Helfie AI ("Helfie"), an AI-powered preventive network transforming global healthcare, announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kenya's Homa Bay County Ministry of Health to pilot a population-scale health screening and monitoring program.
The pilot will target 100,000 of the county's most vulnerable people across five sub-counties of Homa Bay, supporting early screening and monitoring for tuberculosis (TB) and hypertension. The program will run entirely on the user's mobile device and reflects almost nine months of on-the-ground planning and collaboration between Helfie, Homa Bay's Ministry of Health and the county's population health team.
