MediCapt is a mobile phone application developed by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) to collect evidence of sexual violence in conflict areas. In 2013 it won an award for atrocity prevention. [1] The technology was field tested by physicians in Democratic Republic of Congo, where there is military violence in remote areas, and where WIFI and electrical power connections can be unreliable.

In 2017, members of an organized militia in the DRC were put on trial for kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and mutilating 46 children, some as young as 8 months old. Physicians for Human Rights provided technical support for obtaining forensic evidence for the trial. Parents of the children testified from behind a screen, covered from head to toe, and using voice modification technology. [4] In December 2017, the court convicted 12 militia members, including a member of parliament. [5]
