Ohospital

In Kenya, 70% of the population is rural. Most of the individuals earn an average of 2$. With only 5% with insurance, they prefer to buy over-the-counter medicine, ignore or just google signs and symptoms and buy medication. If they decide to visit a hospital, they are met with inadequate specialists, medicine, or machinery. They also have to spend an average of three to six hours to get the service. With the rise of lifestyle diseases[Contributing to 55% of hospital admission], and Covid, accessing health services is in demand.

Ohospital helps doctors and patients build partnerships with each other through an intelligent video and messaging app that uses machine learning to provide a personalized health services marketplace. Ohospital has several major components.

1) Connecting doctors to patients, the patients can do direct consultancy through video and messages or book for an in-person visit. 

2) Payment and insurance, patients are able to buy insurance in several forms. Our main product is Medkit, which is a package of several services all related to health. We are working to also integrate blockchain. 

3) E-commerce, our users are able to purchase different products and are delivered to their homes.

4) Data storage and sharing, patients are able to store and share with doctors of choice. 

We provide the doctors and patients with a markeplace they can connect and offer services. The doctors are able to manage, follow up and offer services. 

Our solution is for health providers and patients. On health providers we focus on specilists, nurses and community officers. On patinets we are focus on general consultancy, mental health, patients with pre-condtions and medical prescription. Healthcare in Kenya and Africa is not balanced, it fovour a certain group of people in society, Ohospital is bringing equality and accessibility to any patinets at any time and anywhere. The users can access the solution through mobile app, web portal and USSD. 

Our team is made up of mixed skillsets. Ohospital was founded by Daniel Kimani a business developer and mind behind Suhade Tech and Investment and Uzalendo news. He was co-founded by Evans Kibet who is a mobile app developer, Emmanuel Davidson who is the CTO and software lead, and Teresia Watiri a health practitioner. We have internal health providers and developers. A ranging number of advisors in the medical and business failed and UNDP and Konza. Our team has in a certain stage of life experienced the problem first hand, either from family or friends. 

I have been following solver for some time. I have come to love the spirit and the support the community gives each other. I believe being part of the community will accelerate our development and growth and also expand. We are also looking for support and fiance to launch a customer care center and integrate several payment gateways.
