Vitaway RareCare
Sadly, the healthcare system fails to accommodate the individual with rare diseases and struggles to meet the needs of patients and health teams as evidenced by the continued decline in care coordination and care delivery for adults and children with rare diseases. It is not customized to meet the needs of patients with rare or little-known diseases as evidenced in this pandemic with COVID-19. Diseases are not a "one size fits all" approach. In Africa the care of Rare diseases patients became worse where Our current healthcare system remains fragmented; patients and health teams lack the tools, trusted information, patient discrimination, and neglected patients needed to provide safe and efficient patient care for patients with rare diseases.
If we don’t take action most of them are recessive genes they may become dominant and maybe become epidemic it may become a big issue we need to start taking action now and the only action can do is to invest in systems that take care of people should it happen so we say that ready this is everywhere the disease may be rare but one thing that is Navarre is to be able to instill some form of hope and the people who are affected hope is free you don’t buy hope you can help people to get hop and so together to build a better healthier world we have to ensure to achieve that we have ensured that everybody is saved whether you have a common disease or rare diseases leave no one behind in health and society and we ensure that no continent is left behind Africa is way behind let’s be sure Africa gets there and ensure that every country is not left behind.
Vitaway RareCare is AI data-driven platform on a mission to optimize holistic care and wellness among people living with rare diseases by accessing daily care management from specialists, education tools, and safe space groups with actionable insights. We are starting building technology used to meet a set of a number of priorities these include better coordination care, more use of digital tools, and increased awareness by using AI in gathering patient and carrier person and monitoring their health, Telemedicine, video appointments in improving treatment process more efficient, patient experience and support future rare diseases research.
And also vitaway RareCare will be the social inequity help identify Rare diseases patients as a vulnerable group within the population and informs policy decisions, resource allocation as well as practices and actions.
We are the voice of Rare diseases patients in Africa, especially Rwanda, use of virtual multidisciplinary platforms including Artificial Intelligent in tracking the rare diseases, telemedicine, video appointments to reduce the cost of treatments, and accessibility to those in rural areas are starting to be implemented across some rare disease services and are great examples of using technology to support better care coordination in improving treatment process more efficient, patient experience and support future rare diseases research.
Vitaway Rarecare will be the social inequity help identify Rare diseases patients as a vulnerable group within the population and informs policy decisions, resource allocation as well as practices and actions. With Vitaway RareCare the 35% of under-five children mortality due to untimely treatment and follow-up will saved by setting screening newborns who are born to have are diseases and increase accessibility to the treatment by advocacy and allocation to the policy maker, donors etc.., creating community support and engagement both platform known as Safe space group and physical in management mental health issue and discrimination.
Finaly Vitaway RareCare will connect and create network of Family of Rare disease patient, Support group which is Genetic allience, Professional in rare diseases and corporate bodies who are investing in Rare diseases.

My name is Emmanuel HAKUZIMANA, Founder of Vitaway E-Clinic which currently operates in Rwanda, I was born in a rural Northern province, and grew up in Kigali city where getting access to healthcare services was difficult. Imagine how can 1 doctor serve 12,000 populations also there are some people neglected and discriminated against because of Genetic diseases not common where they said it is coming from ghost spirits or punishment from God known as Rare diseases. so with this problem, I grew up with a desire to save more lives and fill in this gap. Eventually, I achieve this dream by becoming a medical student, so by the time I reached my clinical years I wanted to do research about Rare diseases and why they are neglected and discriminated against. I found that health sectors and health providers do not have trusted information and enough tools to care for them and also the families living with Rare diseases have mental disorders, untimely medical follow-up, lacking information, and education, and lack of treatment were major issues those patients face so it many times leads to death, and the development of further complications in those patients and their families such poor and lose hope, so as a problem solver. I have sat down and thought, How can I solve this issue then, I come up with a solution of using Artificial Intelligence to analyze and compile data so that I can give these patients personalized feedback on how they can manage themselves, and also keep those data for future reference to the medical doctors so that she/he can diagnose and treat those patients accurately called Vitaway RareCare is AI data-driven platform on a mission to optimize holistic care and wellness among people living with rare diseases by accessing daily care management from specialists, education tools, and safe space groups with actionable insights.
Vitaway RareCare is multidisciplinary data-driven platform which act as system of integrating people together families lives with Rare diseases, Genetics professional and investors to optimize holistic care and wellness among people living with rare diseases by accessing daily care management from specialists, education tools, and safe space groups with actionable insights. We are starting building technology system combine multidisciplinary platform such as Medical record system ( MRS), Virtual Access Interface (VAI) and Telemedicine with Artificial Intelligent used to analyze the Data correctly for improving treatment process more efficient, patient experience and support future rare diseases research.
