Smart, accessible healthcare for underserved communities

Too many lives are lost because care comes too late

Billions of people across the world still lack access to essential healthcare, including routine screening and monitoring, meaning health risks and conditions can go undetected until they become more difficult to treat – or until it is too late.

Fragmented health systems can then prevent timely, coordinated care across community, primary, secondary and tertiary services, contributing to preventable illness and deaths.

Maternal and newborn health

Around 260,000 women die globally each year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth – equivalent to more than 700 women every day, or one every two minutes – with most deaths preventable through timely access to quality maternal healthcare.

Under-5 child health and nutrition

Around 13,000 children under five die every day, many from preventable or treatable causes, while nearly 1 in 4 children under five are affected by stunting – highlighting major gaps in early detection, monitoring and access to care.

Infectious and non-communicable diseases

Late detection and delayed treatment lead to preventable illness, suffering and deaths across infectious diseases such as TB and HIV, and non-communicable diseases including diabetes, hypertension, respiratory diseases and cancers.

We’re changing this through smarter, preventive healthcare

We’re a non-profit organisation expanding access to preventive healthcare for underserved communities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by building smarter, digitally enabled health systems.

We equip frontline health workers, health centres and hospitals with smart technology to enable at-home and community-based screening and monitoring, early risk detection and coordinated follow-up – connecting underserved communities to essential primary, secondary and tertiary care.

We partner with governments, healthcare providers and NGOs to co-design and deploy solutions based on local needs, care pathways and clinical protocols. Our approach utilises the smart Clinitouch platform and other digital health monitoring technologies, selecting the tools best suited to each community and setting. We design our programmes to integrate into existing health systems, build local capacity and support sustainable local ownership.

Our goal is to overcome barriers to access by making routine at-home and community-based screening and monitoring universally accessible across maternal and newborn health, non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases. Through earlier risk detection, timely follow-up and preventive intervention, we aim to improve health outcomes in the communities where it is needed most.

Our initiatives across Ethiopia, Eswatini, Nigeria, and South Africa have provided vital screening or monitoring to more than 200,000 people in underserved communities, identified more than 34,000 people at increased health risk, and enabled over 80% of those identified as at risk to access follow-up care.
