Welcome

We’re a nonprofit, fully volunteer group assembled to help governments tackle the Covid-19 pandemic using technology accessible to everyone, with or without a smartphone or internet access.

To ensure every person has convenient, free access to report potential Covid-19 symptoms for themselves and their loved ones across and to ensure anyone with symptoms or potential contact feels supported.

 

USSD Platform

We have developed a USSD platform for the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to improve Covid-19 symptom reporting. Through our solution, users dial *258*258# for free from any mobile phone in Nigeria and report their symptoms based on the menu provided.

​

Our solution makes it easy for people to report symptoms where there is no internet, without smartphones. And it's free.

Automated Triage & Follow-up

We provide and manage, working with federal and state agencies, an automated triage and follow-up platform using SMS, Whatsapp and programmable voice.

​

We have also developed the Ekiti Covid-19 Information Platform, following up daily on users self-reporting symptoms and providing support and guidance.

COVID-19 Contact Tracing

We are offering to support federal and state agencies on Contact Tracing programs, to encourage people with potential exposure to self-isolate.
