On April 25, 2025, Sproxil, the global pioneer in anti-counterfeiting and consumer engagement, proudly announced the launch of AISHA (Artificial Intelligence Support Healthcare Assistant), an innovative WhatsApp AI Assistant designed to revolutionize how Nigerian consumers engage with healthcare and improve their everyday health decisions across urban, suburban, and rural communities nationwide.
This user-friendly, intelligent tool delivers clear, concise responses to all health inquiries, not just drug information, offering patients across Nigeria a lifeline of trusted healthcare knowledge right in their pockets and creating a stronger link between technology, patient well-being, and equitable healthcare access.
For over a decade, Sproxil has led the way in helping Nigerians verify the authenticity of their medications using QR codes or unique 13-digit SMS codes. This authentication step has been critical in fighting the dangerous spread of counterfeit drugs across the country and building public confidence in pharmaceutical products. But according to Ashifi Gogo, CEO and Founder of Sproxil, the company wanted to go beyond verification. “Authenticity is just the beginning. Once people know their medication is real, they need access to accurate, timely answers about how to use it, potential side effects, drug interactions, or broader health concerns. AISHA is designed to provide those answers right when they need them most, ensuring no Nigerian is left without support.”
Once a medication is verified, the consumer receives a WhatsApp link to AISHA. With one click, they are welcomed by the Assistant, which guides them through a smooth, interactive session where they can ask questions about drug interactions, storage, or any general health inquiry. Users can engage with up to 15 questions every 24 hours, ensuring they get relevant, personalized answers without needing a clinic visit or a pharmacist consultation every time they have a concern or doubt.
The benefits of AISHA extend well beyond convenience. By empowering people with accurate health knowledge, Sproxil is helping improve medication adherence, reduce the risks of misuse, and strengthen public trust in the healthcare system, especially in underserved areas and remote communities that often lack reliable medical access. Ashifi Gogo adds, “Every time a patient feels confident about their health decisions, we are moving one step closer to a healthier Nigeria. That is why AISHA matters so much and why we remain committed to continuous innovation.”
To experience AISHA, all a consumer needs to do is purchase a Sproxil-protected product, authenticate it using the QR code or SMS method, and follow the WhatsApp link provided in the confirmation message.
With AISHA, Sproxil has launched more than just an AI Assistant. It has launched a healthcare revolution that puts reliable health information, peace of mind, and patient empowerment right into the hands of every Nigerian, inspiring a new wave of informed, connected healthcare engagement across the country.
