On September 25th, Andrew Shawa delivered an impactful presentation at the CyberTech Conference 2024, focusing on lightweight AI-powered DICOM viewers for remote and low-resource settings in Zambia. The conference, centered around the theme "Spearheading Solutions for Secure Futures", provided an ideal platform for Andrew to showcase innovative approaches to addressing healthcare gaps through offline AI technologies.
His presentation detailed how this AI-based DICOM viewer could revolutionize healthcare in Zambia by providing essential diagnostic tools to rural areas lacking radiologists and reliable internet access. Designed for low-spec hardware, the tool offers semi-automated image interpretation, empowering general practitioners and radiographers in remote settings to make informed diagnostic decisions.
Andrew's participation at CyberTech 2024 not only highlighted the potential of AI in improving global health but also initiated valuable discussions on the future of secure, scalable healthcare solutions in underserved regions.
