We agree on a problem worth solving together and on what a useful outcome would look like. The first step is a conversation, with no commitment beyond it.
A scoped pilot with written data-handling terms, clinician oversight where health is involved, and review points agreed up front.
Methods and results are shared openly where the work allows, including findings that do not go the way we hoped.
Pieces that hold up in the pilot move into production with monitoring, support and a roadmap both sides can see.
Choose the path that fits. Each one starts with the same form.
Co-design a study with our team, with agreed data-use terms and shared methods. Built for universities and research institutes.
Back our work with technology, credits or other support, and be listed among our sponsors.
Run a scoped pilot in your clinic or organization, with clinician oversight and written review points.
A sponsor provides technology, credits or other support to our work. Sponsors are listed as sponsors only. A listing describes that support and is not an endorsement of any product claim.
Research collaborators are universities and institutions we work with on specific studies. Together we define the question, agree data-use terms and share methods and findings. Each collaboration has its own written scope.
Submit the partnership form or email us. We will ask about your setting, the workflow you want to test and who will oversee it. Pilots start with a written scope and clinician oversight. Pawanax supports clinicians and families and does not replace a doctor; urgent symptoms are escalated to human care.
Data sharing is consent-first and governed by a written agreement. We use encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and audit trails, and we align with Kenya’s Data Protection Act 2019. Data is never sold.
