I’m a mammographer and radiographer by trade and have worked in the industry for 15 years.
I started lecturing following my Masters and PhD at University of Pretoria
I have found an absolute love for teaching and to encourage students to live their passion daily. I am encouraging curious minds in the space of AI for the health care sector as the need for future inventors and key role players is ever increasing. I am an avid advocate for breast education and awareness, and for that reason I have started a Breast cancer Non-profit in 2015, which had humble beginnings of 40 women, and now has an online presence of over 200 000 women, spreading across Africa.
My recent PhD research has led to local and international interest of a patent pending algorithm, now embedded as an AI and Deep machine learning system able to identify, segment and predict the differential diagnosis of a breast cancer. This can be used in urban and, rural clinics, since the wireless handheld ultrasound probe is Wi-Fi embedded and 65 % more cost effective than current market leaders.
Our company, MedSol AI Solutions, has worked alongside TIA, Innovation Hub, TWIGA, SAB Foundation, to name a few.
Our product is being launched at SAPHEX in April 2022, where we plan to disrupt both the technical and education space by putting patients first. We have international prospects to expand to France and Tanzania in the near future.
