DrSaveAlife: 176 Countries Activate ‘DrSaveAlife’ App

Posted on October 26, 2021

Life Expectancy: DrSaveAlife App Breaks Internet Record

 

…As 176 Countries Activate App, 48 Hours After Launch

 

With just 48 hours after the historic launch of Drsavealife App by

Port Harcourt based Doctors SaveAlife Foundation, a record massive

usage has been reported in 176 countries, including Nigeria and the

United States of America.

Briefing journalists at his office in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the

President of the Foundation, Dr. Richard Okoye said the launch of the

App, Monday, October 19, 2021, became necessary following the sad

revelation that the life expectancy in Nigeria is 54 years, with the

situation now worsened by the Corona virus pandemic.

“I attended a conference in Los Angeles, USA couple of years ago, and

there we analyzed the life expectancy of all the countries of the

world. And I saw Nigeria seated among the war-turn countries at the

life expectancy of 55 years then.

“Unfortunately, we are having 54 today because of Covid and other

unfortunate situations in the country. This gave me a burden as to how

a country of our status be recording such a deplorable and completely

unacceptable life expectancy”, he said, adding that that revelation

triggered his vision to do something, so that by year 2025, the

current life expectancy would move from 54 years to 70 years.

 

Dr. Okoye revealed that the App, which was based on Artificial

Intelligence, and developed by Medisoft Limited, a subsidiary of

SaveAlife group of companies, based in the United States of America.

He said the medical App would serve as ‘a doctor where there is none’.

 

According to him, with only 34 MB, the App, believed to be the world’s

first automated medical self help software, would be downloaded from

Apple or Google Play Stores, and used free of charge by persons living

in Nigeria.

 

He said part of the vision of the Doctors SaveAlife Foundation is to

give the continent of Africa total health through the power of

knowledge.

 

Dr. Okoye disclosed that the development of the multi million Dollars

project, was in pursuit of a vow he made to God, to use the Doctors

SaveAlife Foundation to turn around the health fortunes of Nigerians

and Africans at large.

 

‘We have developed this App in different languages, notably Igbo,

Yoruba, Hausa and pidgin”, he said, adding that the software had also

been translated into French, Spanish, German and Indian languages.

 

“Depending on understanding, we have developed an algorithm that may

even translate it to other native Nigerian languages”, he said.

 

The medic noted that the health crisis in Nigeria was not principally

the lack of infrastructures but what he identifies as lack of health

information, revealing that God gave him the insight to decode this

information to the common man’s language for easy understanding.

 

Dr. Okoye while performing a demo to explain its functionality, said

upon download, user is requested to register and left with variety of

options.

 

Okoye described the App as user friendly, noting that a sick person is

asked questions in very simple language for easy understanding,

considering that the user is not in the best frame of mind owing to

presumed health challenges.

 

He disclosed that the App is also designed to address the primary

health care needs of the people, including mother and child issues.

 

The medic pointed out that another area of interest for mothers is

that the App eliminates the burden of carrying babies’ immunization

cards as every necessary information are permanently fed into the App.

 

Dr. Richard Okoye sits over a conglomerate of companies as President.

These are, Savealife Group of Hospitals and Medisoft Ltd, a software

developing company based in the USA.

 

He is also the Founder of Drsavealife App as well as President,

Doctors SaveAlife Foundation.
