Across Kenya, preventable cardiac complications are often linked to delayed diagnosis, limited access to ECG equipment, and a shortage of specialist interpretation.

Expanding access to cardiac care

Founded by Dr. Alice Muhuhu, Aurora Health Systems develops AI-powered, portable ECG devices that bring real-time cardiac diagnostics closer to the point of care. The venture emerged from a gap Alice witnessed first-hand in public hospitals, where patients, especially women, faced serious and preventable complications because basic cardiac diagnostics were unavailable or delayed.

 

Shaped by both her clinical experience and personal loss from cardiovascular disease, Alice’s work is rooted in the belief that timely, life-saving care should not depend on where someone is born.

AI-powered diagnostics built for resource-limited settings

Aurora Health Systems combines affordable hardware, edge AI, and offline functionality in a device designed for environments with limited connectivity, power, and clinical expertise. Its portable ECG system supports 6-lead acquisition and can detect more than 50 cardiac conditions, enabling frontline healthcare workers to make faster and more accurate decisions without relying on cloud systems or specialist interpretation.

At the same time, this impact also addresses a major global data gap: less than 1% of ECG datasets represent African populations. Locally representative data improves diagnostic accuracy while building a valuable and underrepresented global health asset.
