Who is it for?
Ten profiles, each with its manual to read online.
Security and privacy
Health data is treated as particularly sensitive; critical rules are enforced by the database itself.
- Identity verified before activation; licence number and diplomas for professionals; legal documents for facilities.
- Patients decide what they share, with whom and for how long, and can see who viewed their record.
- No employer or administrative role can access medical data.
- Encrypted communications, private files, tamper-proof audit logs, backups with tested restoration.
- Minors are registered by a verified parent or legal guardian.
Modest subscriptions
Registration is free. The monthly subscription is paid by mobile money, only after the account is approved. No emergency ever depends on payment.

Each finds tools designed for their work, with strict respect for the confidentiality of health data.— KAJA LUKALU Joël, Managing Director, ESPAGNORA SARLU
