Understanding the need
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose major health problems across Africa. With 46% of all fatalities in Africa expected to be attributed to NCDs by 2030, it is clear there is a need to better manage patients with these conditions. But how can this be done when many nations across Africa face the challenge of stretched clinical resources and reduced access to care?
Our focus
We will show how remote patient monitoring technology can help to:
- Increase access to quality healthcare by connecting patients to their clinical team remotely
- Improve clinical capacity by prioritising urgent cases, preventing unnecessary complications or deterioration
- Efficiently and effectively manage people across Africa with NCDs, using data and learnings from national, regional and global digital health projects
Speakers
- Heyn Van Rooyen - Sector Director - Africa | UK Government Department for Business and Trade
- Japie De Jongh - CEO, Synaxon (South Africa)

- Dr Elton Afari - CEO, Equity Health Insurance (Ghana)
- Chris Barker - CEO, Spirit Health (UK)
- Bruce Adams, Managing Director, Clinitouch (UK)

What is remote patient monitoring?
Remote patient monitoring is a way for healthcare teams to track and manage patients' health conditions from any location. Patients use devices such as Clinitouch to combine patient health questionnaires and vital signs monitoring such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation to measure their health data at home. This data is then sent to their healthcare team, who can monitor their condition, provide guidance, and intervene with treatment sooner where necessary, all without the patient having to visit the clinic or hospital.
The Clinitouch platform is backed by proven successes in the UK’s NHS for over a decade and is now being used to power several digital health projects across the globe including South Africa, Namibia and Ghana.
