The Challenge & Bottlenecks

Cancer patients in remote counties experienced severe delays finding sub-specialist oncologists and obtaining second opinions on pathology biopsies, often traveling days to Nairobi just for initial consults.

The Architectural Solution

We engineered a HIPAA-aligned medical specialist directory and tele-consultation platform allowing patients to search doctors by oncology sub-specialty, upload diagnostic pathology scans securely, and schedule virtual second opinions with automated M-Pesa consultation fee clearing.
