JUDY
Legal research for commonwealth lawyers
One-third of the world's population lives in a common law country. This means judgments from 80 countries can be used to persuasively argue one's case in a court of law. However, this wealth of information has not been harnessed to its full potential by the tools currently available.
This problem is further magnified in African common law countries, whereby many relevant case judgments have not been digitized, exist in silos, or exist as ‘dumb’ databases with limited search and discovery capabilities. As a result, legal research takes a long time and lawyers often spend several days looking for precedent.
JUDY seeks to support the legal profession and the administration of justice by providing a law reporting service in a convenient form and at a moderate price.
Curacel Systems
Digital patient data management system
In Africa, healthcare is overwhelmingly analogue. ERP/EMRs are practically absent, with 95% of healthcare businesses (clinics, labs, and pharmacies) operating on paper. They are slow to adopt existing digital systems, largely because:
For these businesses, digital tools are difficult and expensive to implement, and they’re forced to make do with inefficiency instead. As a result, service delivery is chronically sub-standard; leading to poor care and patient outcomes, and a real downside impact on the performance of healthcare businesses.
Curacel isn tackling fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) in healthcare insurance through a digitized insurance claims tool which detects fraud and errors in customer data, while fast-tracking claims processing for both health insurers and providers.
