Curela provides portable health identity and care-continuity infrastructure that connects people, providers and public systems without replacing the institutions that already exist.
Health systems do not need another closed app. They need a shared trust layer.
Today, a person’s health context is scattered across institutions, devices and borders. Curela creates a verifiable connection between identity, authorised information flow and care—so essential context can travel with the person while clinical records remain with the institutions that hold them.
Align governance, identity anchors, participating organisations and assurance rules.
Create a portable, verifiable health identity linked to the person—not a single provider.
Enable consented, standards-based exchange between authorised systems. Clinical records remain with the institutions that hold them; Curela verifies who may access what, and records that it happened.
Support public, private and community applications without locking the ecosystem to one app.
A modular architecture allows each country or network to retain its own governance, identity systems, clinical platforms and delivery partners.
Curela is designed to sit above foundational identity infrastructure, not to replace it. Where a country already operates a national identity platform — including open-source foundational identity systems — Curela integrates with it as the authorised identity source. The identity anchor is a configuration, not a dependency.
The trust registry is owned by the government or institution that governs it. Curela operates the infrastructure and admits no issuer and no sender. Identity remains anchored to the national or institutional authority — Curela does not become the identity authority, and does not hold sovereign keys.
Issue verifiable credentials that can be presented online or offline, recovered when devices are lost and updated as circumstances change.
Curela enables consented, standards-based exchange between authorised systems. Clinical records remain with the institutions that hold them; Curela verifies who may access what, and records that it happened.
Give people, providers and field teams role-appropriate tools to present, verify, consent, review and revoke access.
Community care, travel health, emergency access and other services use the same trusted foundation instead of rebuilding identity and integration each time.
Health systems rarely fail at build. They fail at year three, when programme funding ends and no domestic budget line carries the recurring cost. Curela treats funding continuity as an architectural problem, not an afterthought. The same rail that verifies identity also records verification events, so the infrastructure can be operated under a transparent, auditable cost structure — and so that verification by private institutions can contribute to the cost of public service delivery rather than sitting outside it. Public bodies verify without charge at the point of use. Entitlement rules remain the property of the funder. Curela never holds or moves money.
The core design choices protect institutional sovereignty while making health identity and care continuity practical in real operating environments.
Public authorities and participating institutions retain control over policy, identity anchors and regulated data.
Core verification and field workflows operate across interrupted connectivity, shared devices and assisted-access environments.
Curela connects existing systems and standards rather than forcing a wholesale replacement.
Users and institutions can disclose the minimum information required for a specific, authorised purpose.
Countries and networks can start with one corridor or use case, then extend the same trust foundation.
Issuers, verifiers and relying parties operate under explicit roles, audit trails and exception processes.
Where cover or authorisation is declined, the person is told which programme and which funder made the decision, why, and what to do next. A funder’s policy should never be experienced as a failure of the person’s credential.
Curela’s role is to make identity, consent and continuity reusable. Care models remain adaptable to local institutions and needs.
Equip authorised community teams to identify people, capture structured care events and connect referrals—without turning the field worker into the owner of the record.
Support authorised access to a verified health summary across countries, provider networks or regional corridors while local systems remain independent.
Allow authorised responders to verify identity and retrieve a constrained emergency profile, with access rules appropriate to the context.
With appropriate consent and clinical governance, wearable and remote-monitoring signals can be linked to a trusted identity and presented as part of a longitudinal health context.
National, regional and municipal health authorities building trusted digital public infrastructure.
Explore deployment ↗Hospitals, clinics, laboratories and community networks that need reliable identity and continuity.
Technical architecture ↗Institutions funding health access, workforce modernisation and cross-system infrastructure.
Curela deployments begin with governance and operating reality—not a generic technology rollout.
Map institutions, regulation, identity anchors, workflows and the specific continuity failure to solve.
Define the trust framework, assurance levels, architecture, operating model and commercial boundaries.
Launch a controlled corridor, population or provider network with measurable service and trust outcomes.
Extend institutions, use cases and geography on the same governed identity and interoperability rail.
It is the governed infrastructure that helps them recognise the same person, exchange authorised context and coordinate care.
Curela is a UK-founded health infrastructure company building a trust, identity, authorised-exchange and sustainability layer for connected care. Our near-term institutional focus is East Africa, with broader strategic engagement across the United Kingdom, the GCC and other frontier markets.
We believe the durable health platform is not the app that owns every interaction. It is the trusted rail that allows many institutions and applications to coordinate safely.
For public institutions, health networks, development partners and regulated infrastructure providers.
