Tabiri Health is a for-profit Healthcare Technology Company that leverages on technology to design and develop low-cost, highly sensitive wearables which will be used in the monitoring of respiratory functions of neonates admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Positive Impact.
According to WHO, every year, nearly 40% of all under-5 mortalities are among newborns, especially preterms. Further, of all these neonatal deaths, approximately 44% are attributable to respiratory diseases, primarily Pneumonia and Neonatal Respiratory Distress. Low-and-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), including Kenya, account for 99% of these neonatal deaths. Notably, it has been shown that timely diagnosis and focused management of patients can prevent up to two-thirds of these neonatal deaths.
Our Solution - “Mwana”, is a wearable, non-invasive and wireless respiratory monitor that will consist of two units, a chest and a limb unit. The Tabiri Health Platform will use machine learning models to analyze data collected from both units, (together with input clinical history) to predict the probability of the wearer developing respiratory complications, including respiratory failure. The interpretations of the inputs from the vest and the limb unit will then be sent to clinicians for determination of the best treatment modality
