Simplifying hypertension care in Africa

Making the silent killer visible.

High blood pressure, the silent killer, affects 1.4 billion adults worldwide, yet nearly half don't know they have it. Ovana makes blood pressure checks and control more accessible, so fewer lives are lost to a condition we can prevent.

What we do

Making blood pressure checks and control more accessible.

Six practical ways we're changing blood pressure awareness and care in Africa.

The challenge

A silent condition with global impact.

Hypertension often has no noticeable symptoms. Without detection and effective management, it raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage and premature death.

The Ovana app

Don't manage your blood pressure alone.

Managing hypertension takes more than logging numbers. Ovana pairs blood pressure tracking and practical education with human support that helps you know when to take the next step.

  • See your readings and trends in one place.
  • Get reminders, education and guidance when readings need attention.
  • Step up to human-supported care whenever you need more.
