The Opportunity

Problem

Frequent power outages in Sierra Leone disrupt healthtech businesses' electronic health record systems and diagnostic tools, causing data loss and delayed patient care.

Solution

PowerQueue captures diagnostic requests and EHR updates in a durable local queue during blackouts. On power restoration, it processes them in order via API calls to your tools. Ensures no patient care backlog from Sierra Leone power issues.
