AISAP, an Israeli medical technology company, is rolling out a major international program designed to improve access to advanced diagnostic tools across Africa. The initiative is already making a meaningful impact in Ghana, where AISAP’s AI-powered ultrasound technology is being introduced in clinics and hospitals.
Healthcare workers in Ghana are now able to perform real-time cardiac ultrasound scans using portable devices supported by artificial intelligence. This allows for precise heart assessments even in areas with limited medical resources or few specialist doctors.
AISAP teams on the ground are conducting thousands of cardiovascular screenings across multiple health facilities, with a focus on early detection of common heart conditions such as heart failure and valvular disease. The goal is to identify issues early so patients receive timely care that can prevent severe complications.
A Partnership Strengthening Local Health Systems
This effort is being implemented in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Community Transformation (G-ACT), with support from Israel’s Sheba Medical Center and its innovation hub, ARC. The project is also part of a broader global partnership with medical and academic institutions in the United States, all working together to bring advanced diagnostic solutions to underserved communities across Africa.
There are already plans to expand the program to additional African regions by 2026. This will also open doors for new research on how AI can support early diagnosis of heart disease in low-resource settings, working alongside international organizations and regional health institutions.
Transforming Heart Care Through AI
AISAP’s ultrasound system, which has been cleared by the U.S. FDA, uses artificial intelligence to automatically interpret cardiac scans. The technology works with portable devices, allowing frontline healthcare workers to capture and analyze heart images without needing direct access to a cardiologist.
This model is reshaping how cardiac care is delivered by giving local clinicians expert-level guidance instantly, reducing reliance on large hospitals or specialist centers.
Closing the Gap in Rural Healthcare
Access to quality healthcare in Ghana—much like in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa—remains challenging, especially in remote and rural areas. A shortage of trained specialists, limited diagnostic equipment, and long travel distances to hospitals make early detection of chronic conditions difficult.
As a result, diseases like heart failure often go undiagnosed until they become severe. Initiatives like AISAP’s AI-driven diagnostics aim to close this gap by bringing advanced medical tools directly to the communities that need them most.
A Commitment to Fair and Accessible Healthcare
“This initiative reflects our core mission: ensuring that geography does not determine who receives high-quality cardiac care,” said Adiel Am-Shalom, CEO of AISAP.
He emphasized that the same FDA-cleared technology used in major U.S. hospitals is now strengthening frontline healthcare in Ghana. With AISAP’s cloud-based platform providing specialist-level insights, the company hopes to bridge diagnostic gaps not only in Africa but also in rural areas of the United States where cardiologists are in short supply.
