2. Emerging Markets Challenge
Application: mPedigree
Developer/Company: mPedigree
Application Description:
mPedigree allows anyone in a developing nation with a mobile phone to receive up-to-date drug pedigree information right at the point of purchase, enabling individuals to find out if a medication is genuine or not before using it. It works via text messaging, accessible by default on all Nokia phones. Similar to the popular scratch card method for replenishing cellular talk-time, individuals reveal a single-use code on the drugs, and send a free text message to a provisioned mobile shortcode identical on all cellular networks.
This model enables manufacturers to conduct product recalls with minimal risks, while providing the opportunity for large-scale automated intelligence gathering by law-enforcement agencies to administer quick arrests based on the frequency of fake drug SMS responses in a specific area.

3. Technology Showcase
Application: PhotoMap
Developer/Company: Johannes Schöning at the Institute for Geoinformatics at the University of Münster, Germany
Application Description:
One use of GPS-enabled phones is support for navigation and maps. There are many services that allow individuals to download a map of a given location to a GPS-enabled phone. But the information may not match the user’s current activity and needs. With PhotoMap, individuals can grab a map shown on a public display – such as one in a city center or at a train station – by taking a photograph of it, and using it as a digital map on the mobile phone (the application is optimised for use with the Nokia N95).

2. Emerging Markets:
Application: Nano Ganesh
Developer/Company: Santosh Ostwal
Description:
Frequent power cuts in India pose many challenges to farmers in rural regions. Often farmers find it difficult to get enough power to irrigate the land for seasonal crops. Santosh Ostwal developed Nano Ganesh, a water pump solution, which not only helps farmers to remotely start the pumpsets, but also helps to check if there is sufficient power supply. Ostwal developed a mobile modem, which controls the starter of the pumpset. The modem along with a mobile phone, which interfaces a 440 volt system, is attached to the starter panel of the pumpset.
Compared to similar solutions, Nano Ganesh uses the basic voice call feature to trigger the pumpset, which is more reliable than SMS. To make the phones easily accessible to the farmer community, Ostwal deployed basic phones like the Nokia 1100.
