Broadband adoption will be accelerated and sustained, globally, through commercial, non-profit, government, and community partnerships

"We are pleased to announce our N50 partnership with Bluestream Health. Together we can accelerate global digital inclusion and deliver virtual healthcare solutions to those in need," said David Hartshorn, CEO of Geeks Without Frontiers, Project Management Office for the N50 Project. "We focus on tech-neutral connectivity, literacy, language, and convening partners to deliver human-enriching applications around education, healthcare, agriculture, and local entrepreneurship. We believe this model in partnership with private enterprise is the opportunity to scale. No one company can do this on their own."

"N50 is an open, inclusive ecosystem that is fueling transformation in some of the most challenging environments, and we are very excited to be a partner and part of the N50 Project mission," said Brian Yarnell, Co-founder and President, Bluestream Health. "From the start, Bluestream Health's goal has been to provide quality virtual healthcare to those in need – no matter their location or their native language. It is clear that many people in hard-hit communities just don't have access to the care they so desperately need, and we are happy to be able to enable access to patient care using our Bluestream Health platform."
