SMS-powered remote monitoring that works on any phone, no internet needed.
Business owners in rural Mozambique struggle to scale digital health platforms for remote patient monitoring due to unreliable internet connectivity.
Patients or workers send vitals via SMS (e.g., 'HR 80 BP 120/80'). System parses, stores, and triggers alerts/SMS reports to doctors. Rural platforms scale effortlessly using ubiquitous SMS coverage in Mozambique.
