Audere's HealthPulse solutions are currently leveraged in eight countries in Africa to support a growing set of conditions including malaria, HIV and COVID-19. The solution is available via a mobile app or through an integration toolkit for use by third party solution providers. It couples advanced machine learning and computer vision with accessible digital use guides to support novel diagnostic and treatment solutions while automatically digitizing data for surveillance, program reporting and workflow automation.

Audere Africa will expand that footprint across the continent to aid in the development and implementation of HealthPulse for use cases such as disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness; expanding access to care through self-care solutions; cost effective scaling of incentive programs; and empowering health workers with effective training and job aids.

The formation of Audere Africa marks an important milestone for global digital health development as it brings together artificial intelligence research with deep expertise in African healthcare needs to advance health equity in underserved communities worldwide.
