Eyone Secures USD 1M for African Expansion
Eyone, a health tech disruptor from Senegal, has raised USD 1 million to redefine healthcare in Africa. Known for its digital health platforms, Eyone bridges the gap between patients and providers with innovative tools that streamline medical services.
“The coming months promise to be rich in innovations, strategic collaborations and large-scale deployments. We will continue to work towards a sustainable, inclusive and connected health ecosystem.”
Eyone Statement
The funding round, backed by prominent regional investors, Groupe Sonatel and Bicis Groupe Sunu, will support Eyone’s expansion into new African markets, product development, and integration of artificial intelligence.
Currently, Eyone offers tools like telemedicine apps and digital record systems. These products have already gained traction in Senegal, with users praising their accessibility and efficiency. All that led to a collaboration with the State of Senegal for the deployment of the Shared Single Patient Record.
Empowering Africa’s Health Ecosystem
In a continent where 50% of the population lacks access to essential health services, according to the WHO, Eyone’s tech-driven approach is timely. By offering scalable solutions tailored to local challenges, Eyone disrupts outdated healthcare models, making vital services more accessible and addressing key health care challenges.
Three practical steps to better health for Africans
This expansion aligns with the African Union’s digital transformation agenda, which emphasizes technology as a driver for health equity. With its roots in Senegal, Eyone has already impacted over 30,000 users, and this funding sets the stage for further growth.
Moreover, integrating AI will supercharge Eyone’s offerings. Predictive analytics, for example, could facilitate diagnostics, while automated systems improve efficiency. This positions Eyone as a competitive player in the African health tech market.
Smarter Healthcare for a Healthier Africa
Eyone’s vision is not limited to growth; it’s about creating a ripple effect of progress. By integrating AI, the startup aims to introduce personalized medicine, optimize patient outcomes, and reduce systemic inefficiencies.
This approach could significantly impact the ways healthcare is delivered in Africa, paving the way for predictive care and better resource allocation. As Eyone scales, it is pushing forward African innovation, proving that homegrown solutions can meet global challenges.
