DESCRIPTION

As internet connectivity becomes a key aspect influencing Social Determinants of Health(SDoH), Community (owned) Mesh Networks are intended to be decentralized and embedded network infrastructures. These infrastructures are co-imagined and co-built in ways that are community-driven and are responsive to local realities. COMN was co-built with a hamlet in coastal Karnataka, Hara.

This engagement is part of a larger work Samagra Arogya. The works shared here were developed in close collaboration with Abhiram Jois, Vidya HP, Shruthi Naik and others at Aruvu Collaboratory.
