What we do - Spirit Health Foundation

Why our approach is different

Current health systems are too reactive vs preventative, too siloed vs integrated, and too difficult to access for millions of people living in underserved communities. Our programme approach is different – enabled by Clinitouch and integrated with existing health systems via FHIR standards.

It’s simpler… Community health workers are enabled to provide education, screening, monitoring and referrals for any health condition in any community all on one simple, offline Clinitouch app. Fully customisable for any health area (Maternal & Child health, Non-Communicable Diseases, Infectious Diseases), for any language and for any country guideline. Primary healthcare led by the communities, not siloed programmes.

It’s smarter… A risk score is generated for every person screened or monitored based on the data captured, so facilities are able to remotely monitor it all on the Clinitouch portal, taking action to prevent or treat diseases early. Many community health worker tools only assess symptoms, our solution also focuses on risk factors, enabling healthcare providers to detect and address diseases early – protecting lives.

We provide unlimited Clinitouch licenses for free and catalyse new programmes

We provide unlimited free licenses for the Clinitouch platform, plus clinical, technical, training, data and system design support to country partners, and work with them to build and scale the solution in country health systems.

After launching at the end of 2023, we are already collaborating with a wide range of partners include Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Dandelion Africa, Global Health Partnerships and Unjani Clinics across four countries in Sub-Saharan Africa – South Africa, Eswatini, Kenya and Ethiopia.

Our focus areas

We work with partners in underserved communities to improve outcomes in two focus areas. We’re not focused on specific diseases as the communities need stronger primary healthcare systems for all conditions, not siloed disease programmes. Clinitouch is customisable for any health condition, so enables us to provide this.
