AFRICAI-RI is a transformative initiative bringing together partners from ten Sub-Saharan African countries and four leading European institutions to create Africa’s first federated medical imaging infrastructure. By securely connecting imaging data, expertise and technology, the project aims to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence solutions that support the diagnosis of major respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia.
AI for medical imaging is growing rapidly worldwide, but most tools are not adapted to low-resource settings
Africa has rich clinical expertise but limited imaging datasets for training safe and effective AI tools
Many healthcare facilities face shortages of radiologists and imaging specialists skilled in interpreting scans
Respiratory diseases remain among the top causes of illness and death in Africa
Be part of Africa’s imaging and AI future, building capacity, confidence and collaboration
