## The Problem
- **68,000+ VHTs** in Uganda are the frontline of community health β but
still rely on laminated job aids from 2015.
- **16 mothers die every day** in Uganda from preventable causes.
- **70% of Ugandans** live in rural areas with limited internet.
## The Solution
| Mode | For | Key Features |
|------|-----|-------------|
| **VHT Triage** | Village Health Teams | Agentic iCCM assessment (Assess->Classify->Treat/Refer), red-flag voice alerts, treatment protocols with exact dosages |
| **Maternal Care** | Pregnant & new mothers | Pregnancy week tracker, ANC milestones, danger sign alerts, breastfeeding & newborn care |
| **Community Health** | General public | Symptom guidance, medication reminders, GPS clinic finder with embedded map, preventive health |
### What Makes This Different
- **Agentic Triage** β Multi-step iCCM protocol as a stateful AI agent classifying 6 conditions (malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea, measles, SAM, MAM) with negation-aware danger sign detection, dehydration grading, and MUAC integration
- **Sunbird AI Integration** β Native Ugandan language STT/TTS/translation for Luganda, Runyankole, Swahili via Sunbird AI with auto-refreshing auth tokens
- **6-Tier LLM Fallback** β Groq API β Claude API β GGUF/llama.cpp β BitsAndBytes 4-bit β Full-precision β Passage-based. Never fails silently.
