01 / The Continuity Challenge

Care doesn't happen in one place.

A mother's healthcare journey spans community visits, local dispensaries, sub-county maternity centers, and immunization clinics over two years. When paper registers stay in one building or internet cuts out, records disappear.

1
First Contact · Home / Community

Registration & Antenatal Intake

Pregnancy begins with a Community Health Volunteer (CHV) encounter or dispensary visit. Physical paper booklets are easily misplaced before labor.

2
Delivery · Referral Hospital

Hospital Delivery & Labor Ward

Delivery takes place at a referral facility miles away. Attending midwives often lack previous ANC vitals, blood pressure history, or blood group records.

3
24-Month Follow-Up · Local Dispensary

Immunization & Child Growth Milestones

Over the child's first 24 months, KEPI vaccinations and WHO weight checks require continuous monitoring. Without automated alerts, dropouts go undetected.

02 / Real Product Architecture

Care follows the mother — not the facility.

TotoAfya Digital maintains a single synchronized record across mother, nurse, and facility administrator portals. Workflows run seamlessly online or offline.

05 / Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TotoAfya handle low or no connectivity in rural dispensaries?

TotoAfya Digital utilizes an encrypted client-side storage engine (IndexedDB) that permits clinical nurses and CHVs to register patients, log vitals, record ANC parameters, and view KEPI schedules without active internet. When a network connection is detected, data synchronizes to cloud servers automatically.

How does TotoAfya align with the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019?

Patient records are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Access controls enforce strict role-based authorization (Mother, Nurse, Facility Lead, County Admin), ensuring health workers only access data for their authorized facility.

Can health facilities process payments via M-Pesa?

Yes. Facility subscriptions and caregiver plans support Safaricom Lipa na M-Pesa STK push transactions. Institutions can also request formal invoicing for local bank transfers or county check processing.

Does TotoAfya replace clinical diagnosis or medical officers?

No. TotoAfya Digital is a clinical workflow and supportive educational guidance engine. The 24/7 Health Companion is strictly non-diagnostic, providing educational information based on WHO protocols and directing mothers to their assigned health facility whenever red-flag symptoms arise.

How can county health departments initiate a pilot assessment?

County health directors and program leads can contact our partnerships team at partnerships@totoafya.co.ke or via our contact form to arrange a technical demonstration and hardware assessment.
