The problem
People with diabetes or hypertension often stop treatment because of forgetfulness or cost anxiety. Smartphone-only apps leave many patients out.
What to build
Design an SMS and voice-call coach that sends reminders, collects simple readings and escalates to a health worker when readings drift.
Success looks like
A pilot protocol showing improved reminder response rates, and a worker dashboard that lists only the patients who need a call today.
