AuraHealth
Triage and payment, cleared before the patient reaches the desk.
I watched people walk a hospital end to end before anyone had asked what was wrong.
I school in a teaching hospital, and the thing that struck me was never the medicine. It was the walking. Records to a desk, desk to a cashier, cashier to a queue — and somewhere in the middle, a family working out that they cannot pay today.
AuraHealth moves all of that to before the visit. You call ahead. We take down why you are coming, check there is a slot with someone who can actually see you, and if there is not, we refer you before you have left the house.
Money is handled the same way. Funds are provisioned from your wallet and the payment journey is walked before you arrive, so the patient is covered by the time they step through the door and there is nothing left to sort out on the day.
Halleluyah OludeleBuilt and live. Two dashboards, ten tables, a voice agent that triages and routes, and the full escrow loop from pre-authorisation to payout. What does not exist is a hospital using it — the payments run against Interswitch’s sandbox, so no real money has moved and no patient has been triaged.
In a Nigerian hospital the delay that kills is often administrative, not clinical.
A voice agent works out how urgent someone is while they are still in the queue.
Payment is held in escrow, so an emergency admission is not stopped at a cashier’s desk.
Built in a week for the Enyata × Interswitch Buildathon.
- 21 routesEight pages and thirteen API routes, including six tool endpoints the voice agent calls.
- 10 tablesPostgres via Drizzle: hospitals, resources, patient links, triage requests, escrow transactions, EMR records.
- 5 Interswitch APIsOAuth, Pay Bill, transaction verification, signed webhooks and payouts — on the sandbox, not production.
- 2 live dashboardsHospital and patient, both updating over server-sent events as a triage moves.
Built is not the same as used.
- Sandbox moneyEvery Interswitch call runs against the QA environment. No real naira has moved.
- No hospitalThe resource inventory and pricing are filled in by whoever signs up. No hospital runs on it.
- Nothing measuredNo patients, no triages outside our own testing, no revenue.
- Next gateOne teaching-hospital department willing to pilot it, and production Interswitch credentials.
