Care that
reaches everyone,
everywhere.
Salvus is a healthcare technology company building the rails, apps, and AI products that close the distance between patients and care — from a one-tap ambulance to a continent-wide patient graph.
One platform.
Three layers of care.
Healthcare, by API.
Triage, dispatch, EHR exchange and claims — exposed as REST and webhooks. Wire Salvus into a hospital, a chatbot, or a banking app in days.
Designed for everyday care.
Native mobile and web apps for patients, providers and dispatchers. Voice-first, low-bandwidth, USSD-ready — built for how Africa actually accesses care.
Models trained on our diseases.
Triage, ambient scribe, imaging anomalies, and chart summarization — fine-tuned on the conditions and dialects global AI ignores.
One tap.
Help is moving.
Press once. Salvus dispatches the nearest verified ambulance, alerts your next-of-kin, and streams your vitals and location to the responder before they arrive — on smartphone, web, or a *6555# USSD fallback for feature phones.
Half the continent lives more than an hour from a hospital. We're building the connective tissue that closes that hour — one API, one app, one model at a time.
An operating philosophy
shaped by where we work.
Minutes, not metrics.
Every product we ship has to make a real human get help faster. We ruthlessly cut anything that doesn't move that one number — even features users say they want. Latency is a clinical issue.
- →Median dispatch time tracked per-product, per-week.
- →Every PR ships with a "minutes saved" estimate.
- →On-call rotation includes founders, no exceptions.
USSD is a first-class citizen.
The smartphone-first internet doesn't reach the patient who needs us most. Every Salvus product has a 2G fallback, an SMS path, and a dial-back code. Beautiful, to us, is offline-first.
- →Salvus Emergency works on a Nokia 105.
- →Records sync over SMS-relay where data is intermittent.
- →Voice-first triage in English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa & Pidgin.
Our API is the product.
Hospitals, insurers and clinics around us are partners, not competitors. We expose every capability we build as an API so any team — banks, telcos, ministries, your med-school side project — can put care in front of more people.
- →One-day sandbox approvals for verified developers.
- →Open changelog, public status page, signed webhooks.
- →Revenue share, not vendor lock-in.
