SpesMD Doctor’s App Testing Begins

We are pleased to announce that Spes MD (the Spes360 Clinician App) is ready, and testing has begun. The comprehensive evaluation process, which commenced in August, is designed to ensure the platform is reliable, secure, and fully functional before its complete rollout. Developed by Kenyan pathologists who have practised across the continent and understand the unique challenges facing Africa’s healthcare system, SpesMD addresses the unique challenges that plague Africa’s diagnostic ecosystem: delayed test results due to broken coordination between clinicians and laboratories, inefficient workflows that drive up care costs, and the lack of diagnostic certainty due to poor standardisation and a critical shortage of pathologists.

Here’s how the new platform promises to transform diagnostic healthcare across Kenya:

Firstly, the app enables clinicians to order and monitor their tests anytime, anywhere. Unlike traditional diagnostic workflows, which require cumbersome ordering processes and are prone to communication breakdowns, SpesMD comes equipped with a diagnostic service platform that provides real-time ordering and test tracking capabilities. Healthcare workers can now order tests, monitor their cases through the platform, and receive notifications when results become available. This transparency eliminates the uncomfortable patient conversations that arise when test results are delayed indefinitely, a common occurrence in Kenya’s fragmented diagnostic system. Furthermore, SpesMD comes equipped with infrastructure to coordinate workflows across laboratories, pathologists, and TPN’s operations, ensuring speed, consistency, and quality from end to end.

Secondly, the platform provides guaranteed access to board-certified pathologists and expert-reviewed pathology reports. Africa’s diagnostic ecosystem is characterised by a significant shortage of pathologists, with 1 pathologist serving a million patients on average. In comparison, most developed countries have 1 pathologist serving 25,000 residents. The critical shortage of pathologists means that many hospitals practice without one, and patients receive delayed or unclear results. This is a recipe for poor patient outcomes and damaged clinical reputations. SpesMD connects clinicians directly with a network of qualified pathologists, enabling collaboration that goes beyond accurate, standardised reports to MDT discussions that provide clarity when it is needed the most.

In conclusion, SpesMD (and the broader Spes360 ecosystem) is all you need to transform your practice, scale your test offering, and deliver reliable treatment to your patients. Whether you’re a consultant seeking seamless integration with qualified pathologists, a health administrator looking to streamline hospital workflows, or a clinician in need of a solution to eliminate the stress of delayed and unclear results, SpesMD provides the comprehensive solution that brings order to your diagnostics. We’re excited about the transformative impact this platform will have on healthcare across Kenya and beyond. Join the 300+ clinicians and 60+ hospitals already experiencing the difference, and discover how Spes360 can revolutionise your diagnostic workflows today.
