Clinical intelligence that works where care actually happens.

WhatsApp-native. 50+ African languages. Clinician-in-the-loop. Settlement built in.

In one paragraph

Summary

Pawanax is a clinical intelligence platform. It takes a message, voice note or photo on WhatsApp in any of 50+ African languages, understands intent and context, triages urgency with emergencies escalated to human care immediately, grounds its answers in clinical guidelines with citations, and a clinician reviews, edits and signs every clinical plan before it is acted on. It is model-agnostic: several foundation models and proprietary components are evaluated and orchestrated per task on measured quality, safety and cost, so the platform improves as the frontier improves. Pawanax supports clinicians and families; it does not replace a doctor.

01 — The pipeline

How a message becomes care.

Six stages, from the first WhatsApp message to a completed action. One human checkpoint sits before anything clinical moves. Select a stage to see what it does.

  1. STAGE 01

    Message

    Any channel, any language

    A parent, patient or nurse writes, sends a voice note, or shares a photo on WhatsApp. Input is captured in any of 50+ African languages and dialects, with no app to install, and it is built to stay usable on slow connections.

    GuaranteeWorks on a basic phone. Nothing to install.

  • Stablecoin Remittance Rails

    Live

    USDC, USDT and EURC money movement for clinical settlement and WhatsApp remittance.

  • Epicenter Surveillance

    Live

    Early disease-pattern signals for networks and public-health partners, without exposing patient data.

  • LIMS

    Pilot

    Lab results flow into clinical context as structured data, not siloed PDFs.

  • Pharmacy System

    Pilot

    Medication management and interaction-aware support across the care journey.

  • African Language Intelligence

    Live

    Clinical conversation across 50+ African languages, with cultural context and patient-safe phrasing.

    Roadmap

    Hardware and offline-tolerant delivery for clinics on unreliable connections, with SMS fallback.

Clinician workflow · Doctor's Assistant

Clinical work stays in the clinician's hands.

Doctor's Assistant helps organize clinical inputs and prepare reviewable drafts. A clinician checks the original material, corrects the draft, and decides what to record or do next.

Open Doctor's Assistant
  1. Step 01

    Bring the material together

    Work with an image, a voice note, or a local document such as a clinic protocol.

  2. Step 02

    Prepare a draft to inspect

    Organize observations into a note, or surface a passage from the supplied document with its source location.

  3. Step 03

    Review, edit, and decide

    The clinician checks the original image or source, adds clinical judgment, and chooses whether to save or act on the work.

Drafts and examples support clinician review; they are not a diagnosis or a substitute for examining the patient and source material.

04 — Supported care flows

Fifteen journeys. One accountable system.

Every journey Pawanax supports, described by what it does for people and what it guarantees. Select a group to see its flows.

  1. Every flow is consented
  2. Every clinical output is reviewable
  3. Every emergency reaches a person
  • Emergency escalation

    Guarantee

    Urgent cases bypass automation and reach people.

  • Women's health & endometriosis

    Guarantee

    Supports referral conversations; never a diagnosis on its own.

  • Mental health check-ins

    Guarantee

    Crisis signals are escalated to people; it complements, never replaces, a therapist.

05 — Architecture

Model-agnostic by design.

Pawanax works with several foundation models alongside its own proprietary components, so the platform improves as the frontier improves.

  • 01No single supplier is a point of failure: care continues if any one provider has an outage.
  • 02The platform improves as the frontier improves, without rebuilding the product around each new release.
  • 03Specific models and architecture are not disclosed, to protect our IP and our users.

06 — Safety and evaluation

Built to be checked.

Pawanax supports clinicians and families. It does not replace a doctor. Urgent symptoms are escalated to human care.

  • Clinician-in-the-loop

    A clinician reviews and signs every clinical plan. Pawanax supports clinicians; it does not replace them.

  • Emergency escalation

    Danger signs bypass automation and reach a human care team immediately.

  • Evidence citations

    Clinical statements carry their sources, so they can be checked against the guideline they cite.

  • Red-team & regression evals

    Adversarial test sets and regression suites run before release. A release that fails the safety suite does not ship.

  • Audit trails

    Triage decisions, clinician edits and actions are logged with who did what, and when.

  • Consent-first data handling

    Data is collected for a stated purpose with consent recorded, and it is never sold.

Security by design

  • Encryption in transit & at rest
  • Role-based access
  • Audit trails
  • Aligned with Kenya Data Protection Act 2019
  • Data never sold

07 — Constraints

Built for Africa's constraints.

Phones, bandwidth, languages and money move differently here. The platform is designed around those realities first.

  • WhatsApp-first

    Zero install. It runs in the chat people already use.

  • Low bandwidth

    Text-first replies, voice-note input and SMS fallback keep it usable on slow networks.

  • M-Pesa & stablecoin settlement

    3.5% all-in (2.0% platform + 1.5% opt-in health kitty) against a ~8.46% legacy Sub-Saharan Africa average (World Bank RPW, Q3 2025).

  • 50+ languages

    African languages and dialects, with cultural context in care conversations.

10 — FAQ

Questions engineers and regulators ask.

Which AI models do you use?

Pawanax is model-agnostic. We evaluate and orchestrate several foundation models plus proprietary components, and route each task on measured quality, safety and cost. Specific models and architecture are not disclosed, to protect our IP and our users.

Is my data used to train public models?

No. Patient and user data is not used to train public models, and data is never sold.

Does Pawanax replace a doctor?

No. Pawanax supports clinicians and families. Clinicians review and sign clinical plans, and urgent symptoms are escalated to human care.

How are emergencies handled?

Danger signs and emergency patterns bypass automated flows and are escalated to a human care team immediately. If someone is in danger, go to the nearest emergency facility now.

How is data secured?

Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit trails, and consent-first handling aligned with Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019.

Can we connect our EMR, LIMS or claims system?

Integrations run through our API and are scoped per deployment. Talk to an engineer and we will confirm your stack and requirements.
