Wiring a safer care network for African mothers & newborns.
VitalGryd was founded by healthcare systems executives and clinical AI engineers to eliminate preventable maternal-fetal escalation delays, cold-chain oxytocin failures, and HMO capitation disputes across multi-clinic hospital networks.
Closing the Three Delays in Maternal & Neonatal Care
Across Nigeria and West Africa, maternal and neonatal survival inside multi-branch hospital networks is undermined by three interconnected operational failures: delayed recognition of labor or NICU deterioration on paper charts, uncoordinated inter-clinic blood and oxygen logistics, and slow HMO pre-authorization codes that stall emergency surgery.
VitalGryd unifies these layers into one warm, clinician-first operating system—combining NeoVision™ smartphone partograph and monitor OCR, MaternalSentinel™ sepsis/pre-eclampsia scoring, CapitationEscrow™ claims automation, and live cold-chain telemetry.
The founders behind VitalGryd.
