• Burkina Faso-based startup Hacking Group developed SuiviVital to digitize patient monitoring and medical record management.
• The platform enables remote interactions between patients and doctors through a digital medical record system.
• SuiviVital aims to improve healthcare continuity, particularly for patients living with chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes.

Burkina Faso-based healthtech startup Hacking Group, co-founded by Bienvenu Emmanuel Birba, developed SuiviVital as an e-health solution that uses digital tools to improve patient monitoring and facilitate access to healthcare services.

The company offers features designed to strengthen medical data management, treatment monitoring and interactions between patients and healthcare professionals.

“When we noticed that even pregnant women and people living with chronic diseases such as cancer or diabetes often struggle to monitor their blood pressure or blood sugar levels, we developed SuiviVital, which allows patients to save their health parameters,” Bienvenu Emmanuel Birba said. He added: “With this application, it is also possible to connect patients and doctors. In other words, the doctor can monitor the patient remotely through a digital medical record.”

The platform centralizes selected health information and facilitates the monitoring of consultations, treatments and medical appointments. The company aims to improve the flow of medical information while reducing some of the administrative constraints that healthcare facilities and patients face.

SuiviVital forms part of a growing wave of African healthtech solutions that use digital technologies to address some of the limitations of traditional healthcare infrastructure. Meanwhile, the expansion of smartphone adoption, mobile internet access and digital services continues to support new use cases in connected healthcare across the continent.

The startup also aims to strengthen disease prevention and promote more consistent patient monitoring, particularly for chronic conditions that require long-term care. Digital tools can improve communication between doctors and patients while facilitating access to medical information.
