In a continent often overlooked in tech conversations, Ghanaian innovator Darlington Akogo is rewriting the narrative. His company Mino Health has deployed Moremi bioagent — an AI-powered diagnostic tool now operational in over 50 countries — demonstrating Africa's growing influence in ethical artificial intelligence development.
Akogo's journey from Accra to global tech stages mirrors Africa's digital transformation. "We're proving advanced AI solutions can emerge from the Global South while prioritizing accessibility," Akogo told KhabarAsia.com this week. The Moremi system analyzes medical data 40% faster than conventional methods according to peer-reviewed studies, with particular success in early cancer detection.
Business analysts note Mino Health's $28 million Series B funding this year signals growing investor confidence in African-led deep tech. The company maintains partnerships with major European and Asian healthcare providers while expanding rural diagnostic access across West Africa.
For academic researchers tracking AI ethics, Akogo's framework for bias-free medical algorithms offers a model for emerging markets. As Asian nations increase health tech collaborations with African innovators, Akogo's work exemplifies South-South technological cooperation reshaping global innovation landscapes.
