Digital medicine to revolutionise healthcare in the Global South

The Else Kröner Fresenius Foundation is providing 1.7 million euros in funding for four projects that use digital technologies to improve healthcare in resource-poor countries. In Zambia, a telemedicine programme is strengthening the care of neurological diseases and another project is using a smartphone app for eye diagnostics in schools and communities.

In Malawi, digital emergency guidelines are being developed to ensure faster and standardised help for children in an emergency. And in India, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Ghana, an AI-supported examination is being developed to recognise diabetic eye damage at an early stage and prevent blindness. The foundation is thus focussing on solutions that have a measurable impact, can be integrated into everyday clinical practice and, above all, have the potential to be used on a large scale in the long term.
