About Us

We have a passion to increase access to quality and affordable primary health care for the people of South Africa.

Primary health care is the first-contact care that is comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous. In these changing times, most of these attributes of good primary care have come under pressure. Research shows that access to primary care is associated with positive health outcomes.

Many people face barriers that decrease access to services and increase the risk of poor health outcomes. Obstacles include lack of health insurance, language-related barriers, inability to take time off work to attend appointments, transportation-related barriers and a shortage of primary care providers.

To improve efficiencies in the health care environment, the next step will be to intervene where the delivery of services takes place. Change management in GP practices and nurse clinics is extremely difficult and costly.

The current state of information technology and medical devices is considered fundamental to improve the quality of health care. Smart technology can streamline health screening and examinations, claims processing, cut costs by a large margin and significantly improve turnaround times. The technology can automate data collection and communication processes, resulting in lower healthcare costs as well as a better customer experience.

Initiating and developing a sustained partnership with patients can start with a simple interaction using technology and medical devices to provide a service for self-testing health monitoring, assisted by a non-physician provider like a care assistant, phlebotomist or nurse. It can lead to:

• Early detection and treatment of disease,
• Chronic disease management,
• preventive care like flu shots, blood pressure, glucose and cancer screenings, and
• appropriate referrals.

Our Solution

E Nurse is establishing independent engagement points with patients, facilitated by smart technology and non-physician providers. This forms the backbone of a primary care patient network, linked to care. The challenge is to engage the patient in an easy, safe and effective way and facilitate clinical measurements and call to actions. The eNurse assisted self-testing health monitoring kiosks are designed to achieve just that!
