No more one-size-fits-all

We’re making wellness something you can start, sustain, and trust.

Flip the Script

We’re changing the way Africa thinks about health, making it personal, possible, and built for real life.

Hi, we’re OJ and Tay. Alongside our friends and partners, we’re exploring how people across Africa actually live, eat, move, rest, and recover.

Our work started with a simple discomfort. At 20, OJ’s blood pressure was averaging 160/102 for a while. Access to care wasn’t the problem, sticking to plans, keeping up with habits, and showing up for check-ups was. On top of that, her health history was patchy and poorly documented.

She started noticing it wasn’t just her. Friends, family, and colleagues had the same story: health advice that didn’t fit their lives, care plans that fell apart when routines changed, and histories scattered across scraps of paper, random apps, and memory.

That realisation grew into a question:
What if care started with how people actually live, and adapted as life happened?

Today, that question is the heartbeat of Salty Raisins, a health intelligence company building tools that observe patterns, understand context, and deliver care that feels possible, not impossible.

We’re starting with Bantu Atlas, our living dataset of African life, and building the loop through Pattern Ops (our adaptive engine), Asabe (our context-aware companion), and Attempts (our everyday support app).

Our mission is simple:
Care that listens first, then acts.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: To design health systems that understand people deeply - their patterns, constraints, cultures, and aspirations, and help them take better care of themselves, one decision at a time.

Vision: To become Africa’s most trusted engine for preventive, contextual, and intelligent health, through data, care, and everyday tools that fit real life.

Our Approach

We’re building the Salty Raisins ecosystem:

  • We start by listening to Bantu Atlas -
    Capturing how people live across Africa, in detail and in context.
  • We design with empathy thanks to Pattern Ops - Detecting meaningful changes and adjusting care without judgement.
  • We speak a language you understnd through Asabe - Our context-aware companion that speaks like someone who knows you.
  • We help you try over and over again with Attempts - The app that turns all of this into daily, personalised support.

Our Values

  • Clarity over complexity – We explain things simply, to empower, not confuse.
  • Dignity by default – Every design, decision, and sentence must preserve user dignity.
  • Curiosity without ego – We explore boldly but stay grounded.
  • Progress, not perfection – Change happens in steps; we celebrate every one.
  • Empathy as infrastructure – Caring is not an add-on; it’s built in.
