The next big Windows 10 OS update, dubbed “The Creators Update” is rolling out. What does it offer and how do you get it if you haven’t been notified yet.
Microsoft’s new operating system update to Windows 10 started rolling out to the public on April 11th 2017 as announced. The update is designed to bring out the creator in you. In relation to Microsoft’s mission statement, it’s more like Microsoft is empowering each Windows user to achieve more by creating.
Microsoft is currently trickling out the update to users and advises you wait for it to hit your PC. It might take a while for this to happen, just as in the case of the anniversary update. This is to avoid and help solve some of the issues that come up during the update process. Alternatively if you have been an active Windows Insider then you’ve been using this update for sometime now. You can opt out now and be okay or better stay in and see what more will come in the next update as it continues. If you believe you are an IT pro, have an extra device to trial or can handle technical issues that come up during the upgrade, then you can trigger the Windows 10 creators update now using the Microsoft Update Assistant.
This is also a free upgrade if you purchased a new Windows 10 PC or upgraded from a Windows 7 or 8 PC when Microsoft allowed it. If not you’ll have to purchase it like as usual. I’m not sure if you can still validate it with your Windows 7 or 8 activation code if you are now stepping up to Windows 10. You can try and let us know how that works out for you, maybe Microsoft still has that door opened?
The Windows 10 Creators Update comes with a lot of tweaks to the feel and look of the OS. It also comes with some very notable features as well. Don’t forget that with the Windows Insider program, Microsoft is listening to how users want the OS to feel in helping them stay more productive. It also brings some under the hood improvements to performance, battery life, security, etc.

Bisa is a health application platform that brings a doctor to the patient via a smartphone or web app.
Bisa Health app is a mobile application that allows people with a smartphone interact with medical practitioners. The user does not have to be present physically at a hospital or medical facility. The platform isn’t an alternative to seeking a health treatment. It seeks to bridge the health information gap.
This is an advantage to people who need medical care and advice but are not able to visit the hospital for various reasons like; poverty, long queues at the hospital and the fear of stigmatization; especially for people who have symptoms of Sexually Transmitted Diseases(STDs) or diseases in areas that they feel are private or that makes them embarrassed to seek the needed treatment.
The Bisa Health App founders believe there is a gap in the healthcare system. Where some people are not able to easily seek medical help when needed and the platform can address this gap. However, healthcare is a basic amenity which everyone should be able to access and Bisa seeks to address this disparity in access to healthcare.
The app does not only address the problems of getting medical attention from qualified doctors but it also helps in the prevention and spread of disease by providing up-to-date information on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of common diseases and how to control spread of diseases during outbreaks.
How It Works
Currently the Bisa App is only available for Windows mobile devices from the Windows store. Maybe there’ll be a universal windows app soon?
Download the app from the Windows store . You do not need to sign in to ask a question. But you’ll need to provide some details so you can receive a reply to your question.
Bisa App is supposed to revolutionize health care in Ghana and Africa. From the comfort of your home, office, etc ask a doctor any question.
If you are not sure how to describe an ailment, you can take a picture of the affected skin or medical condition and attach it for better assessment and answering.
When you ask a question, you’ll need to give it sometime before you receive a reply. I sent a question in the morning and got a reply in the evening.
Also there are other health information’s available in the application that spans various topics. The platform also seeks to provide real time information to people on health issues when there’s an epidemic or outbreak.
Give the app a try. Download it, ask a question get a reply and tell us what you think.
