Flagship Clinical Platform

HEPAI: Hepatitis Comprehensive Care Solution

Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B & C) remains one of Africa’s most underdiagnosed and undertreated epidemics. HEPAI is an AI-powered clinical decision-support and care-management platform designed to manage the full cascade of viral hepatitis care across decentralized public health tiers.

1

Hub-and-Spoke Decentralization

Connects primary health center screening spokes with regional referral teaching hospital hubs for timely sample logistics, tele-consultation, and specialist sign-off.

2

Automated Biomarker Synthesis & Staging

Synthesizes HBsAg, HBV DNA viral load, ALT enzymes, and fibrosis scores (APRI and FIB-4) against WHO and Ethiopian national treatment guidelines to determine antiviral eligibility.

3

Closed-Loop Linkage & Household Tracing

Automates patient follow-up reminders in local languages, coordinates household contact screening, and tracks timely birth-dose Hepatitis B vaccination for newborns.

Clinical Impact

Decentralized Primary-to-Tertiary Linkage

Tested and refined in partnership with Ethiopian public hospitals to ensure frontline health officers make guideline-adherent antiviral treatment decisions with zero delay.

Community health outreach and patient engagement in Ethiopia
Telecommunications Bridge

Ethio Telecom IVR & SMS Integration

Direct integration with domestic carrier networks to reach chronic disease patients without requiring expensive smartphones or mobile internet data.

Predictive Adherence Engine

SmartCare Adhere-ET & TB-Guard

Treatment interruption is the primary driver of catastrophic drug resistance and mortality in chronic non-communicable diseases (hypertension, diabetes) and Tuberculosis. SmartCare Adhere-ET uses machine learning to identify patients at high risk of default before they miss critical clinical appointments.

✦ Predictive Default Risk Stratification

Continuously calculates risk trajectories using Medication Possession Ratio (MPR), pharmacy refill consistency, and historical revisit intervals to trigger proactive provider outreach.

✦ Multi-Channel Domestic Carrier Telecommunications

Dispatches automated voice response (IVR) phone calls in local languages, automated SMS text alerts, and low-bandwidth Telegram bot notifications to patients and family treatment supporters.

✦ Mitigating Multi-Drug Resistant TB (MDR-TB)

Built specifically to intercept defaults during the vulnerable continuation phase of tuberculosis therapy, directly preventing the emergence of costly, life-threatening MDR-TB strains.

Indigenous NLP Architecture

Conversational AI & Local Language Health Bots

Language barriers and stigma often prevent vulnerable young people and remote communities from accessing accurate healthcare information. EASE Africa designs and deploys private, offline-capable conversational AI assistants in 4 indigenous Ethiopian languages.
