Aroha is an early-stage platform that detects disease outbreaks before they spread — by listening to anonymous symptom reports from ordinary people at the neighbourhood level.
Most outbreaks are detected weeks too late. Not because the signs weren't there, but because no one was listening at the ground level. Aroha changes that.
- Report — A user anonymously reports symptoms via the app
- Cluster — Reports are grouped by geography and symptom type
- Detect — AI flags unusual spikes against seasonal baselines
- Alert — Local health authorities are notified before it escalates
No name. No phone number. Just a signal from your neighbourhood.
- Hyperlocal symptom heatmaps at ward/mohalla level
- Fully anonymous reporting — zero identity collection
- AI-powered anomaly detection with seasonal baselines
- Lightweight — designed for low-data and low-smartphone environments
- Direct alerts to ASHA workers and local health officials
To be updated as the project develops.
