To support CHAI and the Kenya Ministry of Public Health & Sanitation in this effort, HP is supporting students from Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya, who have developed a custom database application that uses cloud computing to improve the tracking process and make test results available online, as well as via SMS/GSM-enabled printers in real time.

HP's $1 million investment also includes servers, storage, PCs, networking equipment, SMS-enabled printers, and local IT training and support.
