What HowBody does

One app for your whole health journey

From the first “is this serious?” to booking care, consulting a professional, finding blood and buying genuine medicine. Here is everything HowBody does, for people and for the professionals who care for them.

For everyone

Care in your pocket

Offline symptom checker

Works offline

Answer a few guided questions and HowBody grades the danger using World Health Organization danger-sign criteria, then tells you plainly whether to rest at home, see a clinic soon, or treat it as an emergency. It runs entirely on the phone, so it works with no signal and no airtime.


AI health assistant

A private assistant answers everyday health questions in your own language, day or night. It gives calm, practical guidance, always reminds you it is not a diagnosis, and points you to real care when something sounds serious. If your words signal an emergency, it surfaces your country’s emergency number instantly.


Medicine verification

Counterfeit and substandard medicine is a quiet killer, and you cannot tell by looking. Scan a pack’s code or type it in, and HowBody returns a clear verdict, plus the checks you can make yourself, so you buy and take medicine with confidence.


Verified provider directory

Every professional and facility is checked with real documents before it appears. Search by name or city, see genuine ratings and reviews, and open a full profile with services, hours and languages. No paid placement.


Clinics near you, on a map

Works offline

A familiar map shows the hospitals and clinics around you with directions. Facilities are saved to your device, so the map still helps when you have no signal.


Appointment booking

Pick an open time to visit or run a test at a verified facility. The provider confirms, reschedules or completes it, and local reminders nudge you before the appointment so nothing is missed.


Online consultations

Consult a verified doctor, nurse or midwife by chat or call without travelling. You see the fee before you start, and the professional is paid for their time.


Care across borders

Health does not stop at a border. Book with or consult verified hospitals and medical professionals in other countries, so you can reach the right specialist even when they are not in yours.


Post a health need for support

Share a medical condition to do two things at once: reach people who can help support the cost of care, and get matched to a verified doctor who handles that condition. A lonely, expensive search becomes a community behind you and a clear next step.


Trusted health feed

A feed of guidance in text, image and short video, carrying only verified voices, official bodies like the World Health Organization and health ministries, plus providers HowBody has checked. Follow the ones you trust.


Direct provider messaging

Care becomes a relationship, not a one-off. Message a provider directly to ask a follow-up, share an update, or arrange the next step.


Blood donor network

When blood is needed urgently, a request is matched to willing, compatible donors nearby, sorted by distance, instead of being left to luck. A built-in compatibility chart shows exactly who can give to and receive from whom.


Health marketplace

Browse and buy real health products from sellers HowBody has verified, with a familiar cart-and-checkout flow built for mobile-money realities, kept honest by reviews.


Built for how Africa lives

Works offline

Core guidance works offline. On install the app detects your country and sets your language automatically, with many languages supported and the option to switch anytime, plus the correct emergency numbers and local information. An optional lock keeps your health data private to you.
