Today I’ll be speaking with Darlington Akogo, a global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI). He's the founder and director of several AI startups including minoHealth ‒an AI healthtech company; karaAgro AI ‒an AI-powered precision agriculture platform; Runmila AI Institute ‒an AI and data science training institute, and Gudra AI Studio ‒an organization broadly exploring AI and exponential technologies applied to various domains including transportation, sanitation and energy. We talk specifically about his work with minoHealth AI Labs ‒an Accra-based startup that is pioneering the application of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare diagnostics and biomedical research across Africa. minoHealth AI Labs has developed a suite of cutting-edge AI-powered innovations. For example, its AI4Radiology system can automatically detect several medical conditions such as pneumonia and breast cancer from analyzing x-rays.
