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: โItโs the first fully touch screen medical tablet made in Cameroon and in Africa. Itโs an invention that could save numerous human livesโ, explains Arthur Zang. In fact, Cameroonโs thirty heart specialists are all based in either Douala or Yaoundรฉ, the countryโs 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.
