Dr CADx

Dr CADx is a pioneering healthtech startup that has developed an AI-powered diagnostic system designed to revolutionize medical image analysis across Africa and beyond. Founded by Gift Gana and Tatenda Madzorera, the company leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze chest X-rays and detect critical conditions such as tuberculosis, lung cancer, pneumonia, and other pulmonary diseases. By serving as an intelligent second pair of eyes for radiologists and healthcare providers, Dr CADx addresses a critical gap in medical diagnostics, particularly in regions where access to specialized radiology expertise is limited or non-existent.

The company’s mission extends beyond technological innovation to tackle pressing healthcare challenges that disproportionately affect marginalized communities and underserved populations. Dr CADx’s scalable AI technology helps reduce diagnostic errors, speeds up patient triage, and significantly lowers the cost of medical screening programs. In areas where tuberculosis remains a major public health concern and where the radiologist-to-patient ratio is critically low, Dr CADx’s automated screening system enables healthcare workers to identify suspicious cases quickly and accurately, ensuring that patients receive timely treatment and reducing the burden of preventable deaths.

Committed to clinical validation and real-world impact, Dr CADx has attracted backing from respected investors including Ground Squirrel Ventures, Oui Capital, and The Baobab Network. The company has undergone rigorous clinical trials and continues to refine its algorithms to meet international medical standards. With a vision to democratize access to quality diagnostics across the African continent and beyond, Dr CADx represents a powerful convergence of artificial intelligence, healthcare delivery, and social impact—transforming how medical imaging is interpreted and making life-saving diagnostics accessible to millions who need it most.
