African Ingenuity
24 Year old Cameroonian builds the first fully touch screen medical tablet in Africa
A young Cameroonian engineer has built the first fully touch screen medical tablet that could soon save many African lives. He first has to find the necessary funding to mass-produce the device. In a country that has only 30 heart surgeons for more than 20 million people, the dream of Arthur Zang, a 24-year-old Cameroonian engineer, is to facilitate the treatment of patients with a heart disease across Cameroon.
A young Cameroonian engineer, Arthur Zang, has built the first fully touch screen medical tablet that could soon save many African lives. However, he needs funding to mass-produce the device. Sadly, the country has only 30 heart surgeons for more than 20 million people. Nevertheless, the dream of Arthur Zang, a 24-year-old Cameroonian engineer, is to facilitate the treatment of patients with heart disease across Cameroon.
Save lives
In 2010, he created a digital tablet known as Cardiopad: “It’s the first fully touch screen medical tablet made in Cameroon and in Africa. It’s an invention that could save numerous human lives”, explains Arthur Zang. In fact, Cameroon’s thirty heart specialists are all based in either Douala or Yaoundé, the country’s economic and political capitals. Heart patients often have to travel across the country for a consultation. Appointments sometimes must be made months in advance, leading to the death of some patients.
