Offline outbreak alerts and donor reports for African clinics
Mozambique health clinics must contain malaria, cholera, and unsafe water outbreaks after floods while facing sharp cuts in US aid and pressure to self-finance their entire care systems.
VigiFlood is a mobile-first app that lets clinic staff report malaria, cholera and waterborne cases in one tap even offline. The platform aggregates anonymized data to deliver localized risk alerts and automatically generates professional impact reports that clinics can send to local governments and alternative funders to replace lost US aid.
Public health officials, clinic staff, and local governments in low-income, flood-prone African nations
Built exclusively for low-connectivity African flood zones with true offline-first sync and localized protocols in Portuguese, English and Swahili — competitors are either desktop systems or lack the self-financing report generator.

Mobile tool for Mozambican clinics to report cases, receive alerts, and generate reports that secure local funding after US aid cuts.
Contact the Mozambique Ministry of Health’s provincial directors in flood-prone Sofala and Zambezia via warm intros from local NGOs (e.g. Médecins Sans Frontières Mozambique). Offer 3 months free to the first 15 clinics in exchange for weekly feedback calls and a case study. Leverage existing WhatsApp groups of district health officers to expand virally.
Powerful analytics used by many governments
Complex desktop interface, poor offline experience on basic phones
Purpose-built mobile offline experience with one-tap donor reports
Strong data collection forms
Generic, not focused on post-flood disease or self-financing
Built-in risk alerts and funding report templates specific to malaria/cholera
The more clinics report, the more accurate district-level risk predictions become — creating a data network effect that improves value for every participant.
Sharp US aid cuts in 2024-2025 have forced clinics to self-finance while climate-driven floods are increasing in frequency. Smartphone penetration in rural Mozambique now exceeds 45% and Flutterwave makes local payments frictionless.
Health data privacy regulations in Mozambique
Anonymize all aggregated data, store only minimal identifiable info with explicit consent, consult local legal expert
Slow adoption by government clinics
Start with NGO-supported clinics and use their success stories to approach ministries
Unreliable sync in remote areas
Heavy local Hive caching with exponential backoff sync and manual 'force sync' button
Success: At least 70% say they would pay $29/mo and 80% rank offline capability as critical
Success: Weekly active usage >75% and at least 8 clinics generate a donor report
