Why it matters
In many clinics a nurse works through a long queue alone, seeing conditions that call for a doctor’s judgement, on a connection that fails whenever the power does. Cloud AI is of little use to her when the network drops.
What Sankofa Clinic does
Sankofa Clinic is edge AI in the consulting room. A small device beside the clinician runs the national primary-care guidelines and an AI model, giving each consultation expert support even when the outside connection is unreliable. During the consultation Sankofa Clinic checks each diagnosis, every medicine and its interactions, and flags the warning signs that call for urgent referral. Whenever a connection is available, a hub serving the clinics in a district updates every device and uploads data to Sankofa Core. Clinicians make every decision, supported by the power of local edge AI.
