There are always new frontiers in medical technology and device innovation that can enhance healthcare delivery, especially in resource-constrained environments like Africa. As pioneers of digital health, the African Digital Health Research Institute (ADHRI) is committed to evaluating and strategically integrating promising innovative medical technologies and devices such as:

Point-of-Care Diagnostic Devices - Portable, easy-to-use devices for rapid diagnostics and testing at the point-of-care, rather than sending samples to labs. This improves outcomes through faster diagnosis.

Wearable Sensors - Devices worn by patients to continuously monitor health signals like temperature, glucose, cardiac activity, etc. This enables remote monitoring and telemedicine.

Mobile Ultrasound Scanners - Portable, durable ultrasound devices that run on batteries allow diagnoses in remote areas without stable electricity. This improves maternal and neonatal care.

AI-Supported Imaging Diagnostics - AI can analyze X-ray, MRI, and CT scan images to improve detection of abnormalities and support diagnostics. This makes imaging access more impactful.

3D-Printed Medical Equipment - 3D printing allows customized, low-cost production of medical tools like tourniquets, prosthetics, or bone implants on-demand. This empowers local manufacturing.

High-Efficiency Water Filtration - Innovations in nanotechnology and membranes allow effective filtering of pathogens from water using low-energy methods. This provides clean water access.

ADHRI will identify highly promising technologies like these through research, pilots, and partnerships. Rigorous, context-specific validation will drive adoption and integration with healthcare workflows. By pursuing cutting-edge innovation, ADHRI aims to make quality healthcare more accessible and affordable across Africa.
