1. Arthur Zang In a country where access to healthcare is a great worry especially in rural areas, Cameroonian engineer, Arthur Zang developed Africa’s first handheld medical
computer (Cardiopad) tablet that helps diagnose people with heart disease. The 25 centimeter touch-screen medical tablet enables health workers to perform cardiac tests such as electrocardiograms at far
away remote areas and beyond. The
reports are then sent wirelessly to doctors via the Internet for interpretation. Arthurs’ Cardiopad has been validated by the Cameroonian scientific community as
extremely effective and it is currently undergoing trials in a number of medical hospitals in Cameroon.
2. Verone Mankou In today’s contemporary Africa, daily life activity is gradually moving towards technology. It is with this regard that Verone Mankou of the Republic of Congo invented the Way-C tablet, the first African iPad rival. The Way-C Tablet is affordable and available in Congo. According to Mankou, his invention is to bring Internet access to as many people as possible. Additionally, he is also known for creating the Elikia smartphones. 3. Morris Mbetsa Development and urbanization come with all sort of challenges, especially security.
Morris Mbetsa of Kenya, in fighting this challenge, invented an anti-theft device known as the Block and Track. Although similar to existing technology, the SMS- based vehicle security system allows car owners to monitor their vehicles from a distance. With the Block and Track
technology, car owners can lock their car doors or stop their car when it is stolen via an sms.
4. Richard Turere
Tired of Lions attacking his family's
cattle, Kenyan Richard Turere, invented the Lion Light, an automated lighting system of five torch bulbs around a cattle stockade. The bulbs were wired to a box with switches and to an old car battery
charged with a solar panel that operated his family’s television set. Turere had observed lions and found out that they are naturally afraid of people. The lights which flashed in sequence, gave the impression that someone was walking around the
stockade. Since then, no lions have
attacked again. Following the success, Turere installed the same Lion Lights for his neighbors.
5. William Kamkwamba Malawian innovator, William Kamkwamba,
built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scrap parts after he dropped out of school aged 14. His windmill did not only provide electricity, but also provided water to his home in rural Malawi. Since then, he has built a solar-powered water pump that supplies the first drinking water in his village and
two other windmills. His autobiography,
“The boy who harnessed the wind,” was selected as a required book for all incoming students at the Auburn University.
