Discover the “CardioPad” Africa’s first medical tablet
The young entrepreneur from Cameroon Arthur Zang, founder of Himore Medical, invented what is supposed to be the first medical tablet in Africa, which offers health professionals in rural areas to send cardiac test results to specialists in Base through a mobile phone connection.
This tablet allows to examine the ECG in remote rural areas and transfer the results to specialists who can be interpreted.
The other components of the kit are a set of four wireless electrodes and a sensor that attaches to the patient and transmits its signals via Bluetooth to the Cardio Pad. The kit performs a digitized electrocardiogram (ECG) conference of the patient’s cardiac function.
The health worker who takes this conference then transmits this information to a national data center. Once the ECG is received, a cardiologist conducts a diagnosis and referral to the center for transmission to the health worker.
