January: Pioneering Digital Health Solutions

At the beginning of the year, IntelliSOFT earned its place among Africa's digital health leaders, receiving funding from PATH and Medic to expand our digital health solutions for community health. The Digital Health Ecosystem (DHE) project paved the way for further developments, including the enhancement of Mama's Hub—a Maternal Health Information System designed for low-resource healthcare facilities.

We kicked off the Digital Health Ecosystem (DHE) Program with smiles and candid shots, sharing our excitement as one of four Africa-based digital health entrepreneurs awarded through the DHE project.

February: Championing Technology in Cancer Care

We attended the Inaugural Cancer Summit in Kenya, which, among other things, was about championing the role of technology and innovation in cancer care. The event showcased the government's commitment to impactful digital solutions and featured insights from industry leaders on leveraging digital tools to improve cancer outcomes.
