What specific problem are you solving?
We're tackling the persistent gap in women's healthcare access that still affects over 600 million women globally in 2025 - particularly in Africa, where despite progress, one woman dies every four minutes from preventable maternal causes.
The problem remains three-fold: Geographic barriers continue to isolate rural women from specialists - Nigeria still has only one OB/GYN per 18,000 women, improved but inadequate. Financial constraints force impossible choices - the 2024 global inflation crisis pushed 28% more women to skip essential care due to cost. Cultural stigma, though slowly changing, prevents many from seeking help for reproductive or mental health issues.
Even after the 2023 WHO digital health initiative, treatable conditions become life-threatening. Breast cancer mortality in Nigeria is 58% compared to 15% in developed nations because women can't access early screening. Maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (487 per 100,000 live births as of 2024) remains 40 times higher than in high-income countries.
What's frustrating is that 75% of these deaths are preventable with timely care, and digital solutions could bridge this gap. The post-pandemic healthcare landscape exposed the critical need for accessible women's healthcare.
What is your solution?
Mom2Mom is a comprehensive digital women's health platform that combines AI-powered medical assessment with human clinical expertise, designed specifically for lower-resource environments.
Our platform offers three interconnected services: First, our AI-driven clinical interface analyzes symptoms through simple text conversations that work even on basic phones, providing immediate guidance for common issues or connecting users with specialist doctors when needed.
Second, we've integrated financial tools custom-built for healthcare needs: a micro-savings wallet (TizoraSave), healthcare-specific micro-insurance (TizoraShield), and flexible medical loans (TizoraLoan) - all designed to make healthcare financially accessible.
Third, our community forum connects women with similar health experiences, reducing isolation while providing peer support.
Technologically, we've engineered the platform to function in low-bandwidth environments using compressed data transmission and offline capabilities. Our backend uses advanced natural language processing to understand health concerns expressed in colloquial terms, and our security framework meets global healthcare data standards while operating on minimal local device resources.
What makes Mom2Mom unique is this integration of medical expertise, financial tools, and community support in one accessible package that works for women in truly challenging environments.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Mom2Mom primarily serves women in underserved communities across Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya – ranging from low-income urban dwellers to rural women who live hours from the nearest specialist. These women, typically ages 18-55, have been systematically excluded from quality healthcare by geography, economics, and cultural barriers.
Take Amina, a market vendor in Lagos who discovered a breast lump but couldn't afford to lose a day's income to travel to a clinic. Or Grace, a teacher in rural Kenya who suffered pregnancy complications but had no local maternal specialists. Before Mom2Mom, their options were limited to ignoring symptoms, consulting non-medical sources, or making costly, difficult journeys to distant facilities.
Our solution transforms their healthcare experience by bringing medical expertise directly to their phones, enabling early detection of serious conditions and providing guidance through significant life stages. The integrated financial tools mean women can plan for health expenses rather than facing catastrophic choices between healthcare and other essential needs.
Most significantly, Mom2Mom restores agency - women can make informed decisions about their bodies without judgment, geographic limitations, or financial impossibility.
