Nairobi—Savva launched globally today on iOS and Android across more than 70 countries and 49 languages, introducing a consumer medical AI that runs entirely on a user’s phone.
The app compiles medical records and wearable data into one longitudinal timeline and allows users to query it using a choice of leading AI models—with no account, no cloud, and no identity stored.
Most people lack a usable medical record; their history is scattered across paper lab results, prescription bottles, and PDFs shared via messaging apps. In the U.S., Savva integrates with over 280,000 care sites via live FHIR integrations. Elsewhere, on-device OCR converts photos of paper records, prescriptions, and PDFs into structured, searchable data in 49 languages—making health history searchable for many users for the first time.
Users can query their records using more than 12 AI models. Cloud-based options (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi) are routed through an anonymized layer to protect user identity, while on-device models (Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral, Falcon) run fully offline. With no central database, there is no server to breach or data to sell. As the company states, user data isn’t de-identified—it’s unidentified.
Savva is tailored for chronic disease management, tracking GLP-1 doses, side effects, and labs on a unified timeline. It integrates continuous glucose monitoring (Dexcom, Libre, and Stelo), supports the American Heart Association blood pressure protocol, and organizes over 20 biomarkers into readable trends.
The core app is free globally. The optional AI tier ranges from US$9.99 per year in the U.S. down to approximately US$3–6 annually in markets like Kenya, India, Brazil, and Nigeria—offering the same product, AI, and privacy, with localized language and pricing.
“Health tech is usually built for the people who already have it,” said Stephen Rouse, cofounder of Savva. “We flipped that. The same tool a patient at a top U.S. hospital uses is the one a patient in Nairobi gets, in their language, at a price built for their market. Our mission is to enable a billion people to hold their first digital health record within a few years.”
“We made privacy a property of the architecture, not a policy promise,” said Amit Shah, cofounder and CTO. “There is no account, no Savva cloud, and no identity on file. Your records live on your phone, and they stay there.”
The app is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
