Health in Fragile Contexts Challenge
Rology
Strengthening health care access and resilience in fragile contexts through remote and AI-driven radiological diagnostics.
Solution Pitch
The Problem
Rology is addressing the problem of limited access to quality health care services, specifically diagnostic imaging, in the fragile contexts of Kenya and Egypt, where health systems are strained due to systemic inequities and weak governance. Globally, over 1.6 billion people are affected by such issues, leading to poor health outcomes.
The Solution
The platform works by connecting health facilities in Kenya and Egypt with a global network of radiologists. Medical images, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, are securely uploaded to the cloud, where they are processed by AI algorithms to identify potential anomalies and therefore, assist in diagnosis. Remote radiologists can then access the images, review the AI-generated insights, and provide their expert interpretation and recommendations.
Stats
- Successfully partnered with 150 underserved hospitals across 10 countries in Africa and the Middle East region, aiding in saving over 657,832 lives so far. This number represents the actual radiology reports that were diagnosed and delivered to the patients using the platform.
Market Opportunity
- Rology is currently working with 150 hospitals in nine countries in the MEA region.
The total addressable market (TAM) in the MEA region stands at $1.5 billion per year. Rology aims to capture a substantial portion of this market, which is the serviceable addressable market (SAM) of over $1.5 billion.
