SESH

SESH (Social Entrepreneurship to Spur Health; Chinese: 赛思项目) is a partnership between Southern Medical University Dermatology Hospital and the University of North Carolina Project-China that uses crowdsourcing to improve health. In China, the team lead the "Sex + Health" image crowdsourcing contest, a condom contest, crowdsourcing for patterns for HIV testing and referrals, and the "HepTestContest," a global hepatitis testing contest. Together with the World Health Organization, SESH helped develop the HepTestContest. The purpose was to identify and evaluate Hepatitis B/C testing projects throughout the world. They also organized the "Healthy Cities Contest" and helped to advise on "2BeatHIV." The founder of the organization is Joe Tucker.
