What specific problem are you solving?
Uganda has the 40th highest global mortality rate associated with AMR. Approximately 30,700 deaths (71 per 100,000) were associated with AMR in 2019 ( https://www.healthdata.org/sites/default/files/2023-09/Uganda.pdf ). It is estimated that resistant infections could cost Uganda £13.3 million/year in healthcare costs ( https://camonet.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Economic-Burden-Policy-Brief-dollars.pdf ).
Village-health-teams (VHTs) play a vital role in delivering oral antibiotics to over 35 million rural Ugandans. However, poor stock management at community level results in frequent stock-outs, leading to improper use of antibiotics. Manual systems burden VHTs, leading to transcription errors and hindering timely AMR surveillance and inventory planning. In 2024, only 36% districts provided complete VHTs’ reports (as reported from MOH-DHIS2-system).
None of the current systems track batch numbers, making it difficult to verify the authenticity of antibiotics. This gap in traceability puts patients at risk, contributing to AMR, and even preventable deaths. WHO estimates that over 10% of medicines in LMICs are falsified. With the Government of Uganda committing over £44 million to procure essential medicines, including antibiotics, in 2025–26, this investment remains significantly vulnerable without robust traceability systems in place ( https://library.health.go.ug/medical-products-technologies/pharmaceuticals-and-drugs/integrated-quantification-report-essential ).
What is your solution?
SnapTrak enables VHTs to capture antibiotic details by taking pictures of packages using sub-£70 Android smartphones common among VHTs. The offline-first architecture uses AI-image analysis to extract data like antibiotic name/strength, batch, expiry and quantity, eliminating manual data entry by VHTs.
By capturing stock data and synchronising when online, SnapTrak enables VHTs to track inventory and consumption. It provides data within 5 minutes for Ministry of Health (MOH) planning teams. Access to real-time community-level consumption will improve planning and consistency of supplies. In addition, SnapTrak’s backend continuously monitors stock levels to alert stock-outs 2-weeks ahead, using consumption trends.
SnapTrak integrates with the National Drug Authority (NDA) database, which contains batch numbers entering Uganda’s supply chain, to track and verify antibiotics, helping detect falsifications during receipt. During dispensing, SnapTrak updates the NDA database to decommission serial numbers, flagging falsifications if the same serial number is scanned elsewhere. NDA will gain pack-level traceability—seeing exactly who dispensed each antibiotic, down to the patient, time, and location.
SnapTrak can serve pharmacies as a standalone app for verification and also integrate with their existing systems.
Batch-serialisation data will improve recall management.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Gonsha, a mother in Kamuli, often worries when her child is ill. Even when Francis (VHT) administers antibiotics, she wonders whether they are effective—or sufficient.
With SnapTrak, Francis will be alerted if stock is running low—well before a shortage occurs. He can ensure Gonsha receives genuine antibiotics for her child when needed.
SnapTrak doesn’t just help Francis and Gonsha. It empowers 150,000+ VHTs and 1,500 pharmacies across Uganda to maintain steady, safe stocks of antibiotics for over 35 million rural Ugandans. For VHTs like Francis, SnapTrak reduces paperwork and saves 15-20 hours of administrative time each month, allowing them to focus better on care.
With SnapTrak, MOH can access stock data within 5 minutes, helping planners ensure timely monthly replenishments. NDA can trace medicines back to their batches, improving detection and removal of falsified antibiotics—protecting even more lives.
As SnapTrak scales in Uganda, and beyond, it will build a shared product information database and leverage AI to detect counterfeits more effectively across the region. SnapTrak is applicable in the animal health sector furthering a One Health approach to mitigate AMR.
For Gonsha—and millions like her—SnapTrak brings peace of mind, better health, and a safer future.
