We are interested in solutions to overcome these obstacles, such as mobile clinics, telemedicine, and drone technology. Join the action by applying here to ensure your solution reaches the right market and is implemented where the need is high.

Women's health

Women’s health encounters significant issues such as inadequate prenatal care, limited access to contraception, and insufficient screening and treatment for reproductive health concerns like endometriosis and cervical cancer. We are interested in solutions to overcome these obstacles, such as platforms enabling women to consult healthcare providers, receive medical advice, and undergo screenings and diagnostic tests, including point-of-care ultrasound devices and rapid tests for early detection and treatment. Initiatives focusing on education, counseling, and basic healthcare services are also needed to raise awareness about reproductive health, family planning, maternal health , and providing essential prenatal and postnatal care to pregnant women. If your solutions meet these needs, apply to our initiative and contribute to improve women’s healthcare where it is most needed.

Infantil diseases

Infantile diseases present significant challenges, including respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, dermatological issues, and malnutrition. We are looking for solutions to tackle this urgent need, such as rapid diagnostic tests for common infantile illnesses, affordable treatments, and intelligent algorithms to aid in timely intervention. Solutions related to education and counseling for parents and caregivers are also needed to raise awareness about preventive measures and early detection options. Apply if your solution fits within the scope of what we are seeking.
