telemedicine in Africa
Project context
We are the very young startup Kirinno Labs. We are working on the development of a high-speed telemedicine kit called the DiagnoKit that will help you stay at home.
All your donations will allow us to popularize telemedicine in Africa and if the first level of ** 5,000 € ** is not reached, your contributions will be reimbursed and we could unfortunately not develop the accessibility to health care. health in Africa.
A study of the health context in sub-Saharan Africa gives us the following results:
- Sub-Saharan Africa: ** 11% ** of the world's population
- Mortality rate in sub-Saharan Africa: ** 25% ** of global death rate
- Health budget of sub-Saharan African countries: ** less than 1% ** of global expenditure
- Health staff in sub-Saharan Africa: ** 0.21 doctors ** per 1000 inhabitants

About the project
The DiagnoKit whose patent has been granted by the OAPI (African Intellectual Property Organization), is a kit that promotes the acceleration of the delivery and analysis of data, while allowing the effective realization of several exams at a time.
It is easily transportable making it easy to care for and monitor patients at home with its powerful telemedicine tool. It is the essential material for any clinic and any doctor.
It has the following features:
- a high-speed telemedicine system
- an integrated compact printer for printing results if needed
- a 12-track electrocardiograph for the examination of the electrocardiogram to check the health of the heart
- a Spirometer to perform a spirometry test to check the functioning of the lungs
- a glucose meter for measuring the level of glucose in the blood
- a blood pressure monitor for taking blood pressure
- a Fetal Doppler to listen to the fetal heartbeat as early as 12 weeks of gestation
- a Pulse Oximeter to perform an oxygen saturation test in order to estimate the amount of oxygen in the blood and check the risk of hypoxemia
- a thermometer for taking the temperature
- an integrated medical questionnaire
- An integrated intelligent system that automatically pre-diagnoses the patient's state of health with some useful tips.
- a Solar Panel to overcome the energy deficit

The DiagnoKit, will remotely transmit the test data to a doctor who can react to any alert. The doctor makes a prescription that is sent remotely to the patient who can then use it for the necessary follow-up.
It is a kit that allows you to do a lot of exams but also and especially that brings closer care of people who often do not see a doctor for various reasons.
Project Initiator
Kirinno Labs is a young, leading startup in Africa offering a range of products in the environmental, health and services fields. In this sense we put all our passion and our commitment to design innovative solutions that will change the lives of thousands of people around the world.
Our needs
-We will manufacture other kit and extend the tele medicine service to other localities.
- We will acquire the necessary work for a service and a quality follow-up of the patients
- We will support our operating expenses and salary costs to focus much more on innovation.
- We will support our operating expenses and salary costs to focus much more on innovation.
- We will acquire a work room with a consultation room specialized only in telemedicine where the patient can come to have exams done by our medical staff and benefit from teleconsultation and remote assistance.
- We will open several branches in other major cities of Cameroon or Africa.
- Recruit a minimum of staff for these antennas with the necessary work

Social Impact

Faq
The project will, among other things:
1. to improve the regular monitoring of certain medical and biological parameters of people, in order to adjust poorly adapted treatment and avoid certain complications in the case of chronic pathologies, such as diabetes, hypertension or in the case cardiovascular and respiratory problems
2. reduce queues in hospitals
3. Use the skills of other specialists from anywhere in the world.
4. There is a lack of doctors in areas that are difficult to access and clinics that do not have specialist doctors.
Imagine a patient in an inaccessible area or just imagine a patient in an under-equipped clinic with equipment and human resources.
Teleconsultation and tele-assistance will send him care without his having to travel for long distances in an African environment of insufficient basic infrastructure and where the number of health manpower is lacking.
You understand that if this patient has to do 500Km for a simple consultation, it is obvious that he will not move unless the case is extremely critical ... still that...

Our goal is to make health care and especially specialist consultations accessible to as many people as possible and at a lower cost. At this stage we have finished with the prototype which has given satisfactory results and we are committing to the large-scale production phase.
We are a very young startup and we have already invested a lot of capital to make the different prototypes. We also invest a lot of money in payroll and for the operation of the startup. By involving you financially, your contributions will be used to:
1. Make other kits that will allow us to continue to popularize telemedicine in Cameroon in particular and in other African countries in general.
2. Support our operating expenses and salary costs to focus much more on innovation.
3. Have an adequate work space and a specialized consultation room only in the telemedicine where the patient can come to get exams by our medical staff and benefit from teleconsultation and tele-assistance
Even if you do not contribute, do not hesitate to leave a little message of encouragement to the team that fights daily to bring care closer to patients and is always working on more innovation in a very difficult economic context. Thank you sincerely from the entire team of the small startup Kirinno Labs.
