Kawu Balya
Well Body, Strong Community
A culturally appropriate mobile health solution empowering Indigenous communities in remote Australia to take control of their wellbeing through personalized health self-monitoring, culturally appropriate education, and seamless connection to care.
Bridging the Health Gap
In remote Australia, First Nations people face significant health challenges:
- •Limited access to healthcare facilities and medical professionals
- •Cultural disconnect with traditional healthcare delivery models
- •Lack of ongoing support between clinic visits
- •No existing health apps designed for Indigenous communities
What the Community Told Us
"I forget when my next clinic visit is."
"It's hard to understand the health advice sometimes."
"I want something simple. Something that talks like we do."
Built by Community, for Community
Every feature exists because someone in the community told us they needed it.
Real Impact, Real Voices
Feedback from our community visits in the Pilbara
"We like it. It's not too hard."
"Looks like it was made by us."
"Can I listen to it next time?"
