I have a master 2 in Infrmatique, specialty: Web and knowledge engineering at the university Djilalli Liabes of Sidi Bel Abbes in Algeria.

I'm living in Mali in which country i decided to help people through my skills in IoT, Apps development and Robotics.

So i came into entrepreneuship in 2018 and cofounded 2 startups and also I'm a founding partner in a startup providing access to legal services, online lawyers : DROITDIRECT SARL  :  https://www.droitdirect.com, Zozani Sarl and Ewaati Sarl.

I am part of a space equipped with robotic and digital tools, to allow young people to imagine and create, through technologies, solutions to the challenges of Mali.

The objective is to quickly remedy the lack of artificial respirators (less than 60 artificial respirators for a population of more than 20 million inhabitants in Mali), essential equipment in the care of people with respiratory difficulties.
 We have designed a prototype artificial ventilator with the assistance of doctors from the intensive care center in Bamako.
And with this ability to design respirators made in Mali, we plan to set up a start-up, specializing in the design of medical equipment for health facilities in Mali and for other countries of sub-Saharan Africa.

Hospitals around the world are worried about running out of artificial respirators as they face a disease that weakens the respiratory systems of the most vulnerable.
With the advent of Covid-19, we immediately became aware of the lack of ventilators in Mali (less than 60 artificial respirators for a population of more than 20 million inhabitants in Mali) and other countries of sub-Saharan Africa, a lack of essential equipment in the care of the sick, but not only our ability to respond to it.

We have a space equipped with robotic and digital tools (arduino kits, raspberry Pi, other electronic components) which allowed us to design our first prototype of this ventilator made in Mali.

Our solution is technological in nature and can help keep several people alive throughout the world.

Our artificial respirator is made in Mali by young Malian autodidacts.

The artificial respirator ventilates the lungs artificially. It meets the needs of patients in respiratory distress. The respirator dedicated to strictly medical use.

And with this artificial respirator solution, we intend to quickly make up for the lack of artificial respirators and medical equipment in sub-Saharan Africa.

Our respirator, which can be controlled by a mobile application, has several strengths, including:

• autonomy: with an integrated internal battery, and a version which will be developed by integrating recharging by solar panel of the battery;
• mobility: transportable by paramedics.

The artificial respirator ventilates the lungs artificially. It meets the needs of patients in respiratory distress.

Our project consists in designing local and accessible solutions to limit the spread of the covid. But also it is essential for us to provide health actors with equipment that will allow them to treat infected people.

We went to the resuscitation center of the largest University and hospital center in Mali (Point G) with our first prototype and since then have worked together for the new models of respirator.

We are in the clinical testing phase to achieve end use in the coming weeks.
In the near future, there will be research to integrate more complex advanced ventilatory modes in order to respond to important research subjects.

This highly contagious covid-19 violently impacts all health systems and represents an unprecedented danger to economies. Mali is not spared. 

The pandemic is added to the list of many challenges to be overcome in our already fragile countries. 

There is an urgent need to act and find local and accessible solutions to fight this virus. So it was essential for us to provide health actors with equipment that will allow them to treat infected people.

I am a Malian who did university studies in computer science in Algeria. With the advent of covid-19, the fact of realizing the lack of essential medical equipment not only for the treatment of people infected with covid-19 but also of other patients suffering from other diseases in my country. really disappointed. Seeing the helplessness of the government and the desolation of the people, I put myself with my colleagues in the design of innovative solutions to support the fight against the spread of covi-19.

I have a master 2 in Infrmatique, specialty: Web and knowledge engineering at the university Djilalli Liabes of Sidi Bel Abbes in Algeria.

I skilled in IoT (Internet of things), Apps development and Robotics.

I manage a fablab in Bamako :donifab

The Donifab is a FabLab, that is to say a digital manufacturing laboratory, based in Bamako and initiated by the DoniLab incubator. It serves as a place to learn and experiment with new technologies.

Concretely, it is a space equipped with robotics tools
and digital, to allow young people to imagine and create solutions to the challenges of Mali through technology.

In 2019, we developed more than 15 innovations in the fields of health, human resources management, agriculture, and even automotive safety. Especially:

- eWaati Sarl: robotic startup for designing solutions based IoT (Intent Of Things) help the human resources of other companies in Mali to optimize their personnel management in complete transparency. Official created last month ago.
- Smart Flood Alert: A flood alert system to alert residents of a possible flood by triggering a siren and automatically sending sms to the nearest civil protection center.
- Hand Wash mini: an intelligent hand washing device without touching any surface. A fairly delicate process in periods of pandemics like covid-19.

We are a team of 4 self-taught people in electronics and embedded systems. We operate mostly on our own funds. We developed more than 15 innovations in the fields of health, human resources management, agriculture, and even automotive safety.

We are a team of 4 self-taught people in electronics and embedded systems.

Our respirator, which can be controlled by a mobile application, has several strengths, including autonomy, mobility and prediction.

• autonomy: with an integrated internal battery, and a version which will be developed by integrating recharging by solar panel of the battery;
• mobility: transportable by paramedics.

Our solution is technological in nature and can help keep several people around the world alive.

The nature of our solution makes it's a replicate solution in several countries.

We are in the clinical testing phase to achieve end use in the coming weeks.

The fact that we have a place to learn and experiment with new technologies.

Which is a space equipped with robotics tools
and digital, to allow young people to imagine and create solutions to the challenges of Mali through technology.
So on the sidelines of the development of our own solutions, we also train young people (women and men) how to design solutions of public utility. 

We put our equipment at their disposal for these young people. We do rapid prototyping for entrepreneurs who only have ideas at the start.

We went to the largest University and hospital center in Mali (Point G) with our first prototype and since then have worked together for the new models of respirator.

  For the moment, the project plans to serve public and private health centers and hospitals in Mali.
In the next 5 years, we also plan to provide health facilities in other sub-Saharan countries.

With the advent of Covid-19, we immediately became aware of the lack of a respirator in Mali but not only our ability to respond. And with this ability to design respirators made in Mali, we'll setting up a start-up, specializing in the design of materials medical services for the health structures in Mali and for other sub-Saharan African countries.

In terms of development of our project over 5 years, we would like to link technical partnerships and financial in order to industrialize our product and internationalize it.

We operate on our own funds. 

As a result, we have financial and logistic barriers to acquiring adequate robotics tools for all of our development projects.

In addition, our market barrier limits our impact, due to the lack of visibility with potential customers and also business partners for the expansion of our activities.

GIZ MALI

We are in partnership with GIZ Mali, in the recycling of electronic and photovoltaic waste for the design of 3D PRINTERS, computer charging stations and CNC machines.

We intend to earn money on the sale of each medical device that we design, in particular for the artificial respirator we are considering a unique purchase model by client health facilities with an annual subscription from the maintenance service.

We will bring in money to fund our work through sustained donations and grants, selling services, raising investment capital, a combination of all.

Now, we have collected an amount of 1700 US DOLLARS from the fastTrack tech Africa organization.

We are looking for any type of funding, allowing us on the one hand to maintain lives anywhere and on the other hand to generate income from our respective activities.

• Access to a minimum funding in order to setting up our activities in several contries.
• Professional management and development services, mentorship and coaching, educational training, capacity building, and connection with influencers, industry leaders, and experts through Elevate Prize Foundation.
• Access to a dynamic network of Elevate Prize Global Heroes and partners.

We would like to associate ourselves with all organizations having very advanced skills in technologies in the field of health in connected objects and also but especially in the management of international business.
