The answer is in your patients' records. All of them.
Kora synthesizes fragmented patient data from multiple EMRs, paper records, and digital sources into decision-ready clinical intelligence that works offline, digitizes paper, and scales from a single clinic to a national population. Built for Africa.
The Problem
Africa doesn't have a data shortage. It has a clarity crisis.
African health systems generate enormous clinical data, but 80% is locked in paper records, siloed EMRs, and low-connectivity environments where data can't move, be read, or be trusted.
Clinicians spend hours hunting fragmented records. Population insights are invisible. Paper never becomes digital. Critical decisions get made with incomplete information.
The Solution
The Kora Clinical Intelligence Engine
Kora retrieves, synthesizes, and structures patient data from every source (EMRs, paper records, scanned documents, and voice) into decision-ready clinical intelligence, delivered in minutes, working offline, and scaling from one patient to a whole population.
One Unified Record
Many EMRs. One complete patient story.
Patients move between clinics, hospitals, labs, and pharmacies, each running its own EMR, each holding only a fragment. Kora connects to the systems already in place and centralizes those fragments into a single longitudinal record, so every clinician sees the whole patient instead of a piece of them.
Continuity of Care
The full history follows the patient across every facility and system, no starting from zero at each new visit or referral.
Patient Safety
A complete view of medications, allergies, and prior diagnoses helps close the gaps that lead to dangerous interactions and avoidable errors.
Less Redundancy
When prior results are already on hand, clinicians can avoid repeat labs, duplicate imaging, and re-taken histories.
Greater Efficiency
Less time hunting for scattered records means more time with patients, and less wasted cost and effort across the system.

How Kora works, in three real moments.
Swipe, or use the arrows, to explore →
Universal Data Synthesis
Built to connect to leading EMR and health information systems. Ingests paper records, scanned documents, voice notes, and lab results from any source, simultaneously.
Offline-First Architecture
Edge AI inference runs entirely on-device. No internet required for clinical intelligence. Automatically syncs across facilities when connectivity is restored.
Population Health Engine
Real-time disease surveillance across districts. Track vaccination coverage, detect outbreaks early, monitor chronic disease burden, and auto-report to WHO and national health authorities.
Digitization Intelligence
Convert paper records, handwritten notes, and legacy files into structured clinical data using OCR and AI. Supports 15+ languages and local handwriting styles.
Clinical Decision Support
AI models trained on African patient populations (malaria, sickle cell, TB, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, and maternal health) surface relevant decision aids at the point of care.
Evidence-Grade Outputs
Every extracted data point links back to its source document and page. Audit trails, source verification, and confidence scoring built in from day one.
Who We Serve
Built for every layer of the health system.
National health intelligence, without the infrastructure overhaul.
Ministries of Health, public health agencies, NGOs, and international health organizations use Kora to see the entire health system in real time (disease burden, service coverage, and population outcomes) without requiring uniform EMR adoption across every facility. Kora unifies paper-based and digital facilities into a single, policy-ready evidence base for national and sub-national decision-making.
- ✓National & sub-national dashboards: disease burden, coverage, and outcomes by state, LGA, and district
- ✓Real-time disease surveillance, outbreak early-warning, and notifiable-disease reporting
- ✓Automated WHO, IDSR, and donor (PEPFAR, Global Fund, Gavi) reporting, no manual aggregation
- ✓Evidence for resource allocation: target funding, staffing, and supplies to the highest-need regions
- ✓Program monitoring & evaluation, impact measurement, and grant/compliance reporting
- ✓Works with paper-based and digital facilities simultaneously, no facility left invisible
- ✓Data sovereignty: de-identified aggregation hosted in-country, aligned to national data-protection law
Population Health
From individual records to national health intelligence.
Kora's Population Health Engine aggregates de-identified clinical records into real-time district and national dashboards, turning individual patient encounters into system-wide intelligence that drives policy and saves lives.
Kora gives government decision-makers a single, real-time evidence base across every facility, even where most still run on paper, so policy, budgets, and emergency response are driven by current data, not last year's survey.
Offline-First Architecture
Built for Africa's realities. Works at 0% connectivity.
60% of African clinics operate in low or no-connectivity environments. Kora's AI runs entirely on-device via edge inference, no internet required for clinical intelligence, patient records, or decision support.
Data Synthesis
Written. Digital. Spoken. We take it all.
Kora doesn't require data to already be digital. We meet health systems where they are, and bring everything into a unified, structured clinical record.
Handwritten Notes
OCR and AI extract clinical data from handwritten patient notes in 15+ languages, including local scripts.
Paper Records
Scan and digitize patient folders, lab slips, prescription history, referral letters, and ward notes.
Multiple EMRs
Designed to connect multiple EMR and health information systems simultaneously with zero duplication.
Lab & Diagnostic Data
Ingest PDF lab results, DICOM imaging, instrument printouts, and rapid test records from any facility.
How It Works
From fragmented data to decision-ready intelligence in three steps.
Ingest
Connect your existing EMRs, scan paper records, and upload data in any format, structured or unstructured, digital or handwritten, lab printouts or voice notes.
Synthesize
Kora's engine normalizes, deduplicates, and structures all data into a unified patient record. AI extracts clinical concepts and links every data point back to its source.
Deliver
Clinicians get decision-ready summaries. Population health teams get real-time dashboards. Ministries get automated WHO and national health reports, all with full audit trails.
Infrastructure
Built for African Infrastructure Reality
Kora works in the real Africa, where internet goes down, where clinics run on generators, where data can't be lost because it's the difference between life and death.
Connectivity
We plan to partner with mobile network providers to make affordable, reliable data available to healthcare clinics.
Power & Energy
We plan to work with solar and off-grid energy providers to help keep clinics powered.
Satellite Backup
We plan to explore satellite providers for redundant connectivity when primary internet fails.
Government Alignment
We intend to engage health ministries across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana to align Kora with national digital health infrastructure.

Privacy & Data Protection
Health data is sacred. We protect it by design.
Patient information is among the most sensitive data that exists. Privacy and security are built into Kora from the ground up, not bolted on afterward.
Encrypted end to end
Data is encrypted in transit using modern TLS and encrypted at rest, so records stay protected both on the network and on disk.
In-country data residency
Kora is built to store and process clinical data inside the country it comes from, in line with national health-data and data-protection laws.
Private by staying local
Because Kora's AI runs on-device or on a facility server, sensitive data often never has to leave the clinic to deliver clinical intelligence.
Least-privilege access
Role-based access controls and audit logging mean people and systems see only the data they need, and every access is recorded.
De-identified by default
Population-health analytics run on de-identified, aggregated data wherever individual-level records aren't required.
Built for African data law
Our practices are designed to align with data-protection laws in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and other markets, under agreements with the partners whose data we handle.
