Science & Technology

Our mission is to put the power of computing and digital making into the hands of people all over the world. We do this so that more people can harness the power of computing and digital technologies to learn, to solve problems that matter to them, and to express themselves creatively.

D-Rev is a nonprofit portfolio medical device company that designs market-driven health solutions to ensure access to world-class, affordable products for the people who need them most. We find the most critical health care issues disproportionately impacting the world's poor and most vulnerable and design cost-effective, culturally-appropriate solutions to close the gaps in quality healthcare. We believe that our user-centric model to design and deliver solutions via the market has the potential to solve critical health problems – for good. By providing services in low-income markets that traditional medical device companies overlook, we expand addressable markets for the industry. We push companies to compete with D-Rev by bringing down their prices while maintaining quality – resulting in greater choice for purchasers and better care for patients.
