                Venue: Twitter Chat
                Time: 3PM EST
                Date:19 December 2012
                The world has changed since the ’80s, when Bill Drayton, Ashoka’s founder andRead moreCEO, first used the term “social entrepreneur” to describe someone who uses business principles to tackle social problems.
                The phrase, while applied to successful innovators throughout the social sector, isn’t yet understood on a truly global scale. But we’ve already seen changemakers and their social business models begin to redefine the corporate strategies of tomorrow. Some social entrepreneurs have even been front and center at major worldwide events, including this year’s G2012 Conference in Mexico.
                Where do we go from here? What is the future of social entrepreneurship and social innovation? That’s what Ashoka, the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI), and others are asking. A couple of weeks ago, Bill Drayton and New York Times solutions journalist David Bornstein shared their predictions during an event at CSI in New York City. CSI Executive Director Eli Malinsky also put together a handful of predictions of his own.
                But we want to hear what YOU—the global community of changemakers—think, because in this rapidly changing world we share, the future will be here before we know it.
                Speak up and let the world know how we can change the world for the better during our next #SocEntChat on Wednesday December 13 at 3 p.m. EST. Joining the conversation is easy; check the FAQs below for instructions. Even if you don’t tweet, it’ll be worth tracking the hashtag, where today’s leading social innovators will share their insights. Also, be sure to invite your friends and followers to join the discussion. The best way is to post a tweet or Facebook post like this one:

                Also mark your calendars for another live online social innovation event. We’re hosting a Google+ Hangout this week, on Thursday, December 13, from 10-11 a.m. EST. “Can you work in a corporation and be social innovator?”: early entry winners from the inauguralLeague of Social Intrapreneurs Ashoka Changemakers competition will share their expertise. Watch the Hangout live by tuning into our Youtube channel and use the #SocInthashtag to join the conversation on Twitter.
                See you on the Web, changemakers!

                      We’re combing the country to find examples of intelligent, scalable innovation – and we’re going to pick 20 of the best to be featured here, and on the pages of Tehelka." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://tehelka.com/">Tehelka. These are some of the most compelling and untold stories of our time – and they reflect another truth; that spirit and determination can master any challenge.


                      This article was originally published http://tippingpoint.thinkworks.in/rajendra-sadhu/" target="_blank">here.




                      WITH A MASTERS in IT from Vijaywada, an MBA from Rutgers University in New Jersey, and 10 years at Verizon Wireless, one would have assumed Sadhu, 39, had his professional life all charted out. Instead, he quit his job and invested his life’s savings in creating VESAG.


                      http://rise.mahindra.com/mom-i-know-how-you-feel/_mg_6527-001/" rel="attachment wp-att-2969">http://rise.mahindra.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/MG_6527-001.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="478" />


                      THE CHALLENGE


                      WHAT’S INCREDIBLE is not that Rajendra Sadhu, founder of Vyzin Electronics, thought of the device he later named VESAG; what’s amazing is that no one had thought of it before. When his parents’ ill health caused him to leave everything in the United States and come home to look after them, he started to wonder at the absence of monitoring services or devices that could help avert a medical disaster.


                      THE IDEA


                      SADHU CONCEIVED of a remote monitoring device that could be ‘worn’ and that would track the vitals of the user; the device would trigger an emergency response mechanism when something was wrong. On coming up with the idea in March 2010, he knew he had a winner; before starting work on developing it, he applied for the requisite patents, then started work on the device and by November, had a working prototype.


                      http://rise.mahindra.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/MG_6663-210x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="300" align="left" />


                      At the core of VESAG, which is designed like a wristwatch, is the monitoring of almost 17 health vitals such as pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, etc. Any change in the vitals above a certain level triggers an emergency call to a pre-fixed number; either an ambulance or a hospital. Vyzin has also tied up with Mera Doctor, a Mumbai-based doctor-on-call service to offer a bonus service: at the push of a button, the patient is connected to a doctor who can analyse the information, being transmitted by the device, to offer a diagnosis.


                      You can set medicine reminders on it; also, downloading a simple app on any Android phone can give the user’s family, anywhere in the world, real-time access to their vitals and health data.


                      VESAG uses a SIM card and a basic GPRS data connection to transfer data to the VESAG portal, from where the data can be disseminated in a host of ways. There’s a built-in microphone and speakerphone; as well as a built-in wireless hub to receive and relay data. In India, the device costs about Rs 6,500, while one year’s subscription to the Mera Doctor service comes free.


                      THE INNOVATOR


                      WITH A MASTERS in IT from Vijaywada, an MBA from Rutgers University in New Jersey, and 10 years at Verizon Wireless, one would have assumed Sadhu, 39, had his professional life all charted out. Instead, he quit his job and invested his life’s savings in creating VESAG. Actual development of the device was primarily done by him; it was only when he came upon specific requirements, “such as the plastic injection mould needed for the watch”, that he brought other people in to work with him. In March 2011, Connected World magazine ranked the device the No 1 Connected Health Devices in the world.


                      http://rise.mahindra.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/MG_6616-001-210x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="300" align="right" />


                      THE IMPACT


                      NOW SOLD IN over 10 countries, Sadhu says the response has been phenomenal. “Every day, we receive emails from around the world from caregivers whose lives have been transformed by having access to VESAG. It also frees up women who oen don’t work, to step out of the house, secure that elderly family members are monitored.” Many, though, have found innovative uses for VESAG. “Parents use it to monitor children’s well-being when at school,” he says. “We have started hearing of BPO employees who find it offers them a sense of security and access to emergency services when coming home late at night.”


                      THE WAY FORWARD


                      “IT’S INEXPENSIVE, BUT even this proves too much of an investment in villages,” says Sadhu. He’s currently piloting a project whereby individual devices are placed at a panchayat office. “Each watch can store up to 99,999 unique IDs. Villagers can be given a unique ID number; they can wear the watch after entering their unique ID number. This transmits their health information to doctors and can prove a fantastic diagnostic tool when there aren’t hospitals or doctors close by,” says Sadhu.
