Solution Overview & Benefits

The HERA Digital Health app is a free, open-source mobile health platform designed to bridge the gap between refugees and essential healthcare services. It focuses on improving access to reproductive, maternal, and child health care by providing tools such as appointment reminders, health information, and centralized medical records storage. The app supports multiple languages, including Arabic, Turkish, English, Dari, and Pashto, to cater to diverse user needs.

  • Improved Access to Care: Helps refugees and underserved populations access maternal, child, and reproductive health services, even in unstable or mobile environments.
  • Multi-language Support: Available in Arabic, Turkish, English, Dari, and Pashto, making it inclusive for diverse communities.
  • Health Education: Offers clear, culturally sensitive information about prenatal care, family planning, child vaccinations, and more.
  • Digital Medical Records: Allows users to store and carry their own medical data securely, reducing information loss due to migration or displacement.
  • Appointment Reminders: Reduces missed visits and improves continuity of care for mothers and children.
  • Open Source & Adaptable: Organizations can customize the platform to local health systems and needs.
  • Data Privacy & Security: Prioritizes confidentiality and ethical use of data for vulnerable users.
  • Offline Functionality: Usable without a stable internet connection, which is key for remote or low-connectivity regions.
History & Development

The concept for HERA originated in 2016, inspired by successful mobile health reminder initiatives like SMS campaigns for vaccinations. The platform was officially launched in 2018 by a team with global health and public health expertise, who sought to address the gaps in preventive healthcare for Syrian refugees. The app's modular design allows for future expansion into chronic and mental health management.
