"It is very difficult to not be able to see a doctor. My family was in this case."

Here's why Arthur Zang embarked on the creation of the CardioPad, a Tablet connected via electrodes to the patient's chest. Thanks to the built-in modem, it allows to acquire and transmit remote data of the patient to a cardiologist.

The Royal Society, based in London, comes to distinguish among 1,800 candidates to assign the "Rolex to 2014 entrepreneurship Award". He would that his example be copied in Africa.

The kit which includes the Tablet, electrodes and devices to measure cardiac activity is already available for pre-order from hospitals. $ 3,500 to the piece, it is two times cheaper than what exists today.

I think that the CardioPad that we will assemble in Cameroon will be available in November.
