Superbugs vs AI: ZeroX - The Startup Building Africa’s Health Infrastructure

Описание: Antimicrobial resistance is a systems failure — not just a prescribing problem.

Olivier Niyonshima, Founder of ZeroX Intelligence and Medikal Africa, explains how NVIDIA-backed edge AI infrastructure is transforming healthcare across Africa.

Olivier Niyonshima ( https://olivierniyonshima.com/ ) is the Founder and CEO of ZeroX Intelligence ( https://zeroxintelligence.com/ ), a Rwandan–Canadian AI company focused on building practical, production-grade technology for healthcare, agriculture, and education across Africa.

He leads Medikal Africa ( https://www.medikalafrica.com/ ), an AI-powered clinical intelligence platform designed to combat antimicrobial resistance and strengthen digital health systems in real-world African healthcare environments. Rather than treating AMR as an awareness problem, Olivier approaches it as a systems failure—one driven by delayed diagnostics, fragmented data, and weak decision support—and is building infrastructure to fix that.

Olivier’s work has been recognized globally. Medikal Africa is an NVIDIA Inception Startup, selected after technical and product review for its work in GPU-accelerated, edge-first healthcare AI. He also serves as a Youth Digital Health Champion with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, contributing to continental digital health strategy, policy dialogue, and systems strengthening.

Through ZeroX Intelligence, Olivier is also leading on-the-ground healthcare infrastructure initiatives, including the deployment of autonomous UV-C disinfection robotics to improve infection prevention in clinical settings. His work is grounded in a clear mission: ensuring Africa doesn’t just host pilots or consume technology, but leads in building scalable systems that work in real conditions.
