What specific problem are you solving?
Access to quality outpatient healthcare is a critical challenge, particularly in underserved and remote communities. In Africa, 672 million people lack adequate access to quality healthcare, while in Kenya, 20 million people face similar challenges, leading to delayed diagnoses, poor health outcomes, and high self-medication rates. Many patients must travel long distances for basic medical attention, further straining already overwhelmed healthcare systems.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 50% of the global population lacks access to essential health services, with low-income and rural communities disproportionately affected. In Kenya and across East Africa, self-medication rates exceed 60%, increasing the risk of misdiagnosis and health complications.
What is your solution?
Clinic at Hand is a portable medical solution that brings outpatient healthcare directly to patients, eliminating the need for long travel and reducing wait times. It is a compact, all-in-one device that integrates three key components:
On-site diagnostics enable real-time testing for liver and kidney function, protein analysis, enzyme assays, and other essential diagnostics.
Secure Medication Storage Provides a temperature-controlled compartment for safe medication storage and dispensing.
Medical Tools Compartment Houses essential equipment for immediate use by healthcare providers.
How It Works:
A healthcare provider carries Clinic at Hand to patient locations. The device deliver rapid diagnostic results. It also features a rechargeable power system, ensuring operation in areas without electricity. Data from tests are stored and transmitted securely via a cloud-based telehealth system, improving patient record management.
