When Emmanuel Egbroko founded Inocul8, he set out to close a dangerous gap in Nigeria’s healthcare system: the lack of access to timely preventive care. Inocul8 is a digital health platform that delivers early health screenings, educational tools, and access to care — empowering users to take charge of their well-being before issues escalate.
To grow his impact, Egbroko joined the Master of Business Creation (MBC) Global program at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business. The program provides founders with one-on-one mentorship, applied business curriculum, and dedicated support from student teams.
Through the MBC program, Egbroko collaborated with student consultants to refine Inocul8’s marketing strategy. Together, they launched the “Stay Protected Always” campaign to test digital messaging across user segments and boost engagement through targeted social media efforts.
“Inocul8 started as a response to the lack of timely access to preventive care,” Egbroko said. “We wanted to create something that empowered people to take charge of their health before things became urgent.”
The startup is addressing two major challenges in West Africa’s healthcare system: accessibility and affordability. Designed to meet users digitally, the platform offers mobile-based tools that support regular checkups, promote healthier habits, and improve access to early-stage medical guidance.
“We believe that prevention is not just better, but more affordable and impactful than a cure,” Egbroko explained. “Our mission is to meet people where they are — digitally — and offer simple tools that encourage regular checkups and healthier daily habits.”
Still in its early growth phase, Inocul8 has already launched multiple ad campaigns and is integrating analytics to optimize its outreach. “We’re learning every day,” Egbroko said. “The goal is to listen to the data and the users, and keep evolving.”
Looking ahead, Egbroko envisions Inocul8 partnering with schools, employers, and local organizations to make preventive health the norm across West Africa. He also hopes to introduce gamified wellness tools and expand collaborations with care providers to reach underserved communities.
“There’s still so much work to be done,” he added. “But I believe in starting small and building sustainably. If we can help even a few people take their health more seriously, that’s a win.”
