This app guides refugees to free local healthcareThis app guides refugees to free local healthcare

Refugees in need of medical care in Europe can now use a free web app that lists safe, free-to-access clinics across the continent.

Doctors of the World, the charity behind the ClinicFinder app, said there was a "real need" for refugees to know where they can access medical advice without being landed with a hefty bill. The app is browsed-based, mobile friendly and available in Arabic, English, Farsi and French.

"If we show them where they can definitely get free healthcare, thats really useful," Tom McKenzie, business development and innovation manager at the charity, tells WIRED.

The service uses a devices GPS to show the nearest non-governmental, free-to-access clinics offering safe, free services. It can also be searched by location (Athens,Berlin) or medical need (children, victim of violence).

McKenzie said there was often confusion amongst health workers and refugees about their medical rights, which led to misinformation and fear. Some refugees, he said, were incorrectly turned away from medical facilities to which they should have free access, while some were too afraid to visit clinics for fear of arrest. 

The web app, which has only just gone live, has details of 73 clinics in 16 countries. McKenzie said how big it could grow remained "an unknown quantity".

"Although it doesnt sound like a lot, its more than has ever been put into one central resource," he explained. "Well get a better sense of how much it could grow once people know about it".

Anyone can submit a clinic to be listed on the service, with all entries requiring pre-approval by the charity. McKenzie said checking the legitimacy of new clinics was "one of the most important things" for the service. "Theyll know straight away that they will get help," he added.

10,000 doctors and nurses working with refugees in Europe have already been sent contact cards with details of the ClinicFinder app, which will now be distributed to those in need.

The charity said it hoped other aid agencies would contribute to the service, increasing the number of clinics listed "substantially". Better information on what is available and where could also stop replication of similar services, according to the charity.

McKenzie said the "majority" of refugees and migrants used smartphones, with access to Wi-Fi one of the first things they ask about when arriving in Europe.

"Its where they get every piece of information from and where they communicate with their families," he added.

Doctors of the World has been working with refugees in Calais since 2003 and is part of the global Médecins Du Monde network, whose 3,000 volunteers work on more than 350 projects in 80 countries.

As well as helping refugrees overseas, the charity also has clinics in Bethnal Green, London and in Brighton, that provide medical care and support for migrants and refugees.

New Little iPhone May Sprout This Spring

The model reportedly will be called the "iPhone 5se" -- for "special edition" -- and will be offered at the same price point as the iPhone 5s.

The iPhone 5se will have design features similar to the 5s, which was released in 2013, but it will have internal, hardware and software features gleaned from more recent models, according to the report, which cited unnamed Apple sources. Those features include the following:

• Curved glass edges like the iPhone 6 and 6s;
• 8-megapixel rear and 1.2-MP front cameras;
• Support for panorama photos and for autofocus in video mode;
• A barometer to track elevation in the Health app;
• An NFC chip for use with Apple Pay;
• The iPhone 6s A8 and M8 processors;
• Support for Bluetooth 4.2, VoLTE and 802.11ac WiFi, all found in the iPhone 6s;
• Live Photos from the 6s;
• A headphone jack; and
• 6s color offerings in silver, space gray, gold and rose gold.

Cant Wrap Hands Around Phone

Release of the rumored iPhone 5se could be a winning strategy for Apple.

"It seems very likely that Apple has demand for a 4-inch iPhone, and that they will accommodate the market with one some time this year," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.

"Its a very likely and viable product. It wont be their best-selling phone, but it will offer an option for folks who are interested in that size screen, said Bob ODonnell, chief analyst with Technalysis Research.

Apples newer models with larger screens are not pocketable, noted Ramon T. Llamas, a senior research analyst for mobile devices technology and trends atIDC.

"There are lots of Apple users out there who like Apples products but cant wrap their hands around some of these larger phones, even if theyre only 4.7 inches," he told TechNewsWorld. "The [iPhone 5se] is an acknowledgement of what some customers have been asking for some time now."

Balancing Price and Features

A number of Apple users are sticking with older iPhone models like the iPhone 5 and 5s because of the size issue, Llamas pointed out.

"On the other hand, people dont want to skimp out on every feature," he said. "They may not get 3D touch with the [iPhone 5se], but theyre going to get Apple Pay, Siri and FaceTime."

"The se stands for special edition, but maybe they should call it the ge for good enough," he noted.

"Youre not getting all the latest, greatest features," Llamas continued, "but youre getting the features that most people can get by on."

A number of factors would be needed for the iPhone 5se to be successful, said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. They include a price tag lower than other iPhone models, features that drive user engagement and monetization for Apple, and enough differentiation that consumers who can afford to buy a more expensive model will do so.

"I feel that Apple has learned from the 5c, and if all the rumors about the [5se] are true, they would hit all my points," she told TechNewsWorld.

"What I feel people should not count on is a drastically cheaper iPhone, as this is still not Apples business," Milanesi said.

Breaking Cadence

If Apple were to introduce an iPhone with a 4-inch display, it would expand the screen options for customers looking to upgrade their phones.

"Many people, especially with smaller hands, prefer the 4-inch models, while others like the 5-inch and 5.5-inch versions," Creative Strategies Bajarin told TechNewsWorld.

"Apple would just be giving customers more options," he added.

The iPhone 5se also could open up a worthwhile revenue channel for Apple.

"If youre Apple and you see how much of your revenue is driven by the iPhone, youll want to take a look at some adjacent markets where you can reap incremental revenues, while at the same time leverage what you already have in place," IDCs Llamas said.

Although a release of a new iPhone in the spring would break the cadence for phone introductions -- theyre usually released in September -- Apple has been known to break cadence now and again.

"Every once in a while Apple will do something like that -- just slip a product out all of sudden," Technalysis ODonnell told TechNewsWorld. "It tends to be a modestly iterative version of a previous product. I think thats how theyre going to treat this one."
