This is a website that aims at spreading awareness of available inexpensive high technologies like mesh networks, gene therapy, and digital maps, and simultaneously showcasing solutions to issues related to healthcare and education in rural areas of developing countries, through the use of such technologies. The Virtual Clinic indirectly (by studying the potential effects of a technology, or a solution on the rural residents of the subcontinent) includes a case study on India - a nation where an unacceptably high population of children living in rural areas or villages do not have access to schools, proper healthcare, or even a decent standard of living.

The Virtual Clinic highlights practical solutions to such problems faced in any developing country in today's world.
