We listen first.

We talk to physicians, parents, community healthcare workers, large NGOs, rural clinics, and governments. Across geographies and healthcare systems, we continue to see workforce constraints that hinder the ability to provide quality access to healthcare for everyone, anywhere in the world.

We built our first product to solve that problem.

MEDSINC Features:

- Enables integrated clinical assessment across illness categories

- Simple, intuitive user interface

- Supported by simple AI governed by evidence-based medicine

- Functional on any web-enabled mobile device; OS agnostic

- Continuous training embedded throughout the platform

- Captures real-time public health and geo-location data
