Vision & Mission

Healthcare should not begin when a patient arrives at a hospital. It should begin long before that.

Vision

Operating system
for population health

Building the operating system for population health across Africa — helping governments, healthcare providers, insurers, and communities predict, prevent, and manage health risks before they become medical emergencies.

Mission

Connect every
link in the chain

First1000 builds a unified digital health layer connecting citizens, community health workers, facilities, and policymakers — so no mother or patient disappears between clinic visits.

02

How It Works

One platform, four connected layers — continuous health intelligence from the household to the Ministry of Health.

AI Health Companion

Accessible via WhatsApp, SMS, voice, and a mobile app. Automated appointment reminders, targeted health education, symptom monitoring, and triage.

AI Risk Engine

Quantifies risk and predicts high-risk pregnancies, maternal complications, child malnutrition, developmental delays, and NCD complications.

CHW Platform

An offline-first app for household management, home visit tracking, referral management, and risk prioritization.

Population Health Intelligence

Live dashboards giving governments and NGOs real-time intelligence for systemic resource allocation.

03

The Problem

African healthcare systems are historically reactive — they only see patients when they physically visit a facility. By then, preventable complications have often progressed too far.

Maternal & child health gaps

High-risk pregnancies identified too late. Frequent missed ANC appointments. Malnutrition and developmental delays caught only after permanent damage.

Non-communicable diseases

Hypertension and diabetes remain undiagnosed or inconsistently managed between clinic visits.

The clinical black box

Patients disappear between visits. Medication adherence is impossible to track. Data is fragmented and CHWs lack actionable tools.

04

Traction & Pilot Scope

Built for the field, validated for scale. Actively coordinating with local public health stakeholders, community networks, and NGOs across Eswatini.

Targeted Pilot Scope

750

Participants enrolled across the pilot — mothers, NCD patients, and the community health workers supporting them.

Cohort

500 mothers · 200 NCD patients · 50 CHWs

Goal

National-scale deployment across 2 Eswatini regions
