The health trust layer

Trusted health identity.
Connected care.

Curela is infrastructure for portable health identity and care continuity—designed to connect people, providers and public systems without replacing the institutions that already exist.

Health systems do not need another closed app. They need a shared trust layer.

The platform

Identity is the missing infrastructure between fragmented health systems.

Today, a person’s history is scattered across institutions, devices and borders. Curela creates a verifiable connection between identity, records and authorised care—so information can travel with the person while control remains with the relevant institutions.

01

Establish trust

Align governance, identity anchors, participating organisations and assurance rules.

02

Issue identity

Create a portable, verifiable health identity linked to the person—not a single provider.

03

Connect records

Exchange consented, standards-based information across authorised endpoints.

04

Enable care

Support public, private and community applications without locking the ecosystem to one app.

The architecture

One rail. Five coordinated layers.

A modular architecture allows each country or network to retain its own governance, identity systems, clinical platforms and delivery partners.

Layer 01

Governance before technology.

Define who may issue, verify and rely on credentials; how disputes are resolved; and which assurance levels apply to each use case.

  • Trust framework and operating rules
  • National or institutional identity anchor
  • Organisation onboarding and trust registry
Design principles

Built for trust, not lock-in.

The core design choices protect institutional sovereignty while making health identity and care continuity practical in real operating environments.

01

Sovereign control

Public authorities and participating institutions retain control over policy, identity anchors and regulated data.

02

Offline inclusion

Core verification and field workflows are designed for interrupted connectivity, shared devices and assisted access.

03

Interoperability

Curela is designed to connect existing systems and standards rather than force a wholesale replacement.

04

Selective access

Users and institutions can disclose the minimum information required for a specific, authorised purpose.

05

Modular deployment

Countries and networks can start with one corridor or use case, then extend the same trust foundation.

06

Institutional accountability

Issuers, verifiers and relying parties operate under explicit roles, audit trails and exception processes.

Use cases

One identity across many care contexts.

Curela’s role is to make identity, consent and continuity reusable. Care models remain adaptable to local institutions and needs.

Community health

Connect the last mile to the health system.

Equip authorised community teams to identify people, capture structured care events and connect referrals—without turning the field worker into the owner of the record.

View architecture
03

Development & financing partners

Institutions funding health access, workforce modernisation and cross-system infrastructure.

Deployment model

Start with a bounded problem. Build a reusable institution.

Curela deployments begin with governance and operating reality—not a generic technology rollout.

01

Discover

Map institutions, regulation, identity anchors, workflows and the specific continuity failure to solve.

02

Design

Define the trust framework, assurance levels, architecture, operating model and commercial boundaries.

03

Pilot

Launch a controlled corridor, population or provider network with measurable service and trust outcomes.

04

Scale

Extend institutions, use cases and geography on the same governed identity and interoperability rail.

C

Curela is not a replacement for national identity, hospital systems or clinical judgement.

It is the governed infrastructure that helps them recognise the same person, exchange authorised context and coordinate care.

About Curela

Infrastructure for health systems that must work across institutions, geography and imperfect connectivity.

Curela is a UK-founded health infrastructure company developing a trust, identity and interoperability layer for connected care. Our work is oriented toward public institutions, provider networks and strategic partners across the UK, GCC, Africa and other frontier markets.

We believe the durable health platform is not the app that owns every interaction. It is the trusted rail that allows many institutions and applications to coordinate safely.
