It was announced today that American software and technology company, MegaHoot Technologies, Inc “MegaHoot”, has partnered with Kenya based artificial intelligence company SIHA Artificial Intelligence “SIHA AI” to develop and deploy state of the art mobile based precision point-of-care diagnostic solutions that are affordable and effective.
Early diagnosis is critical for the effective management of any disease, whether it is malaria or monkeypox. In Africa, this isn’t always possible due to the lack of affordable diagnostic solutions in low income areas; this impacts the ability of countries such as Kenya to bring diseases under control.
In Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda the testing laboratories stand in the major cities such as Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and Kampala. Access to diagnostic testing that is affordable and fast is key for rural areas in Kenya and the surrounding countries; this is something that doesn’t exist currently. SIHA AI is seeking to change that, the company has developed a state of the art mobile-based application for diagnostic testing that integrates deep learning algorithms and techniques, with state of the art computer vision to accomplish this.
“At SIHA Artificial Intelligence we are driven by the core desire to ensure that everyone has access to affordable diagnostic testing in Kenya. The SIHA AI mobile app intends to increase access to AI-driven, offline, hospital-grade diagnostic capabilities to communities who have limited access to traditional diagnostic testing services. We are excited to work with MegaHoot Technologies in order to integrate blockchain technology and additional artificial intelligence processes to bring SIHA AI platforms throughout Africa.” stated Marcel Masaga, Founder and CEO of SIHA Artificial Intelligence.
The system initially will focus on malaria but it will be scalable to include other diagnostic processes to detect various diseases on demand. This can be a real game changer for lower income areas and become an asset in combating the spread of diseases in Kenya and beyond. Access to affordable diagnostic testing saves lives, early detection is a key directive.
“We are excited about what Marcel has done with SIHA AI to date and we look forward to working closely with the company in order to achieve the goals they have set out. Affordable diagnostic testing shouldn’t be an option, it should be the norm, SIHA is looking to make that a reality.” stated Louis Velazquez, CEO of MegaHoot Technologies, Inc.
