How Hemochek works
Three steps. One answer. No guessing.
Hemochek pairs with the iron rapid-test device you receive at your community health post or buy locally. The app reads your result and tells you exactly what to do next.
Step 1
Use your rapid-test device
Apply a small menstrual blood sample to the test strip, the same way a pregnancy test works. Your community health worker or a local pharmacy can supply the strip.
Step 2
Log your result in the app
Open Hemochek, tap what you see on the test strip: one line, two lines, or a colour band. The app interprets it immediately. No medical knowledge needed.
Step 3
Get your personal action plan
Hemochek tells you clearly: deficient, borderline, or healthy. Then it shows you which local supplements to buy, foods to add to your meals, and, if needed, the nearest clinic to visit.
Built for your reality
Designed around the barriers you actually face.
Unambiguous results
No medical jargon. No numbers to interpret. Hemochek tells you in one sentence whether you need to act, and what that action is.
Local supplement matching
Iron tablets available in Accra pharmacies are different from those in Tamale markets. Hemochek recommends what you can actually buy in your region.
Cycle tracking built in
Log each test over time. See whether your levels are improving, stable, or getting worse, and share your history with a health worker when you visit.
Works on any phone
Hemochek is built for basic smartphones. Simple text, no heavy images, fast loading. Works even on limited data bundles.
Dietary guidance from local foods
Guidance includes iron-rich Ghanaian foods: kontomire, garden eggs, dried fish. Not imported superfoods you cannot find or afford.
Cycle reminders
Set your cycle length and get a reminder at the start of each period to test your iron. Never miss a check-in again.
