MEDTRAC™ is initially being prepared for African deployment, where limited connectivity, workforce shortages and distance from healthcare facilities make offline and community-based delivery especially important. The same architecture is intended for underserved communities worldwide. Today, MEDTRAC™ brings together digital questionnaires, low-cost testing, local technology, artificial intelligence and practitioner support:
Designed for real-world operating conditions
- Online and offline — keep screening and triage moving when connectivity is limited or intermittent
- Mobile, cloud and local hubs — runs on phones, in the cloud, and locally on NETLITE™ Community Internet Hubs and kiosks
- Local health workers — supports community teams delivering intake, screening and referral in the field
- Remote and diaspora professionals — extends specialist review and telemedicine support into underserved areas
- Holistic, traditional and allopathic settings — works across care traditions, with multimodal screening and structured health data for research, validation and planning
Capability status
Partners should distinguish what is available today from what is in active development, pilot preparation or post-funding scope.
- Available capability — clinic-tested questionnaires, practitioner-led workflows and Malta proving-ground experience
- Current development — Questionnaire Version 4, Digital Health Appliance and Africa-ready hub integration
- African pilot target — community and ministry-backed pilots planned from 2027, subject to funding and country readiness
- Post-funding development — expanded diagnostics, hub Version 2, training packs and multi-country rollout tooling

Explore the MEDTRAC™ pilot programme
Three staged pilot options test community-based digital health delivery across different levels of connectivity, infrastructure and geographic scale. NETLITE™ and AQUAPOWER are included only where required.
- Pilot 1 — EUR 100K: three locations in one country, existing infrastructure
- Pilot 2 — EUR 250K: ten locations across two countries, including three NETLITE™ / AQUAPOWER sites
- Pilot 3 — EUR 495K: twenty-five locations across three countries, approximately eight infrastructure-enabled sites

The need
Africa needs a new model of community-based digital health. Across Africa, healthcare access is constrained by shortages of medical staff, limited infrastructure, unreliable connectivity, high private-care costs and fragmented information. MEDTRAC™ is being developed to support earlier access, prevention, triage and coordinated care closer to the communities where people live.
Access and capacity
- Projected shortage of up to 1 million medical staff in Africa
- Insufficient clinics, hospitals and diagnostic facilities
- Long waiting lists and delayed intervention
- Rural communities located far from healthcare facilities
- Shortage of laboratories and affordable testing
- Private healthcare access limited by ability to pay
- Limited access to mental-health support
Infrastructure constraints
- Limited internet and mobile coverage in many rural areas
- Slow or unreliable connectivity restricts telemedicine
- Community healthcare technology must continue operating during intermittent outages
- Many communities require local digital services rather than cloud-only systems
Fragmented healthcare systems
- Western pharmaceutical healthcare models do not scale effectively across Africa
- Healthcare remains predominantly sickness-focused rather than prevention-focused
- Holistic medicine is not integrated into wider health platforms
- Traditional African Medicine is often separated from formal healthcare structures
- Healthcare professionals work in disconnected silos
- Limited collaboration, continuity and data-sharing between providers
- Patient information is often fragmented across clinics, practitioners and systems
Advantages of the model
MEDTRAC™ combines community access, offline-first technology and practitioner-led decision support in one operating model. It is designed to work where staff are scarce, connectivity is intermittent and care must reach people before conditions become acute — while giving professionals structured tools and ministries usable population health intelligence.
For communities
- Earlier access to screening and triage closer to where people live
- Free or subsidised community pathways sustained by a mixed funding model
- Care that continues when internet or power is unreliable
- Health education, prevention and lifestyle support alongside screening
- Continuity of records and follow-up instead of one-off clinic visits
For practitioners and health workers
- Structured intake, triage and review queues that reduce administrative load
- Clinical decision support that assists professionals — it does not replace them
- Remote and diaspora specialist support into underserved areas
- Clear separation between screening signals, observations and confirmed findings
- Training and supervision pathways for community health workers and local operators
For partners and ministries
- Offline-first infrastructure suited to African operating conditions
- NETLITE™ hubs that share connectivity efficiently across a community
- Anonymised population health insight for planning and resource allocation
- Local ownership and government-controlled use of population health data
- A scalable model proven through clinical practice at Atlantis Clinic
What sets the model apart
- Real-world design: mobile, hub, kiosk and clinic delivery in one system
- Multimodal screening — questionnaires, sensors, imaging and clinical reports
- Integration across holistic, traditional and allopathic care settings
- Rapid country-specific programme adaptation
- Sustainable funding through business, premium services and public-private partnerships
How MEDTRAC™ is delivered
MEDTRAC™ reaches communities through hubs, clinics, mobile teams, kiosks and remote telemedicine — supporting professionals, not replacing them. MEDTRAC™ can operate through existing clinics and infrastructure; NETLITE™ and AQUAPOWER are added where connectivity or field infrastructure need extra support. Together they create an adaptable digital health operating model that can function locally, connect remotely when possible, support health professionals and provide ministries with structured, anonymised health intelligence.
