How AI is helping cancer patients

Founded in 2021, Hurone trained Gukiza on open-source patient databases to recognize the progression and side effects of various forms of cancer. 

By monitoring patients remotely in what Kingsley Ndoh, Hurone’s founder, calls “underrepresented populations,” the AI is designed to feed doctors with real-time data.

Best AI investments for healthcare

Hurone AI is a precision-care startup that allows doctors and patients to communicate through auto-generated text message prompts about symptoms. Hurone AI’s models predict the likelihood of severe side effects. 

The Hurone AI Story

Hurone AI’s platform, Gukiza, augments the oncologist. Gukiza means healing in Kinyarwanda, one of the official languages of Rwanda, where the platform is being tested.

Clinicians can see the status of their patients on a dashboard and customize pre-crafted messages.

How AI is accelerating cancer research

Hurone is integrating Amazon’s generative AI, known as Bedrock, to expand its personalized cancer treatment software for use by doctors at health systems in Nigeria, Kenya and Rwanda.

Closing the health equity gap

For example, in Seattle, Washington-based startup Hurone AI is democratizing access to high-quality cancer prevention and care. The company is building AI-powered applications derived from data sources and algorithms from people of African descent to bridge the gaps of cancer care outcomes.

How AI can Accelerate Progress on SDGs

Hurone AI, a startup that’s been using AI to improve treatment access for cancer patients in Kenya, Nigeria, and Rwanda, is now using Amazon Bedrock,  to build applications for oncology care.

Towards Better Cancer Outcomes

Hurone AI is a Seattle, Washington-based company that is building an AI-assisted application that can help oncologists in sub-Saharan Africa better detect and treat cancer.

41 Big Ideas for 2023

The world is running low on doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers. Even with the healthcare workforce expected to grow three times faster than the population, we’ll still need an additional 10 million clinicians by 2030…

Can Tech Build A More Equitable World?

“At Hurone AI, we emphasize the need to leverage diverse patient data in order to address the cancer care gap, advance health equity, and improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients around the world,” said Dr. Ndoh.
