DHealth

About

Built from Djibouti, with the people who do the work.

DHealth started from a specific observation in a specific place: diagnostics cross organizational boundaries constantly, and the software on each side of those boundaries rarely does.

What we are trying to do

Make a diagnostic order legible from the moment a clinician writes it to the moment a patient knows what happens next — across organizations that will never share one system, and should not have to.

We are starting in Djibouti because that is where the work began and where the people we build with are. The problem is not local, but the obligation to get it right for one place first is.

Where the work actually is today, stated as plainly as we can put it.
  1. DHealth Exchange

    The network layer. Implemented and qualified against continuous integration and a real database.

  2. DHealth Native

    In development

    The workflow software for facilities that need it. Built and component-tested.

  3. DHealth Connect

    In design

    The integration path for facilities with their own system. No connector exists yet.

  4. A facility live on the network

    Planned

    None yet. No pilot, no real patient care, no customers, and no date being promised.

Nothing on this site describes software a facility is using, because no facility is using it. The workflow model is described in the present tense because the Exchange implements it; availability to a facility is not.

How we work

  • With clinicians, not at them

    The people running clinics and laboratories here know their workflows better than any software team does. Our job is to learn what actually happens and connect it, not to arrive with a theory about how they should work instead.

  • French first, not translated later

    French is a first-class language in the product, not a localisation pass added at the end. The same applies to this site.

  • Nothing invented in the clinical space

    DHealth does not author clinical content, interpret results, or introduce decision support. Where clinical definitions are needed, they come from recognised references and are signed off by a clinical lead — not composed by a software team.

  • Honest about what is built

    This site distinguishes what exists from what is designed from what is planned, and we would rather lose a conversation than win one on a claim we cannot support.

Where the work stands

The Exchange — the network layer that holds transactions, routing, release and amendment — is implemented and under continuous automated qualification. The native clinic, laboratory and patient surfaces are built and being tested. DHealth Connect is in design. No facility is live on the network, no real patient's care has depended on it, and there is no pilot on real patients on any track.

We will update this page rather than quietly let it age.

Build it with us

Early participants influence what this network becomes and where it goes after Djibouti.

DHealth is in active development. No facility is live on the network, and nothing here has been used in real patient care.
