Health Guardian

Access, Support And Everything Health

Comment

Inspiration

Public primary healthcare is an issue faced by many South African's who live in underprivileged communities that is caused by inefficient health service delivery and inequality to access. There is a greater problem in the same communities when those who are in need of these services are unable to get access due to various constraints which may include: disability, lack of transport, maternity, etc. The issue aligns with the third sustainable development goal: Good Health and Well-being. To realise this goal, Health Guardian is an all-in-one health monitoring solution used to help those in underprivileged communities that lack support with monitoring their health and getting access to medical services. Health Guardian is an application that offers Mental Health and Disease Management support to South Africans across all ages, with various health needs.
