Neotree: An innovative digital learning health system, developed in partnership with, and for, nurses and doctors, empowering them to deliver high-quality neonatal care. Neotree uses open-source technology to deliver a fully integrated, digital health intervention combining data collection, education, and clinical decision support at the bedside. To date Neotree has been used to improve the care of over 38,000 babies, by more than 1,200 healthcare professionals in five hospitals across Malawi and Zimbabwe. We can save over half a million babies’ lives, and improve the care of over 27 million babies, every year, if the Neotree is adopted by Ministries of Health across low-income countries.
The Role: We are looking for a strategic, passionate and experienced manager to lead the delivery of an exciting new Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) grant in Malawi (Sept 2024 – Dec 2027). The focus of the grant is to rollout Neotree to eleven new sites in Kasungu District and to evaluate the impact of implementing Neotree across this network of health facilities. This will involve working closely with the clinical staff across the implementation sites, the project team at the Global Health Informatics Institute (GHII is Neotree’s implementing partner in Malawi), the research team at University College London (UCL), UK and software developers in Malawi, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The Operations and Research Manager will be responsible for ensuring the project is delivered on time and to budget. They will directly oversee the research deliverables, project implementation, reporting requirements, risk management and day-to-day line management of the in-country team in relation to the grant.
