Creating sustainable incomes.","story":"Transforming Access to Healthcare with Funding, Training \u0026amp; Tools At PERSOWN Connect, we are working to bring affordable sustainable healthcare services to the billion underserved families around the world. By leveraging innovative funding methods, training, and technology, we're bringing first-world healthcare solutions to those who need it most.\u0026nbsp;Our Innovative Approach To empower communities, PERSOWN Connect partners with financial institutions to create microfinancing opportunities. These loans fund Community Medical Technicians (CMTs) who bring affordable healthcare directly to families. These CMTs will be empowered by our in-country financial partners to enable Consumer Treatment Loans for some of their families who need immediate care and do not have cash on hand for their recommended treatment.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Armed with leading-edge diagnostic tools, CMTs ensure that underserved populations receive essential care and maintain personal electronic health records. They also facilitate telehealth sessions and manage the delivery of treatment and medications through small pay-for-service fees from families. Our unique franchise model supports this mission, expanding the efforts of local NGOs, faith-based clinics, and health ministries.\u0026nbsp;Our Business Model In developing countries, 2.5 million Community Health Workers struggle with inadequate resources to provide quality care. PERSOWN Connect empowers these workers by offering a Franchise CareKit, a turnkey medtech solution that transforms them into Community Medical Technicians (CMTs). Through partnerships with microfinance banks and NGOs or Other Health Organizations, CMTs can access $2,500 microloans to purchase their CareKit, equipping them with state-of-the-art diagnostics, digital tools, and training. Each CMT operates as an independent entrepreneur, serving hundreds of families within her designated territory. Families pay small, affordable weekly SMS-based subscriptions, ensuring sustainable healthcare access and lifetime digital health records.Our Revenue ModelCMTs generate income while delivering vital healthcare services.PERSOWN Connect and its global partners earn small royalties on each CareKit for years to come.Investors benefit from a scalable, high-impact model designed for long-term sustainability.With a billion underserved families gaining affordable, continuous healthcare, we envision a profitable, impact-driven business that will pay monthly dividends to shareholders as we scale.Why PERSOWN Connect Backed by a leadership team experienced in global healthcare systems, payment technologies, and logistics, PERSOWN Connect operates a sustainable and efficient for-profit franchise model. Our integration of healthcare and education into developing countries accelerates the availability of modern healthcare innovations, preventing lifelong suffering from untreated diseases.\u0026nbsp;Seizing the Opportunity\u0026nbsp;The expansion of worldwide satellite connectivity via SpaceX Starlink is a key enabler. It allows CMTs to instantly access the latest AI-driven health resources; offer point-of-care testing; connect with specialists globally; and leverage payment models. Crucially, this initiative opens new markets for technology providers, capitalizing on economies of scale with cost-effective investments.\u0026nbsp;Creating Lasting Impact\u0026nbsp;Our approach optimizes capital use by offering micro-financing for medical equipment loans to CMTs, fostering community-driven healthcare. With 3,000 Micro Financing Institutions globally, serving 80 million borrowers, we leverage this network to provide loans starting at $2,500 for CMT franchisees. Each CMT supports approximately 250 families with a subscription model costing a mere $0.50 per week per family, offering extensive healthcare services and access to scheduled telehealth resources.\u0026nbsp;By securitizing these loans, PERSOWN Connect builds the necessary infrastructure to tap into a tiny slice of the 100+ trillion-dollar bond market. With default rates similar to first-world banks, our educated CMTs bolster community health, reducing illness and economic risk. And will help lower interest costs with efficient and accurate payment processing. Invest TodayPERSOWN Connect is not just enhancing healthcare — it's reshaping it to be inclusive, sustainable, and forward-thinking. Join us in our mission to profitably and sustainably ensure that no child or family suffers from preventable illnesses due to lack of resources.","location":"Jacksonville, FL","website":"https://persownconnect.com","total_amount_raised":70100,"total_investors":34,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":2,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/persown.connect.inc","https://persownconnect.com"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/169154/xxl_blob.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/169154/large_blob.jpeg","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/169154/standard_blob.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/169154/standard_blob.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://persownconnect.com","linkedin_url":"https://linkedin.com/company/persown-conect/?viewAsMember=true","twitter_url":"https://x.com/Persown_Connect","youtube_url":"https://youtube.com/@PERSOWNConnect"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"Over 1 billion families in developing countries lack access to affordable healthcare \u0026amp; diagnostics"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Our focus is on emerging consumers who can afford $.50 cents a week to purchase our services."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"We will finance, equip, train and support Community Medical Technicians (CMTs), mostly women."},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Our software business can be profitable in supporting 1 billion families across the globe."},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"We work with in-country health organizations that have 2+ million community health workers."},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"CMTs use our CareKit, including advanced technology \u0026amp; tools to deliver health in their communities."},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"CMT franchisees receive loans from regional microlenders to fund their CareKit and tech platform."},{"index":8,"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"Our initial deployments will be in Ghana, Brazil and Nigeria."}],"team":[{"id":5347922,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:5347922","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:4564135","role":"employee","name":"Carey Officer","title":"President","bio":"Carey is a seasoned healthcare executive with over two decades of experience including Nemours Children’s Hospital, Baptist Health and KPMG.
