Cadence

The Umvuzo tech ecosystem is strong.
Filling this one gap would make it bulletproof.

Keeping members in rhythm with their care.

The business case

What's Working

  • Healthy MeWearables, DNA, microbiome — predictive care for Activator members
  • Rx Health / 360 PlatformClaims, admin, clinical dashboards — built by your co-founders
  • Digital PlatformVirtual GP consultations, app-based access across all options
  • 50%+ SolvencyFinancially sound, room to invest in what compounds

The Gap

  • Healthy Me predicts risk for younger, healthier Activator members.
  • But your highest-cost members — dual-diagnosis CDL patients on Standard, Supreme, Extreme — are managing ART + metformin through fax-based registration and fragmented clinic visits.
  • They don't need prediction. They need daily coordination.
  • That layer — between the member's WhatsApp and the nurse's dashboard — doesn't exist yet.
Evidence in Hand

What We Know

All numbers modelled from published South African data. Real figures come from a pilot with your claims.

The Data

  • 39% medication adherenceAmong SA diabetes patients (Owolabi & Ajayi, 2024)
  • 4.5% to 12.7%Diabetes prevalence rose in SA (2010-2019)
  • ~R300K/yearRenal dialysis endpoint — per patient
  • ~R22K/patient/yearNon-adherence compounding cost (transport, wages, duplicate scripts, avoidable admissions)
  • 9% vs 4.4%Healthcare spend growth vs. contribution growth (CMS)

What We'd Need From You

  • Actual dual-diagnosis (HIV + diabetes/hypertension) count across your book
  • Current script pick-up rate and average clinic visits per CDL member
  • Claims cost distribution — top 5% of chronic members vs. average
  • Rx Health / 360 Platform integration architecture (FHIR readiness?)
  • Appetite for a 50-person employee-dependents pilot

We're not here with answers. We're here with a hypothesis and the tooling to test it — together, in 30 days, with your data.

We build the layer, you own the data. If the numbers don't hold, we walk away and you've lost nothing.
