Clinical AdvisorEvery day, people in rural areas face life-threatening situations not because treatment is unavailable, but because they lack guidance on when and where to seek care.
This guidance gap is driven by four severe systemic barriers:
Crucial hours are lost deciding when and where to seek care or get medications.
Allows patients to ask health questions and receive immediate guidance using simple text messages on any basic mobile phone, requiring no internet connectivity.
Dedicated physical dispatch kits that automatically receive text requests from local health volunteers and route them directly to our central offline health database.
Bypasses mobile internet coverage gaps by routing medical queries through standard mobile messaging channels instead of web data.
Fully supports Swahili, English, and local dialects to ensure language is never a barrier to receiving critical health guidance.
Directs patients to the closest medical clinic or hospital that has the right equipment, tools, and doctors for their specific health needs.
Allows users to ask health questions by simply speaking into the system, converting voice into text to make it accessible to everyone.
Patient reports symptoms via SMS (Kabambe) or Web portal.
Gateway bridge cleanses, verifies, and routes incoming patient queries.
Central backend classifies queries using local medical AI or cloud models.
AI orchestrator compiles triage advice & checks GBV safety flows.
Queries KMHFR GIS database to select nearest level 1-5 facility.
Dispatches alerts to clinics or triggers secure Counselors & Helpline 1195.
Standard SMS text via local telecom operator tower.
Voice-to-text logging & rich portal interface.
Receives patient messages from rural health posts and forwards them securely.
Cleanses, normalizes payload headers, & queues triage tasks.
Runs offline in county server hardware. Zero internet latency.
Handles complex medical queries when connectivity is available.
Geospatial index matching patient needs to closest clinic.
Sends clear diagnostic guidance back to Kabambe or Smartphone.
Instant secure alert dispatch to crisis counselors & Kenya Helpline 1195.
Maintains active physical dispatch kits built with custom microcontroller boards and low-power SIM800 GSM modems. These nodes act as localized internet-free relays bridging remote community health volunteers directly to the AI operating system.
Our solution primarily advances SDG 3 by improving healthcare access, while leveraging innovation (SDG 9) to reduce inequalities (SDG 10) and empower communities through knowledge (SDG 4).
Core AI engine training, SMS parser configuration, DB setup
Beta release in localized communities, medical validations
Project supervision, transport, legal advice and audits
Database server costs, SMS gateway integration keys
County-level health API linkages, telco bundle setups
Together, we can transform rural healthcare through intelligent, accessible, and life-saving technology.
