Our Story

Healthcare should come to you,
not the other way around

Clara started with a simple frustration: why is managing your health so hard? Booking a doctor should take seconds, not days. Your records should follow you, not be lost in a pile of paper. Your AI should warn you before things get serious.

Our Mission

To make quality, proactive healthcare accessible to every African — regardless of geography, income, or health literacy — through intelligent technology and a trusted network of verified providers.

The problem we're solving

Africa has one doctor for every 5,000 people. Most Africans get their first medical advice from a pharmacist, a family member, or Google. When people do see a doctor, their records are scattered across hospitals — or don't exist at all.

Chronic conditions go unmanaged. Prescriptions are lost. Appointments are missed. Preventable diseases become emergencies.

Clara is building the infrastructure layer that Africa's healthcare system is missing: a patient-owned, AI-powered health record and care coordination platform.
