Health app

Peace I.

Peace is about to complete her Master of Science in Global Health Delivery. However, her passion for social change was sparked while working as a nutritionist at World Vision. In this role, she was confronted with the dramatic impact of non-communicable diseases on people and communities. These experiences motivated her to take action and make a difference.

Together with her co-founder Stephen, Peace has created an innovative company that has developed an app to revolutionize healthcare in Rwanda. The app serves as a catalyst for change, providing incentive-based health programs and enabling remote diagnostics to help individuals and businesses prevent cardiovascular disease and other metabolic risk factors.

Project description

Based on their personal experiences, Peace and Stephen want to create a platform that not only facilitates access to diagnoses, but also promotes a healthy lifestyle through targeted behavioral changes. The app's services are aimed at people who see their health as a priority and want to protect themselves from illness, as well as companies that want to promote a culture of health among their employees.

Together with a team of 3 other dedicated employees, Peace and Stephen have continuously improved the app. Through partnerships with various health stakeholders, including health centers, dietitians and gyms, they have expanded the app's reach. Both are looking forward to gaining skills in financial management and building robust operating systems through the BPN program. Their goal is to create a solid customer base and a sustainable revenue stream that is not dependent on external funding. In this way, they aim to make their business more efficient and sustainable.
