About DataToCare
Built in the field.
Made to connect.
A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) connecting diagnostic instruments, laboratory teams and national health programmes. A shared thread from the first captured result to the people who need to act on it.

Our purpose
A result should never stop
at the laboratory door.
Laboratory teams need reliable tools. Programme managers need a view across the network. Care teams need results that reach them. DataToCare brings those workflows together.
Grounded in the field
Local capture and queued transmission support work where connectivity is unreliable.
A connected perspective
Desktop, Web, Mobile and Intelligence connect operational work with programme understanding.
Our story
A field problem.
A lasting idea.
DataToCare’s roots are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The software has evolved; its purpose remains connected diagnostic information.
- 2014 / The starting point
GenXchange
Emmanuel André, Benjamin Nyange and field partners developed a prototype to transmit GeneXpert information by SMS from laboratories in DR Congo.
- 2016 / A new platform
DataToCare launches
Building on this work, Savics developed DataToCare, a new solution founded by Aïssa Ghouti, Anatole Abé Etoumou, Julie Vanvolsem, and Xavier Morelle. Combining their technical expertise and complementary backgrounds, the four founders brought the vision to life, launching the first version in August 2016.
- Today / Connected understanding
From results to intelligence
Desktop, Web and Mobile connect laboratory workflows. DataToCare Intelligence adds explainable operational analysis for programme teams.
Country ownership
Your system. Your team.
Your code.
In-country servers keep data under national ownership. A free, royalty-free perpetual licence for non-commercial use and full source-code access on request for non-commercial entities support countries in taking ownership of the platform.
Build national expertise
Savics Academy
A three-year curriculum for national specialists in DR Congo (DRC), Cameroon, Mali and Togo, building the teams who operate and sustain their national systems.
Keep the system delivering
Savics Enable
A managed service working with national decision-makers to keep the system delivering for laboratory networks and health programmes.
A shared effort
Connectivity takes
an ecosystem.
The platform’s story includes laboratory staff, ministries of health and public-health partners. Explore the programmes and institutions featured on our Impact page.
