Business model innovation: charge insurances, free to doctors, bring convenience to parents, and meet where the child is at. Product innovation: Parents simply register their children online and will be sent reminders via push notifications and/or text messages when their child is due for a vaccination. The parent is then able to schedule a vaccine appointment that is convenient for them and their child. VAXI will then deliver the vaccine to their home, workplace, or other convenient location where a trained professional will administer the vaccination. Other features are currently in development are: general vaccination information, disease outbreak notifications, access to child’s record, options for alternative vaccination etc.What is the name of your organization
