Problem
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing burden across Africa, yet early detection remains limited by high diagnostic costs, long turnaround times, and insufficient access to screening services, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Late diagnosis leads to worse health outcomes and higher treatment costs for individuals and health systems.
Solution
EDPU Africa CBC provides AI-supported screening and early detection services for NCDs, making preventive care more accessible and affordable. The company uses a digital questionnaire designed in line with WHO guidelines, combined with less invasive diagnostic tests such as spirometry for respiratory risks, Feco-Test for colon cancer, and electrocardiograms for cardiovascular conditions. AI generates risk assessments and health insights, with human oversight maintained in all clinical decisions. Results are compiled into digital personal health records, and anonymized dashboards provide public health insights for stakeholders. EDPU Africa also trains healthcare professionals in digital health solutions and partners with government and insurers to expand reach.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individuals across Rwanda and Africa seeking NCD screening, as well as healthcare professionals, government health programs, and insurers looking for scalable early detection and prevention solutions.
