Chjamu: Care Circle Alarms

SAIFULLAH

About this app

When something feels wrong during pregnancy, after birth or with a newborn, a family needs a clear next step and someone who will answer.

Chjamu brings together care questions, a private circle of people you know, and a written record to take to a health centre.

First, tell Chjamu what is happening. Select one or several concerns, or choose “I just don't feel right.” Then one question fills the screen, with large answers in ordinary words. The app stops when another question would not change its recommendation, with a maximum of five follow-ups. Reported danger signs set a minimum action that the probability model cannot lower. You can choose Go now at any time. The decision model is built to err towards sending you for care.

Enroll a person in the house, someone with transport, and a health worker face to face using a QR code or short code. Each receiving phone keeps its own countdown. A delivered message does not mean someone is awake: a person must press and hold for one and a half seconds to acknowledge. An unresolved alert remains visible.

Circle messages can travel through an encrypted internet relay, the same Wi-Fi network, or Bluetooth between phones already paired in Android settings. Calling and texting open your phone's dialer or message composer for you to send.

The written page records answers, the recommended action, acknowledgements and later events. Export it as a PDF for a caregiver or clinic. Optional biometric or PIN locking protects saved circle information on your phone.

The engineering model uses assumed probabilities and has not completed clinical review. It must not be used to rule out danger. Chjamu is not a substitute for a nurse, doctor or emergency service. Seek professional help when concerned. A switched-off, disconnected, muted or force-stopped phone may not ring. Check notification, Do Not Disturb, full-screen alarm and battery settings and test every enrolled phone.
