In Kenya, health workers can't check if a hospital's dialysis machine works, patients are unaware their insurance covers 80% of a procedure quoted at 140% of the benchmark, and pharmacists lack referral context. Vital information exists but isn't available at the point of care. TibabuIO connects it all.

## The problem
In Kenya, a community health volunteer doing a home visit has no way to check whether the hospital they're referring a patient to actually has a working dialysis machine that day. A patient doesn't know their NHIF covers 80% of the procedure they've just been quoted at 140% of the benchmark price. A pharmacist doesn't know the prescription coming in is linked to a referral from a CHW in a different county.
Information exists — specialists have availability, facilities have device inventory, NHIF publishes benchmarks, patients have insurance policies. It just isn't connected to the moment of care. TibabuIO connects it.

## What it does
A patient or CHV sends one message — in any language:
> _"Ayany rem e chuny, ok anyal yienyo maber"_ (Dholuo — "I have chest pain, I can't breathe well")
Nine agents work in sequence and in parallel:
1. **Translation** — detects the language, translates to English
2. **Intake & Specialist Finder** — Gemini extracts the clinical need, creates a `patientCareRequest` in DataHub, finds matching specialists by specialty, county, and available equipment
3. **Referral & Booking** — checks which facility has a working PCI machine, books the appointment, generates a secure referral code
4. **Insurance** (parallel) — fetches the patient's NHIF policy from DataHub, calculates the exact co-pay
5. **Billing/Money** (parallel) — checks the quoted price against the NHIF benchmark, flags overcharging
6. **Treatment & Prescription** — after the appointment, records the procedure and prescription, emails a discharge summary to the referring CHW
7. **Pharmacy & Dispensation** — finds the nearest pharmacy with the drug in stock, confirms pickup
8. **Inventory** — decrements stock, emails the pharmacy manager if it drops below 10 units
9. **Home Care** — sch …
