Bridging Africa’s Healthcare Gap—One Practical Solution at a Time

In many parts of rural Africa, basic health knowledge is still out of reach. With less access to nearby clinics, less literacy, and people with no smartphones.

So where do people turn when someone in the family falls sick? Often—outdated word-of-mouth, home remedies, or simply nothing at all. And when a mother doesn’t know whether her child’s fever is serious or a pregnant woman isn’t sure what food she should be eating—this lack of access becomes a matter of life and death.

That’s the gap Blinkare is built to fill.

We're not chasing trends or trying to impress with flashy tech. We're focused on one thing: getting life-saving health information to the people who need it most—in a way they can actually use.

Built for Real People, Everywhere

Not everyone in Africa owns a smartphone. And honestly? That’s totally fine. Because Blinkare doesn’t require one.

We’ve built Blinkare to work on KaiOS-powered feature phones—affordable, internet-enabled devices like MTN Smart and JioPhone, used widely across African villages and rural towns. These phones may not have the sleek screens or powerful chips, but they’re in the hands of millions.

Whether you're

• An expecting mother in a rural village, needing pregnancy guidance but far from a clinic
• A parent keeping track of your child's growth, diet, and vaccination milestones
• A caregiver or family member living away from your loved ones, yet wanting to stay involved in their health

Blinkare keeps you in control. With local language support and simple menus, it brings modern healthcare into everyday homes. No hospital required. No literacy required.

Women’s Health Comes First

In many African regions, women often bear the health burden—during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. But very few have access to professional guidance during those critical months.

Blinkare’s focused features are built for that very purpose:

• Pregnancy tracking
• Nutrition tips in local language
• Antenatal alerts in local language

These aren’t just features—they’re lifelines. Blinkare empowers women to make safe, timely choices during pregnancy, even without access to clinics or medical staff.

Women no longer have to guess what's safe or wait till it's too late to ask for help. Everything they need—advice, checklists, encouragement—is available in a way they understand and trust. No need to read. No hospital line-ups. Just solid, scientific health advice—right in your hand.

Women feel more confident, less isolated, and better equipped to care for themselves and their babies.

Caring for Kids & the Elderly? We’ve Got You.

Families come in all shapes. In Africa, it’s common for children to live with grandparents while parents work elsewhere. That’s why Blinkare doesn’t just stop at women’s health.

It’s a family health app, designed to look after:

• Monitoring your child’s growth
• Vaccination schedules with reminders
• Nutritional tracking for kids and elderly
• Health alerts and tips for elder care

For example, you live in the city. Your elderly parents are back home. Through Blinkare, you can manage their health profile remotely—get alerts, send reminders, and ensure they’re getting the care they need.

These tools don’t just remind—they protect. Blinkare ensures timely vaccinations, detects issues early through child growth monitoring, and helps elders stick to simple, effective routines.

Healthier children, supported elders, and peace of mind for families—especially those separated by distance.

Meet Thibaut—Your Everyday Health Companion

Blinkare comes with an intelligent health chatbot named Thibaut, designed to give users immediate, reliable answers to everyday health questions—without needing to visit a clinic.

Whether you're unsure about a symptom, need a health tip, or simply want to stay on track with your wellness routine, Thibaut is always ready to help.

Here’s what Thibaut does best:

• Instant Health Support: Provides quick answers to health-related queries anytime, anywhere.
• Daily Engagement: Shares health tips and encourages regular check-ins to keep users actively involved in their wellness.
• Reminders & Routines: Sends gentle nudges and personalized suggestions to help users stick to healthy habits.
• Support for Remote Areas: Especially valuable for users who may not have easy access to doctors or clinics.
• Empowering Self-Care: Equips users with the right information to make smarter health decisions independently.

As Blinkare grows, specialized bots for different health conditions will also be introduced—so support becomes even more accurate, personal, and helpful.

Multi-Language. Multi-Literacy. One Goal: Better Health.

Not everyone is literate. Not everyone can read English or French. So Blinkare adapts. During onboarding, users can select their literacy level and preferred language. The entire app then transforms—so no one is left out, no matter their background.

Healthcare shouldn't feel complicated or intimidating. Blinkare makes it simple, spoken, and supportive.

By adapting to local languages and literacy levels, Blinkare ensures people from every walk of life can access meaningful care.

Even those who’ve never used a health app before feel included, capable, and supported.

Track, Learn, Act—With These Features:

Blinkare is packed with tools designed for real-world health monitoring:

• BMI Calculator—Know your body status from your height and weight
• Daily Vitals Tracker—Monitor heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature
• Sleep Tracker—Understand your sleep quality and habits
• Diet & Activity Log—Input what you eat, drink, and how active you are—and get tailored tips in return

This isn’t about overloading users with data—it’s about helping people take small, meaningful steps toward better health.

Every entry—whether it’s sleep, diet, or vitals—leads to smarter suggestions and early health insights. Daily habits improve. Issues get spotted earlier. Users start building healthier lifestyles with guidance they trust.

No App Overload. Just Blinkare.

Health apps today can be overwhelming—one for fitness, one for food, another for pregnancy, and yet another for your parents.

Blinkare is one simple app that brings it all together:

• Women’s health
• Child tracking
• Elder care
• Diet, sleep, and vitals
• Local disease awareness (like malaria tips)

You don’t need five apps to stay healthy. You just need one that actually works for your lifestyle.

Blinkare simplifies health tracking into one intuitive experience. It reduces decision fatigue and increases app usage among people who would otherwise give up or forget.

Better consistency. Less confusion. More families are actively managing their health every day.

Blinkare isn’t just a health app. It’s a lifeline—and here’s what users gain from it every day:

• Health awareness in regions where myths and misinformation are common
• Safer pregnancies with timely, local-language guidance
• Healthier children, thanks to vaccination alerts and nutrition tracking
• Better elder care through reminders and remote support
• Remote family management, no matter where you live
• Easy-to-use health support, even without literacy or smartphones

This Is Health, Reimagined for Africa

Where others think basic phones aren’t powerful. But we see them as a way to help millions of people who’ve been left out.

Where others stop at cities, we go deep into villages. Where others exclude, we include—every age, every literacy level, every language.

Blinkare isn’t just an app. It’s a movement—bringing healthcare to every pocket, every home, and every heartbeat across Africa.

Because everyone deserves the right to understand, track, and protect their health—no matter where they are.
