Connecting the unconnected to the world of digital health.

Our system enables remote health care facilities to generate and share vital drug stock data in the most challenging conditions.
The problem: access to medicines in rural and remote communities.
After giving birth in a rural clinic in Uganda, a new mother is experiencing a post-partum hemorrhage. It’s the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide—taking a life every four minutes.

This complication can be prevented with a 14¢ drug.
The problem? The drug isn’t in stock and there’s no way to check surrounding facilities. Consistent power failures have made pen + paper the best option for keeping track of drugs. Mobile networks are down again.

Disconnected from the right information, the doctor sends someone to go in search of the drug—only hoping they will find what they need to help this young mother.
The Solution: providing digital health infrastructure that thrives at every rural health facility that can ensure real-time stock visibility across the network.
What exactly does that look like?

1.
Digitizing drug-stock management.
90% of healthcare centres in Uganda still use pen and paper to manage drug stock. To respond to this challenge, we built a solar-powered system that can operate with intermittent network connectivity—so that vital health data can be digitized, organized, and shared across the country.

2.
Making all health centre data visible at a national level.
Current stock data management practices (pen and paper) mean that international, national, and other local stakeholders have no visibility to needs. We use 2G networks to automatically share data via a distributed ledger—so that it is up-to-date and accessible for all relevant stakeholders.

3.
Fulfilling the promise of global investments into digital healthcare.
Billions have been invested into digitizing health systems around the world—but most of that funding is only reaching 10% of healthcare facilities. Our system will bring the other 90% of facilities online: unlocking the potential of previous healthcare strategies through interoperability.
How do we do this? 
Why is this necessary?
Most digital health tools only work well and reliably where there is steady 4G and access to steady power supplies. However, most of Uganda does not have access to that coverage.
