DiagKnows

DiagKnows provides an automated medical diagnostics service accessible via a local phone number, targeting regions with limited access to healthcare professionals. Founded in 2016 and based in the United Kingdom, the company's system guides users through a series of medical questions using their telephone keypad to navigate a diagnostic tree, which helps to narrow down possible ailments. The service is primarily aimed at developing countries where mobile phone penetration is significantly higher than access to medical care.

The business model focuses on social impact, with a plan to reinvest profits into global expansion. The data collected through the service holds potential value for alerting entities like the Red Cross to disease outbreaks and for providing insights to pharmaceutical companies for vaccine and treatment research. DiagKnows aims to provide basic medical diagnostic access to a significant population currently without it and has set goals for expansion across Africa and Asia. The company has not yet raised any funding rounds.
