Stratégies Data
Reliance Health (www.reliancehealthinc.co) has a singular mission, making healthcare affordable and accessible for as many people in Africa as possible with the use of technology and data. Africa has among the world’s worst health indicators, from maternal mortality rates similar to those of the western world hundreds of years ago to the fact that over 30% of families are one serious illness away from tipping into poverty.
Compounding this is the severe exodus of highly trained medical personnel like doctors and nurses from their home countries to fill the healthcare shortages of more developed countries in the west.
As in the paragraph above, data is typically used to paint a picture of how dire the healthcare situation in Africa is. However, Reliance Health is flipping the script on this and working to use data to provide healthcare that is cost effective, sustainable and scaleable.
Over the last year, the company has been working closely with BAAMTU Datamation to create a data infrastructure that makes use of the masses of data it has access to via its day to day operations. The company has expanded it’s resources in data science and analytics to search out actionable insights into how to improve it’s healthcare offerings
as well as invested into building machine learning algorithms for automating claims management, fraud detection and automating customer support.
In this session, Dr Femi Kuti, CEO and Cofounder of Reliance Health will talk about the company’s vision and decision to go deep on data, how it has worked to execute this vision and what he sees as the future of data in healthcare across the African continent and beyond.
