AISAP, a leader in AI Point-of-Care Diagnostics, announced a landmark initiative in Ghana deploying its FDA-cleared AI cardiac diagnosis platform to support the country’s first nationwide training program for cardiac sonographers. In collaboration with the G-ACT Foundation, AISAP is creating a global model for bringing expert-level cardiac diagnostics to underserved communities.
Ghana faces a severe shortage of cardiologists—fewer than 30 serve its 35 million citizens. AISAP’s deployment demonstrates how its platform can bridge this gap, offering a scalable blueprint for the U.S., where nearly half of all counties lack a practicing cardiologist.
“AISAP brings world-class AI diagnostic capability that accelerates training, safeguards quality, and ensures every scan counts,” said Dr. Alexis K. Okoh, Executive Chairman of the G-ACT Foundation. “This partnership sets a new standard for accessible cardiovascular care across Ghana.”
“This project embodies our mission—access to advanced cardiac care should not depend on geography,” said Adiel Am-Shalom, CEO of AISAP. “We’re using the same FDA-cleared technology trusted by U.S. hospitals across Ghana’s frontlines. It’s proof that AISAP can help solve diagnostic shortages for rural U.S. hospitals.”
Developed with Sheba Medical Center, AISAP’s Point-of-Care Assisted Diagnosis (POCAD) platform uses deep learning trained on over 300,000 echocardiogram studies and 24 million video clips. It delivers real-time, expert-grade cardiac interpretation, including an Urgency Score for prioritizing cases and Quality Assurance guidance for non-specialists. The platform is already used by top U.S. institutions including Mayo Clinic, Stanford, and Mass General Brigham.
Vendor-agnostic and cloud-based, POCAD connects to any portable ultrasound device, requiring only internet access to upload images to a secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud. While cardiac care is its first application, AISAP is developing additional diagnostic capabilities.
The Ghana deployment is part of the G-ACT Foundation’s BEAT Program (Building Echo-capacity for Access & Triage), the nation’s first structured cardiac sonographer training initiative designed to create certified professionals to close Ghana’s echocardiography gap.
Prof. Yaw A. Wiafe of Kwame Nkrumah University said, “AISAP’s technology removes barriers to care and delivers immediate impact for our citizens.”
AISAP LTD’s mission is to transform healthcare through AI-powered, point-of-care diagnostics that make specialist-level insights available anywhere, from hospitals to rural clinics.
