What specific problem are you solving?
In many parts of Africa, especially in underserved communities like Kahama, Tanzania, pregnant women face life threatening barriers to accessing timely, quality maternal healthcare. These include lack of specialized doctors, limited access to prenatal education, poor nutrition guidance, and weak referral systems. Rural clinics are often disconnected from urban or international medical expertise, leading to preventable maternal and infant deaths.
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020, 95% of them in low and middle income countries, with two thirds in sub Saharan Africa. Tanzania alone records an estimated 556 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, far above the global average.
Contributing factors include limited digital health infrastructure, slow data sharing between hospitals, lack of access to skilled professionals, and inadequate patient follow up. The absence of platforms for real time expert collaboration and maternal support is a major gap.
Our solution, NexaMed & MamaCare, addresses this by enabling clinics to digitally share patient data, connect with global experts, and conduct live consultations, while offering pregnant women a personalized mobile app with nutrition plans, education, and specialist appointments bridging both access and knowledge gaps.
What is your solution?
NexaMed & MamaCare are digital health solution designed to improve maternal healthcare and connect medical professionals across regions.
MamaCare is a mobile app that supports pregnant women with personalized health guidance. It offers nutrition tips, reminders for medical checkups, educational content, and allows them to book appointments with doctors or clinics. It also provides access to live consultations and follow ups with maternal health specialists.
NexaMed is a digital platform for hospitals, clinics, and medical professionals. It allows them to share patient reports such as scans and lab results securely, consult with global experts in real time, and even participate in live surgeries or training sessions. Clinics can also connect with specialists in big cities or other countries for faster, better informed treatment decisions.
The solution uses cloud technology to store and share medical data securely, and AI tools to analyze health trends. It’s accessible via mobile and desktop applications, ensuring both healthcare workers and patients can use it easily. MamaCare and NexaMed work together to ensure that even women in remote areas receive world class maternal care through technology and collaboration.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our solution directly serves two key groups:
1. Pregnant women and new mothers in underserved areas, especially in rural and semi-urban regions like Kahama, Tanzania. These women often face poor access to quality healthcare, limited prenatal education, nutrition guidance, and delayed emergency support due to distance, cost, or lack of specialists. Many rely on local clinics that lack advanced tools or expert support, putting their lives and those of their babies at risk.
2. Healthcare providers including local clinics, hospitals, and medical professionals who struggle to access updated knowledge, specialist consultation, or real time data sharing platforms. They are often isolated and lack resources to refer or collaborate on complex maternal health cases.
Our solution, MamaCare, empowers women with timely health information, appointment booking, nutrition tips, and remote doctor access. NexaMed equips clinics and health workers with digital tools to consult with national and global experts, share patient reports, and access live training.
By bridging this gap with technology, we bring quality maternal care closer to the people who need it most, improving both survival and health outcomes.
