The Project will create a new economy of scale for the care of a Million Patients in Africa

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2023 / CarePoint, formerly Africa Health Holdings, committed to championing healthcare reform in Africa, announced an agreement today to partner with Akila Labs, Inc., a leading biotechnical R&D and innovation startup, to create a “Digital Highway for Health.” This Digital Highway for Health will be a patient-centered platform that will provide a first-of-its-kind, uniquely scalable, and personal advanced healthcare omni system designed to service geographically diverse populations. It will be powered by Akila Labs’ deep biomedical and clinical expertise paired with next-level, digital analytics, AI, and Machine Learning unique to the platform

The Digital Highway for Health will allow CarePoint’s sixty-five facilities across four countries with disparate technologies to seamlessly connect them and become interoperable. This will ensure better patient data management and eliminate the need for time-consuming integrations. The platform will supportCarepoint’s continued growth and its ability to add new facilities across Africa without incurring prohibitive IT costs – while providing world-class technology-driven care to its patients.

Dr. Sangu Delle, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CarePoint, said, “Africa is the next global frontier for healthcare, and our goal is to build Africa’s healthcare future. This Digital Highway for Health will enable us to achieve economies of scale with greater ease and speed. The one million patients we treat each year will be able to access care in any of our facilities. They will even have the care extended to their homes using telemedicine and other digital health tools enabled by the Digital Highway. The platform will accelerate our goal of bringing personalized medicine and care built on Akila’s Behavioral AI technology to everyone on the continent.”

“Healthcare platforms need to be built around the needs of the patient,” said Prakash Hosalli, CEO of Akila Labs. “The build-out of the platform will begin by understanding our patients with our ‘KYP’ (‘Know Your Patient’) feature. We can use our behavioral AI embedded in the platform to help one million CarePoint patients improve their health outcomes and quality of life.”

“Akila Labs’ active partnership in the fulfillment of our Digital Highway to Health initiative solves all our integration, data sharing, curation, and storage problems while providing us with state-of-the-art AI and advanced technologies to deliver better care — without having to train hundreds of employees on new programs,” said Patrick Dasoberi, Chief Technology Officer of CarePoint. “Every facility has to follow its country’s medical regulations. With this platform, each facility can be responsive to its country’s changing regulations without modifying the software used by facilities in other countries. This will enable us to operate more efficiently, now and in the future.”
