KARIBU EHR

Documentation that keeps up with your clinic.

Built for a clinic where one clinician sees forty patients a day. Karibu EHR fits the pace you already work — and gives every patient a record that follows them.

Dictate, don't type

A full visit note in minutes — just speak.

After the patient leaves, dictate what happened in plain words. AI can optionally structure a draft note for you to review and sign. The note saves whether or not the AI runs — it never blocks your work.

Speak in English after the visit; get a draft note back when you want it.
You stay in control — review and sign every note.
Suggests the HMIS diagnosis code for you to confirm.

One continuous record

A record that follows the patient — so care does too.

Every visit builds on the last. When a patient returns, their history is already there: past diagnoses, prescriptions, and results in one timeline. Continuity is what turns documentation into better care.

Past visits, medications and results in one place.
Available even when the network isn’t.
Finalized visits feed HMIS 105 reporting from real clinical data.

Offline-first

Every visit saves on the device and syncs when the network returns — nothing is lost to a dropped connection.

Receipts at discharge

Each visit prints a thermal receipt: diagnosis, medicines, and what to watch for at home.

Guideline-aligned

Coding and dosing follow the Uganda Clinical Guidelines, so the record holds up to scrutiny.

The whole clinic

One clinic. One record. Every role.

A visit doesn't end with the clinician. In Karibu, the same patient record moves with the work — to the lab, the pharmacy, billing, and the maternity ward — so nothing is re-entered and nothing falls through.

Clinician

Sees the patient and starts the record.

Document by voice, order tests, prescribe, refer — all from the phone in your pocket.

Why it matters

Software that makes every shilling of care go further.

Built so the smallest HC II and a busy HC IV run on the same record — and so the people funding better care can see it compound.

Reach, not hardware

Karibu runs on the Android phones clinicians already carry. Adding a clinic costs a login, not a procurement cycle — so every dollar reaches further.

Continuity becomes outcomes

One record follows the patient across every role and every visit. Fewer gaps, fewer repeats, safer care — the difference a funded system is meant to make.

Every visit becomes data

Finalized visits feed HMIS 105 reporting from real clinical data, giving clinics and districts the accountability and public-health signal that paper can’t.

Built in Uganda

Made for Ugandan clinics from the very first step — not adapted to them after the fact.

Most health software is built elsewhere and shipped here. Karibu started in the clinic: on the phones clinicians carry, on the bandwidth they have, at the pace they work. Every decision serves the patient in the room.

About

Built by a nurse and a product developer who share one goal.

Javis and Nate have worked together to build an EHR designed specifically around the workflow and needs of clinics in Uganda — not adapted from software built somewhere else.

Portrait of Javis

Javis

Nurse

Uganda

Javis brings frontline clinical experience from Ugandan health facilities. His day-to-day workflow shaped how Karibu handles visits, documentation, and the pace of real clinic work.

Portrait of Nate

Nate

Product developer

United States

Nate builds software products and partners closely with clinicians on the ground. Together with Javis, he turns clinic realities into tools that fit how teams actually work.
