Real-world research, designed with the people it serves.
Our research is community- and technology-focused, not laboratory-based. We are starting in Kenya and Zimbabwe, with plans to scale into other African countries.
Listening first. Building second. Scaling carefully.
Our current programme of work is a pilot, a deliberate, careful first phase designed to understand what people living with epilepsy in Kenya and Zimbabwe actually need from digital support, and what kinds of tools they will trust and use.
We are not running laboratory experiments. We are running conversations, co-design workshops, and small structured studies with patients, caregivers and pharmacists in real community settings.
Kenya and Zimbabwe are our starting point. As our pilots mature, we plan to extend our model into other African countries, always co-designed with the communities they serve.
What we're working on right now
Community pharmacist-led epilepsy support
Testing whether community pharmacists, supported by a simple mobile education tool, can meaningfully improve epilepsy knowledge and treatment continuity for patients and caregivers in their local areas.
Co-designing digital epilepsy education
Working with people living with epilepsy, caregivers and frontline healthcare workers to co-design plain-language, mobile-first epilepsy content that fits Zimbabwean cultural and linguistic context.
Principles behind every study
Co-designed
Patients, caregivers and frontline workers help shape every research question we ask.
Community-rooted
We do our work in homes, pharmacies and community spaces, not behind clinic walls.
Practical evidence
We measure what matters to people: understanding, confidence, continuity of care.
