This week, as part of our Code to Care series on artificial intelligence in medicine, we’re exploring a critical question: Can AI help close the healthcare access gap in Africa — and if so, how?
To unpack this, we’re joined by Dr Ernest Darkoh, co-founder of Vantage Health Technologies and a long-standing advocate for digital innovation in public health.
From tackling HIV, TB, and COVID-19 to developing real-time data systems and predictive tools for frontline clinicians, Vantage Health is showing that AI can be more than just a buzzword — it can be a powerful driver of equity, efficiency, and smarter care.
In this episode, we explore how AI is strengthening clinical decision-making and improving patient follow-up in real-world contexts. We examine what value-based care looks like in resource-constrained settings, and why human-centred design is critical in building trust and driving adoption.
We also discuss how local innovation is reshaping African health systems from the ground up — and where AI-driven healthcare might be headed next.
Join us for this important conversation, and let’s turn Code to Care.
