The idea

“myMedid is a POS-like health terminal and smart card system that gives every Nigerian patient a portable digital medical identity. A simple tap of the card gives any clinic or pharmacy instant access to the patient's health history and prescriptions — with no internet or electricity required. The system integrates with PharmOS, a pharmacy management layer that turns community pharmacies into enrollment points and data capture nodes. Every pharmacy that adopts it becomes part of a growing health identity network, creating a closed-loop ecosystem where patient data follows the person, not the facility. The problem it solves: 80% of Nigerian clinics and pharmacies still use paper records, creating fragmented care, misdiagnosis, and invisibility to funders.”
