Why Bantu Atlas

Most health datasets miss the realities that shape care: time, food access, belief, stress, and environment. Bantu Atlas listens first. It captures how people actually live, so guidance lands in real life not just on paper.

What Bantu Atlas contains

Bantu Atlas captures four layers of context:

  • Behavioural rhythms such as meals, sleep, movement, hydration
  • Cultural practices and beliefs
  • Environmental and logistical conditions
  • Emotional and relational signals.

Data comes from app logs and structured field inputs, always with consent and governance.

The Salty Raisins Ecosystem

Salty Raisins is a full-stack health intelligence system: a research core that learns how people actually live, an adaptive engine that responds to change, an assistant that speaks with respect, and an app that turns all of it into daily support.

  • Bantu Atlas

    Our living research layer. It collects consented context from app logs and structured field intake, tagging culture, routine, environment, and emotion. Over time it builds longitudinal patterns so raw data becomes meaning.

  • Pattern Ops

    The adaptive engine. It watches for meaningful change across weeks and seasons, then adjusts targets, delays nudges, or rolls plans back when life shifts. The goal is realism and recovery.

  • Asabe

    The way insight speaks. Our AI Chatbot. Communicates in context to users and supports our clinical team with clear summaries and thoughtful follow-ups. Tone is respectful by default and she never diagnoses.

  • Attempts

    Where it all shows up. The app turns this intelligence into everyday guidance you can actually use, with quick logging, gentle plans, and progress that evolves as your life changes.

Methods and governance

We design for dignity and usefulness. Participation is consent-based; data is anonymised, access-controlled, and never sold. We collect only what’s needed for care and research and delete what we don’t need. Partners work under shared protocols and ethics review.
