MillenniumIT ESP submitted its HealthVision platform, a Remote Patient Management and Monitoring solution suitable for patient primary healthcare service and for symptom reporting, designed during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The award-winning submission for the Microsoft Partner of the Year 2021 competition was designed along with MillenniumIT ESP’s esteemed customer MJF Charitable Foundation – disABILITY App powered by HealthVision. 

The app was launched in Sri Lanka to help children with special needs during the COVID-19 lockdown. Its purpose was to introduce tele-therapy and education services for special needs students at the MJF Charitable Foundation and was later expanded to support children in all districts of the country. This solution is the first of its kind globally and has the potential to reach out to 17M persons with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome or other developmental disorders around the world.

“Working with MillenniumIT ESP in developing the disABILITY App was enormously fulfilling. The collaboration expresses my father’s vision of business as a matter of human service. Their use of brilliant expertise and innovation in addressing a critical problem through the app exceeded our expectations at the MJF Foundation. The app is unique, and being easy to distribute and use, it serves children with developmental disorders and their families in a significant way. It is transformational in giving families safe access to therapies at a time when their vulnerability is at its highest,” commented Dilmah Ceylon Tea Company CEO and MJF Charitable Foundation Trustee Dilhan C. Fernando.
