How Phulukisa Health Solutions Uses Technology To Provide Better Healthcare. Phulukisa Health Solutions consists of a group of professionals with a strong desire to transform healthcare using cloud enabled e-health solutions. Phulukisa Health Solutions has developed a cloud-based program that captures patients’ biometric information and triages them automatically. The company’s intelligent programming takes common measurements and combines the results to deliver a computed risk-analysis of the most common diseases out there. The result is better, more cost-effective healthcare that provides analytics around efficiencies and productivity, and keeps customers engaged with improving their own health scores through curated advice.
Phulukisa Health Solutions uses technology that can be operated by community health workers or nurses to screen patients for the most serious and most prevalent serious health conditions, using codified standard treatment guidelines as well as machine learning on large sets of patient data. The company has connected a number of hardware devices (including a spirometer, blood pressure cuff, urine and blood analyser) to a processor to collect and upload readings to the Microsoft Azure cloud where it is analysed.
Almost all readings are taken fully electronically. The platform allows for the rapid and inexpensive screening of patients at primary health care facilities, thereby improving information flow and patient care. It also enables the far more efficient use of physician resources at these facilities and the integration of screening results into existing electronic patient files. Phulukisa has developed disease modules that can be deployed simultaneously or as needed.
The word phulukisa means heal in the Zulu language of Southern Africa. Phulukisa Health Solutions was established to provide a cost-effective and efficient tool to assist in the provision of primary health care. Phulukisa Health Solutions was Microsoft’s Emerging Partner of the Year in 2019.
