bright box
Powering Connectivity and Care Anywhere
better technology, better world
In a remote village, where the only constant is the sun and the needs are great, a bright box hums to life, built to bridge gaps where resources are scarce.
As it powers up, the bright box creates its own secure WiFi network, using no Internet, cell service, or external Wi-Fi, becoming a central hub of communication and data exchange, connecting devices within its range and empowering real-time collaboration in even the most isolated locations.
Multiple users, from healthcare workers to community volunteers, can simultaneously access and update the same patient records, ensuring accurate and coordinated care.
Our Mission
At b Inc., we are driven to transform lives through technology and innovation. We design, develop, and deliver groundbreaking technical solutions that thrive in low-resource environments.
By equipping underserved communities with cutting-edge technology, training, and support, we bridge critical information gaps between patients, caregivers, and decision-makers, helping health systems to flourish and enabling individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Helping Low-Resource Areas Connect
The bright box is a robust, solar-powered, rugged server and power management system purpose-built for underserved, low-resource environments.
Effortlessly establishes secure local Wifi access network with no existing internet access, WiFi, or cell service, enabling seamless connectivity and collaboration.
Engineered for versatility, the bright box can leverage multiple power sources, from solar power to a car battery to 110/240 AC power, intelligently prioritizing and switching between them to ensure optimal efficiency.
It also features high-speed USB ports, allowing devices to charge quickly and reliably.
Its software operates as a web service, enabling multiple users to access and collaborate on shared patient records in real time.
bright box benefits
Instant Connectivity
bright box instantly creates a local Wifi access network, with a 50-meter diameter,
Connected devices can run software that’s pre-installed on the bright boxes as a web service.
Real Time Data Sharing
Access to real-time data, even in offline areas.
This allows the care team to access patient records wirelessly on multiple devices, in multiple locations at once.
Increased Security
Data collected on connected devices is automatically saved to the bright box, never on the device itself.
This reduces the risk of data loss due to device theft or damage.
Power Off the Grid
The bright box operates on 110/240 AC power, solar power, or a car battery, while efficiently prioritizing power in that order.
Devices can be charged through the bright box’s fast-charging USB ports.
Cost Savings
All connected devices can take advantage of the SIM card in the bright box, so that they don’t need their own.
This can result in significant cost savings for organizations.
Consolidated Software
Multiple types of software can be loaded onto bright box.
To date, the bright box can support VecnaCare’s EMR, DHIS2, OpenMRS, CommCare, and more.
We Support
Low-Resource, Underserved Regions
Non-profit Organizations
Healthcare Clinics & Centers

What People are Saying....
Reduce Costs by Streamlining
Consolidating all of our hardware into one bright box has helped us save on our hardware costs as well as removing the need to keep all the various components up to date – now we access our wifi, modem, and charging outlets all via the bright box.
IT Director
Monitor and Care for Patients
“At times I am the only person on staff for several days by myself. The bright box makes it much easier to connect and monitor all of our patients, especially being alerted to the ones most in need first.”
Clinician
Save Time with Collaboration
“It would my staff several hours to create and compile all of the reports we needed each month. With the bright box, the reports are now able to worked on across the team at the same time – and generated in 1/10 of the time it used to take.”

Our Experience
Since 2009, our software has recorded over 1M unique patient visits in 12 countries. Our previous performance in delivering high-quality, resource-level appropriate health information systems has earned us multiple repeat customers.
Examples of this include a five-year project with Qualcomm Wireless Reach in Nigeria, multi-year partnerships with Americares, Special Olympics, Merck for Mothers, and a six-year partnership of running our EMR across 45 health facilities with the Transmara District in Kenya. In Malawi, we are the first organization to nationally scale the bright box – used to digitize the country’s healthcare system.
Via VecnaCares, our non-profit arm, we are the only organization currently deploying digital health information systems to refugee camps. In a groundbreaking project for the International Committee for the Red Cross, we have developed a global, comprehensive EMR/ERP system with advanced analytics across multiple clinical workflows and in various settings.
We are happy to provide additional information about our experience, including case studies.
