Fayda-powered HealthTech solution to track patient history in Ethiopia. # faydahealth-hackathon2025 # Project Title:- FaydaCare- Fayda-powered HealthTech solution to track patient history in Ethiopia. # Contributors: Yohana Tadesse Abel Habtamu # Problem Synopsis # Problem Statement:- In Ethiopia, patients often face serious challenges due to the lack of a centralized and reliable system for tracking medical history. When people visit different clinics or hospitals, their past records are usually missing, stored on paper, or lost altogether. This makes it hard for doctors to give quick and accurate care, often leading to repeated tests, misdiagnoses, or delayed treatments. For patients, this not only costs time and money but can also risk their health. # Expected Outcome:- We aim to reduce the confusion and delays that happen when patients go from one clinic to another without their history. With this system, doctors will make faster and better decisions, patients will avoid repeating tests, and hospitals will save time and resources. Most importantly, people will receive more consistent and effective care across the country. # Planned Solution:- We’re building a mobile app that connects patient medical records to their Fayda ID, creating a digital health profile that moves with the person no matter where they go. Health professionals will be able to quickly pull up a patient’s history using their Fayda number, making it easier to understand past treatments, medications, and diagnoses. The app will be simple, secure, and usable even in low-resource settings. # Role of Fayda in HealthTech:- Fayda, Ethiopia’s National Digital ID, gives every citizen a unique, verified identity. In healthcare, this can solve one of the biggest challenges: connecting a patient to their medical history across different hospitals and clinics. Right now, patients are often treated as “new” at every facility because their records are not linked or easily accessible. This leads to repeated tests, misdiagnoses, and unnecessary delays. But with Fayda, we can …
