The Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute (JKCI) has introduced a digital patient tracking system that is revolutionizing healthcare follow-up in Tanzania.

Minister Paul Makonda praised the system for improving continuity of care by allowing doctors to access patients' medical histories, including previous diagnoses, tests, and treatments.This system ensures patients retain access to follow-up care after medical camps, which is critical for long-term health management.

During a free medical camp in Arusha, JKCI collaborated with regional authorities, hospitals, and private institutions to provide specialized care, including cardiologists, diagnostic equipment, and AI-powered tools.Dr.

Peter Kisenge highlighted the institute's efforts to educate citizens on preventing non-communicable diseases through campaigns like 'Know Your Numbers,' which focus on monitoring key health indicators.

Additionally, JKCI has deployed 'Dozee,' a mattress-based technology that monitors vital signs without wires, enabling real-time alerts for healthcare providers.

These innovations underscore Tanzania's push toward digital healthcare solutions, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and reduce redundant medical assessments.

The system's success encourages other health facilities to adopt similar technologies, marking a significant step in modernizing Tanzania's healthcare sector.
