Skan creates value by helping Africans managing NCDs like diabetes and hypertension make safer food choices, for free, while capturing structured food-health behavior data at scale. We sell to two groups: dietitians, who pay a fee for a dashboard tracking their patients' food choices between appointments, and organizations, including corporate wellness partners (HR teams, institutions, insurers) who pay for aggregated health-behavior insight into their employees or members. Patients and everyday users are never charged; the system around them pays instead.

Skan is a food-health app helping Africans managing diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions choose safer foods by scanning products or cooked meals, or building lists, while building Africa's food-health dataset. Currently live in Ghana with plans on expanding to Nigeria
