Virtual Hospitals Africa

Virtual Hospitals Africa imagines a world where no one is too remote to receive care. We are creating an easy-to-use cloud platform connecting rural health facilities with a global medical network to better serve patients in sub-Saharan Africa.

Nurses and medical staff at remote clinics will be equipped with electronic devices, satellite internet, and diagnostic devices in order to collect patient demographic, vital, and diagnostic information through the Virtual Hospitals Africa platform. The web application makes it easy for health workers to follow the latest medical protocols: recommending specific examinations, tests, and medications depending on the patient’s profile, symptoms, and conditions. For high-risk cases, or when patients are not responding to treatment, nurses can request asynchronous reviews and schedule video appointments with remote doctors as well as make referrals to local specialists and laboratories for testing.
