From “is this serious?” to the right care

HowBody carries a person the whole way, and keeps working when the network does not.

01

Symptom check that works offline

Tell HowBody where it hurts and get a clear answer based on WHO danger signs. It tells you plainly whether to rest at home, see a clinic, or go straight to emergency. No internet needed.

02

AI health assistant

Ask any health question and get calm, simple guidance in your own language, at any hour.

03

Book an appointment

Reserve a real time slot to visit or run a test at a verified hospital. The provider confirms it, and you both keep track.

04

Consult online

Speak to a verified doctor, nurse or midwife by chat or call, without travelling. They get paid for their time.

05

Clinics near you

Find and reach the nearest hospitals and clinics. They are saved for offline, so it still works with no signal.

06

Blood donor network

Register as a donor or raise an urgent request. Requests are matched to willing donors nearby by blood type and distance.

07

Fake medicine scanner

Check a medicine before you take it and help expose fakes, a problem that costs lives across the continent.

08

Care across borders

Consult verified hospitals and professionals in other countries, not just your own, and reach the right specialist wherever they are.

09

Community support for care

Post a medical need to raise financial support and get matched to a verified doctor who can handle the condition.

10

Adapts to your country

On install it detects where you are and sets your language automatically, with many supported, plus the correct emergency numbers and local health information.

Triage, care, clinics, consultations and trusted medicine, carried with you, and still working when the network does not.

Our vision

A continent where no one is left guessing about their health. Where a mother in a village with no signal can still know whether her child needs a clinic tonight. Where every genuine doctor can be found, trusted and paid, and every fake medicine is caught before it does harm. HowBody exists to make good health the default, not the privilege.

Support the vision

HowBody is built for people who are too often overlooked by technology. Your support keeps the core free for those who need it most, funds verification of real providers, and brings life-saving tools to more languages and more countries. Every contribution moves care closer to someone who needs it.
