The pilot will target 100,000 of the county’s most vulnerable people across five
sub-counties of Homa Bay, supporting early screening and monitoring for tuberculosis(
TB) and hypertension. The program will run entirely on the user’s mobile device 
and reflects almost nine months of on-the-ground planning and collaboration between
Helfie, Homa Bay’s Ministry of Health and the county’s population health team.

**Rania Awad, Chief Strategy Officer, Helfie AI, **said: "_This MOU marks the start
of a preventive health pilot with the County Government of Homa Bay, focused on 
the early detection of tuberculosis and hypertension using Helfie. It is a concrete
step towards a future where screening reaches every household, and where the intelligence
to detect disease early resides in people’s own hands rather than behind a clinic
an hour’s drive away."_

**Hon. Grace Mercy Osewe, Homa Bay County, **said: "_Innovation sits at the core
of what we do and how we are continuously thinking about delivering impactful health
programs at scale. Helfie will help us determine how we can reach patients where
they are and help connect them to the next steps in care promptly and efficiently."_

**George Tomeski, CEO, Helfie AI, **said: _"When we say all eight billion humans,
we mean the fisherman who never reaches a clinic and the household a health worker
visits once a month, not just the people already well served. Homa Bay is where 
that commitment becomes real. Bringing early detection and proactive prevention 
to this community takes us a meaningful step closer to a world where optimised wellbeing
is available to everyone, everywhere."_
