Description
Background / Introduction:
Non-communicable diseases are rising in Kenya. Integrating prevention into primary health care and employer systems requires scalable, clinician-friendly digital tools. Nairobi Fitness Consulting (NBOFITNESS) developed a cloud-hosted suite of web-applications to support rapid screening, individualized planning and referral pathways for workplace and primary-care settings.
Methods:
We describe the design and technical validation of seven interoperable web-apps: Body Composition Analysis; Pre-Participation Evaluation (physical-activity readiness); Serum PFAS Calculator; Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) Calculator; NUTRITIOGEN™ (BMR/RDI meal-plan generator); PHYSIOGEN™ (condition-specific exercise prescriptions); and PSYCHOLOGEN™ (structured psychological-exercise modules). Development followed user-centred agile methods with iterative clinician, nutritionist and physiologist input. Technical validation included comparison of computed outputs to standard clinical formulas, cross-device testing, simulated load scenarios and privacy/security checks.
Results:
Technical testing confirms functional completeness: accurate computational outputs aligned with clinical calculations, stable simulated performance, interoperable data export, and clinician-oriented report generation. Internal usability sessions generated UI and workflow refinements and reduced simulated completion times. No human-participant or pilot outcome data are reported in this submission. A multicentre pilot protocol (including consent templates, data governance and an ethical review plan) has been prepared for employer and PHC deployment.
Conclusion:
The NBOFITNESS web-app toolkit is technically ready for pilot implementation to integrate NCD prevention into primary care and workplace programmes. At the conference we will (1) demo each app, (2) present the pilot protocol and governance model, and (3) invite partners to co-design and host implementation pilots to measure uptake, risk-shift, clinical outcomes and economic impact.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the architecture and clinical rationale of each app and how they integrate into PHC and workplace workflows.
2. Outline operational steps and ethical and data-governance safeguards required for safe deployment.
3. Identify pilot metrics and partnership pathways for rapid implementation (uptake, risk-shift, adherence, ROI).
