Mission

Ukubona builds epistemic infrastructure for personalized decision-making in public health, medicine, and symbolic systems.

What We Do

Ukubona translates statistical models into interactive, personalized visualizations that empower individuals, clinicians, and researchers to make informed decisions under uncertainty. We specialize in high-stakes domains such as living kidney donation, perioperative risk, aging, and metabolic self-regulation.

Our Philosophy

We believe consent is a process, not a signature. Information is not knowledge. And personalized medicine must begin not with the genome, but with perspective. We treat software as interface, interface as epistemology, and epistemology as lived negotiation between self and nonself.

Our Platform

Our modular platform ingests curated datasets and statistical models, including Cox regression and survival analysis, and renders these into real-time decision support tools. All outputs are responsive, explainable, and designed to reveal—not conceal—uncertainty.

Whom We Serve

We work with academic health centers, clinical researchers, public health agencies, and individual donors. Our interfaces are built to be co-navigated: patient and provider, researcher and regulator, model and myth.

The Name

Ukubona is a Zulu verb meaning “to see.” But not just to see with the eye: to apprehend, to understand, to bear witness. In our architecture, to see is to connect the symbolic with the physiological, the statistical with the mythic. Seeing too much can hurt—but not seeing enough can kill.
