WOLETSGO
WOLETSGO addresses the challenge of inaccessible and underutilized preventive health screenings in women, a widespread issue both locally and globally. In the communities we operate, a significant number of women fail to receive recommended screenings at the recommended intervals. This leads to missed opportunities for early detection and intervention of potential health issues. Nationally and globally, millions of women are affected by this issue, impacting their overall well-being and quality of life.

Key contributing factors to this problem include limited access to healthcare information, lack of personalized guidance, and inadequate reminders for screenings. WOLETSGO's solution leverages AI to provide personalized recommendations for preventive care, ensuring that women receive timely screenings and tailored wellness plans. By empowering women with accessible and individualized healthcare information, we aim to significantly improve the uptake of preventive health measures and ultimately enhance women's overall health outcomes.
WOLETSGO is an innovative AI-powered platform designed to revolutionize how women access preventive healthcare. It serves as an intuitive, user-friendly interface connecting women with personalized and accessible preventive health services.
