the Social Innovation Summit. The event is held two times a year, once in New York and once in California. The first one in 2012 was held in May. The United Nations Office for Partnerships helped to organize the event.来自乌干达的Cypher256团队也受邀出席了本届特别创新峰会。该团队开发了一款移动应用程序，旨在改善非洲孕妇的医保条件。Aaron Tushabe是团队中的一员。
这款应用程序叫WinSenga。它通过检测胎心音来帮助确定孕妇腹中胎儿的心率、胎龄以及胎位。这些信息都会被记录并储存起来供将来使用。Aaron Tushabe称，该仪器在操作上类似于超声测试仪，但成本却要低很多。
而且他说，不依靠超声设备还有一个更大的优点。
Cypher256团队获得了微软创新杯75000美元的奖金用于继续开发该项目。
这是第三年举办社会创新峰会。该峰会每年举办两次，一次在纽约，一次在加利福尼亚。2012年的首场峰会于五月举办。联合国伙伴关系办公室协助组织了该峰会。
