A tech group in Ghana, led by young innovators, has developed a cutting-edge tool that uses artificial intelligence to diagnose ailments as part of efforts to improve access to quality, affordable health care in the country. The diagnostic tool, which has been certified by the Food and Drug Authority, analyses uploaded scanned images to detect and diagnose ailments. The team developed the diagnostic tool two years ago but has revamped it this year to make it more efficient. It can generate a medical report, prescribe medications, and also recommend treatment procedures, easing the work load of radiologists at health care facilities. All reports generated by the AI tool are also assessed by clinicians.
