Volunteer for a startup stopping the silent chronic disease epidemic in Africa! 🏥

Chetacare delivers predictive chronic disease management to African patients through continuous monitoring between clinic visits, ensuring no patient falls through the cracks of the healthcare system.

Africa is facing a silent crisis: over 150 million adults live with hypertension, yet 93% remain at daily risk of stroke or heart failure due to inadequate control. Furthermore, 4 in 5 Africans with diabetes are completely undiagnosed. Structural barriers—including the high cost of medicine, a concentration of doctors in urban centers, and the lack of professional follow-up—mean that more than half of diagnosed patients stop taking life-saving treatment once they leave the clinic. Without continuous monitoring, manageable conditions often progress silently until they become fatal emergencies.

Chetacare fills this critical gap by providing a predictive management platform that manages everything that happens after a patient walks out of the clinic door. We reach users through three simultaneous channels—a mobile app, WhatsApp, and an IVR voice system for rural communities without internet—providing daily medication reminders, refill alerts, and symptom tracking regardless of a patient's digital literacy. Our predictive triage engine scores every patient daily, allowing stable patients to be monitored automatically while flagging at-risk individuals for immediate follow-up or referral to the nearest clinic before a crisis occurs. By building portable Electronic Health Records and conducting direct community screenings, Chetacare transforms a reactive health system into a proactive, continuous network that prevents emergencies and restores health for millions.
