Tech Front · Health
Health Front.
Diagnostics, last-mile delivery, mental health and health systems data — co-scoped with providers and ministries.
The challenge
Why this Front exists.
Health systems across the continent are under simultaneous pressure: a rising non-communicable disease burden, persistent infectious disease challenges, and the operational complexity of reaching last-mile populations.
The Health Front backs solutions that move past pilot fatigue — built with providers, deployed in their workflows, and measured by what changes for patients.
Where we're focusing
Briefs we're scoping with partners.
Diagnostics
Point-of-care, AI-assisted and lab-network tools that close the diagnostic gap.
Last-mile delivery
Drone, logistics and supply chain solutions for medicines and consumables.
Mental health
Digital and community-based tools for an underserved and rising burden.
Health systems data
Interoperability, EMRs and analytics that ministries can actually use.
How it runs
Six to nine months, from brief to deployment.
Challenge brief
Co-authored with sector partners who own the problem.
Cohort build
Selected teams prototype in context — not in a slide deck.
Field trial
Solutions tested with real users in real settings.
Procurement bridge
Working products handed to the partners who can buy them.
