Miti (me-tee) means “trees” in Swahili, the national language of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the DRC. We chose the name Miti for two reasons: as a reference to the decision trees that form the core of our software, and to ensure that we build a brand that resonates with the people that use it most.
As Miti Health grows, it is important that we remain firmly rooted in the values our organization represents. These values are personal and professional; but most importantly, they are motivational— guiding our people and our decisions everyday. Here are the things that we at Miti Health value most:
Put our users first
Make decisions guided by our mission to support healthcare providers who work tirelessly to serve patients with few other options.
Use data to learn and improve quickly
Maintain a relentless focus on data collection, and allow its honest implementation to guide strategic business decisions.
Embrace experimentation and failure
HealthIT is a new space, and we are excited to try new things. Failure is a natural outcome of experimentation, and we welcome it.
Never compromise transparency
Don’t hesitate to be honest— with users, with partners, with funders, and with ourselves.
Be humble & open-minded
Place an emphasis on listening and understanding before speaking. Always be open to critique and willing to admit when we are wrong.
Design for simplicity
Keeping things simple demands constant reassessment. We strive to build a user experience that is intuitive and easy to use.
Lead by compassionate example
Build a work environment where team members have the support, autonomy, and agency to pursue ideas that support our mission.
Maintain diversity in team make up
Develop a multidisciplinary team of individuals with a variety of experiences and skills who complement one another well.
