The Problem

Africans make up approximately 17% of the world’s population, yet contribute less than 1% of the global healthcare data used to train today’s AI systems.

As artificial intelligence transforms healthcare worldwide, most models are built using data from high-income countries, failing to reflect Africa’s diverse populations, disease profiles, and clinical realities.

Accessing real African health data is slow, fragmented, and heavily restricted by privacy concerns, weak digital infrastructure, and regulatory barriers. This leaves local innovators without the data needed to build and validate solutions for their own communities.

But what if Africa could generate its own ethical synthetic health data?

Our Solution

Yes — we can generate ethical datasets that truly represent us, and that is through DataBridge.

DataBridge is building a secure platform that enables researchers and innovators to generate realistic, diverse, and ethical synthetic health data for research and machine learning — without exposing real patient information.

Users can define disease focus, data modality, and demographic characteristics to generate datasets that reflect African health contexts.

Our long-term goal is simple: to make ethical data generation as easy as the click of a button.
