Wellness Card
Every mother. Every child. Every visit — recorded, linked, and never lost.
Patient identity and maternal health management for Uganda's hospitals. A permanent, scannable identity that survives clinic transfers, links mother and infant for life, and puts a complete history on screen in seconds.
Sound familiar?
In Uganda's hospitals and clinics, a patient's entire medical history often exists on a piece of paper that can be lost, damaged, or simply unavailable at the moment it is needed most.
A mother's antenatal history disappears when she changes clinic
If a patient moves from a rural clinic to a referral hospital for delivery, her ANC records may never arrive. The receiving clinician treats her as a new case — and the risk to mother and baby rises sharply.
Mother and infant records are never linked — creating dangerous gaps
The same infant may be registered three times across three facilities, with no connection to the mother's records. Immunisation schedules are missed. The paper trail is broken at every transition.
Searching for a paper file in an emergency costs minutes patients don't have
When a nurse spends four minutes searching for previous visit notes in a stack of manila folders, that is four minutes not spent on care. In a maternal ward, that is not an acceptable trade-off.
Four functions. One system.
Patient Identity
Each card holds a unique patient ID, photo, and QR code — readable by any authorised scanner in any connected facility. No more duplicate registrations.
Mother-Infant Linkage
The mother's card is permanently linked to the infant's card at birth. Either can be scanned to pull up the full shared health history.
ANC Visit Tracking
All 8 antenatal contacts (ANC1–ANC8) are recorded against the patient's card. Missed visits trigger an alert.
Immunisation Schedule
The child's vaccination schedule is linked to the card from birth. Overdue immunisations are flagged automatically.

What your facility gains
Continuity of care
The record travels with the patient — from rural clinic to referral hospital.
Safer mothers and infants
Linked records and ANC alerts close the gaps where danger hides.
Minutes saved when they matter
