                 Abstract. As per a previous study “Healthcare systems can use the telemedi-
                 cine paradigm or traditional direct care approach to deliver health services to
                 the population and an Agile healthcare, learning from the agile software devel-
                 opment methodology, seems to be an approach today to face the complexity of
                 healthcare delivery.” The present work is a follow-up of the previous work that
                 aims at implementing a speech-based Agile Healthcare solution in order to
                 boost and improve a collaborative work between health care professionals and
                 traditional healers, who are mainly illiterate.
                 The proposed, designed, and implemented solution is a full-fledged medical
                 practice that brings together isolated health workers and urban-based specialists
                 through an adapted speech-based scrum board in a multidisciplinary remote
                 health care delivery system. Rural health workers can, for example, send to spe-
                 cialist surgeons the contents of their patient notes, lesion photos, X-rays and be
                 remotely accompanied in diagnosing and treatment. This linking is intended to
                 facilitate or improve the accessibility, quality and effectiveness of medical care.
                 The main aspect and novelty of the system are to use speech-based scrum board
                 to enable traditional healer’s inclusion in to a telehealthcare system.
                 This is an ongoing work. Action-based research and testing are ongoing too and
                 will be reported at the conference.

                 Keywords: Agile healthcare, Multimodality, Scrum board, Inclusion, Speech-
                 based solution, Health care accessibility.
