How it works

A clearer path from signal to action.

MedGuard is designed as an awareness layer: it organises attributable information, personal context and practical next steps without presenting them as a medical diagnosis.

Your area is resolved

If foreground location sharing is enabled, a server-verified Nigerian state can become the alert area. If permission is denied or unavailable, MedGuard uses the saved manual home state.

Evidence keeps its label

Verified official reports and active model forecasts can create disease-specific outlooks. Weather and air quality stay separate as environmental context and cannot silently become outbreak claims.

Official updates stay attributable

Health News preserves the publisher, publication date and original link. MedGuard may use public NCDC and WHO material as sources; this does not imply endorsement.

Check-ins stay personal

Authenticated users can record structured wellness check-ins and see awareness-focused personal signals. The public website never receives this information.

Nearby care shares one location

The map and health screen use the same care-search context, radius and freshness state. Searching for care does not by itself change the alert area.

Notifications need a reason

Official reports target a matching state; forecast alerts require an actionable increase and remain labelled as estimates. Reminders are separate and user-controlled.

Still a prototype

The system is being tested, not presented as clinical infrastructure.

Early testers help us validate clarity, permission handling, relevance and safety. They should continue relying on healthcare professionals and official public-health guidance.

Designed for wider reach

The app is the working prototype. SMS and USSD are pilot ambitions.

MedGuard is preparing these channels for future approved testing with communities and delivery partners. It does not claim live nationwide feature-phone coverage today.
