AI-powered chatbot now active in 1,400+ schools, targets 2,000 in the coming months
By Our Reporter
In a major stride toward modernizing school health systems, Chil Group—Africa’s leading AI-for-good social enterprise—has unveiled KETI 1.1, an upgraded artificial intelligence chatbot designed to revolutionize how health data is collected, analyzed, and acted upon in schools across Uganda.
The new version, already deployed in over 1,400 schools, is poised to reach 2,000 partner institutions in the near future. With its simple mobile access via WhatsApp and USSD, KETI 1.1 works seamlessly even on basic mobile phones, making it one of the most inclusive digital health tools available today.
“This tool can literally track anything—from how many students have visited the school sick bay to how many presented specific health issues,” said Dr. Shamim Nabuuma, CEO of Chil Group. “These reports are not just data dumps. They’re clean, processed, and ready for decision-making at the top levels of school administration.”
What Sets KETI 1.1 Apart?
Unlike traditional digital tools, KETI 1.1 is built with the specific realities of African schools in mind. Its AI-driven features are both smart and accessible, turning everyday health records into real-time insights for schools and education authorities.
- Multi-Channel Access: Compatible with WhatsApp and USSD, the tool ensures schools can participate regardless of smartphone availability or internet access.
- Advanced AI Processing: Using Natural Language Understanding (NLU), KETI 1.1 instantly interprets health reports—no formatting required, no technical know-how needed.
- Live Dashboards & Alerts: The system offers intuitive, color-coded dashboards that display health trends by school and region. It also sends alerts for anomalies or missing data, ensuring no red flag goes unnoticed.
- Monthly Oversight & Feedback: A dedicated Impact Team at Chil Group reviews school submissions monthly, offering tailored feedback and mobilizing support when health concerns arise.
Data That Drives Action
Beyond the technology, KETI 1.1 empowers school administrators, NGOs, and government stakeholders with reliable, real-time data. Whether it’s identifying a spike in flu cases or monitoring general health patterns across districts, the platform offers a comprehensive view of student wellness.
“This isn’t just about tracking illness—it’s about early intervention, resource allocation, and building healthier learning environments,” said Dr. Nabuuma. “KETI 1.1 gives us the data to act fast, wisely, and with impact.”
A Broader Vision For AI In Education
Chil Group’s efforts with KETI 1.1 reflect a broader mission: to bridge the gap between technology and underserved communities through purpose-driven AI. The group continues to pioneer tools that uplift health and education systems across the continent.
“When AI meets purpose, impact is inevitable,” the company’s motto boldly states—and KETI 1.1 is living proof.
With its eyes set on full national rollout and regional expansion beyond Uganda, KETI 1.1 stands as a beacon of what’s possible when innovation meets local need.
