What if a radiologist didn’t need to be in the hospital to save a patient’s life?

Ahead of this year's Africa Health Tech Summit, Dr. Hope sat with an innovator rethinking exactly that. Tom Kinyanjui is the Co-founder & CEO of Neural Labs Africa, and his AI-powered medical imaging platform NeuralSight lets radiologists review your scan without needing to be physically in the hospital. This means a hospital that used to do imaging once a week (because that's the only day the radiologist came in) can now turn it around anytime.

In this episode:

→ Tom compares healthcare AI in Africa to the rise of mobile money and what "edge AI" could do for a continent with patchy connectivity

→ Around 60% of scans radiologists review turn out to be false positives. How NeuralSight's AI triage helps flag the most urgent of images first.

→ Their collaboration with Amref to push point-of-care ultrasound for maternal health, so moms get real-time answers instead of waiting

→ Why you should probably have a copy of your own medical images and what that means for the future of precision medicine on the continent

→ Tom's honest rating of the healthcare system, and the one "health rule" he thinks you can break guilt-free

This conversation felt especially timely with Africa Health Tech Summit coming up; a good reminder of the kind of homegrown innovation already solving real problems on the ground.
