AI Powered Decision Support Tool Being Used In A Kenyan Clinic
AI in Kenyan Healthcare: Local Startup’s Tool Reduces Diagnostic Errors by 16%
A new AI-powered diagnostic tool, developed by the Kenyan-based startup Easy Clinic, is making headlines for its ability to significantly reduce medical errors. The tool, called AI Consult, has been featured by OpenAI and is credited with cutting diagnostic errors by 16% and treatment errors by an even greater margin, according to an August 6th report by the news source CIO Africa.
The technology is an AI-powered decision support system that helps clinicians, especially in rural and under-resourced areas, to accurately identify diseases and recommend appropriate treatments.
This innovation is particularly impactful in a country like Kenya, where doctor shortages and limited access to diagnostic equipment are major challenges. By providing a reliable second opinion, AI Consult helps to improve the quality of healthcare and ultimately save lives.
The success of Easy Clinic’s AI tool is being hailed as a major step forward for healthtech in Africa, demonstrating the potential for locally developed solutions to address the continent’s most pressing challenges.
