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.

Millions of women feel tired every day and don't know it could be their iron.
