The product
Health monitoring for people the system keeps waiting
Cura is a Lagos- and Abuja-built MVP for households and community health workers in low-resource settings across Nigeria. You log how someone feels and what they take. The product keeps a household book, a CHEW caseload, and a handover sheet a PHC officer can read in a minute — without waiting for a folder that never arrives.
MVP live
Browser product for enrolment, logs, advice, and a clinical snapshot.
PHC-first
Designed around seven-minute consults and CHEW outreach, not a private hospital stack.
Record-grounded AI
The assistant speaks from this patient's symptoms and medicines. It does not invent a case.
How we do the work
Most digital health tools in Nigeria assume a stable clinic, a desktop, and a clerk. Cura assumes a phone, a long queue, and a person who has already told this story twice today. The product captures a living record, then uses that record to generate advice and a handover sheet.
01
Enrol the person
A health worker or household member opens a profile: age, sex, blood group, height, weight, and known conditions. No paper register. No second notebook.
02
Log what is happening
Symptoms are scored for intensity and how often they return. Medicines are recorded with dose, purpose, and whether the person is actually taking them.
03
Cura reads the record
The assistant compares the new entry with prior logs and produces a short plan: what to do today, what to watch this week, when a flare-up needs rest or a clinic visit.
04
Hand the snapshot to a clinician
The health summary travels with the patient to a primary health centre. The officer sees a structured history instead of a verbal list given in a corridor.
The product in use
These are screens from the current MVP. This is the surface a health worker or patient sees after enrolment — not a concept deck.
Patient overview
A single screen for identity, active complaints, current medicines, and the day's recommended actions.
Symptom register
Community health workers and patients log frequency, intensity, and time — the record a clinic can actually use.
Guided daily advice
Advice is generated from the person's own log, not a generic pamphlet. Sleep, energy, and flare-up days sit in one place.
Clinical snapshot
Age, blood group, height, weight, complaints, and medicines — a handover sheet for a PHC visit that lasts seven minutes.
Virtual assistant
Patients ask in plain language. The assistant answers against their history: what they take, how often the pain returns, how they slept.
Care settings
Symptoms, medicines, and personal details can be updated in the field without a paper card getting lost.
What ships in the MVP
We are not waiting for a national EHR. The first release covers the work that happens before a person reaches a doctor, and the work that has to continue after they leave.
Continuous monitoring, not a one-off form
Headache, fatigue, sleep, and other complaints are tracked over days and weeks. The point is the pattern, not a single clinic day.
Medication adherence in the open
What is prescribed and what is taken are two different facts. Cura keeps both, so a refill conversation is based on the record.
An assistant that knows this patient
The chat is grounded in the person's own symptoms and medicines. It does not invent a stranger and lecture them.
Built for low-resource clinics
The MVP runs in a browser on a cheap Android phone. No extra hardware. No lab cart. Designed for PHCs, CHEWs, and NGO outreach teams in Nigeria.
A clinical snapshot in one minute
Officers get age, vitals, active complaints, current drugs, and known issues on one page — enough to start a consult without hunting a folder.
Guidance people can follow at home
Tips are short, local, and tied to the log: hydrate before a migraine tablet, keep magnesium at the same hour, put the phone outside the room.
A household book
Mother, child, and grandmother on one phone. The unit that holds health is the same unit that holds money.
A CHEW caseload and a handover sheet
Who missed a tablet. Who needs Friday clinic. A one-page snapshot the officer can read before the next person sits down.
What people leave with
For patients and families
- A living record of how they feel, not a story they have to remember under pressure
- A household book — child, parent, and grandmother on one phone
- A handover sheet they can show at a PHC, chemist, or outreach post
For community health workers
- Enrolment and follow-up on a phone they already carry
- A caseload with risk flags: stable, watch, needs Friday clinic
- SMS from the desk, tied to the person, not a blast list
For primary health centres and partners
- Structured intake instead of scraps of paper
- A path to see which communities are reporting the same complaints
- An MVP that can sit beside existing registers while we add SMS, offline sync, and local-language prompts
See the record, then talk to the assistant
Open the MVP, enrol a case, and walk the same path a CHEW would use on a Tuesday morning in a crowded post.
