PROFILE
LabTECH Enginering Solutions is a leading technology company comprised of young entreprenuers alongside mentors that have been instrumental in guiding these young innovators along their innovation journey.
LabTECH Engineering Solutions has taken it upon itself to come up with leading technology innovations in application of artificial intelligence technologies and we hit the ground with a product called UriSAF to ease and speed up antenatal health care provision to mothers in sub-Saharan Africa where the access to antenatal health care was low and the maternal mortality rate was high.
With its current incubation center at the College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology, Makerere University, LabTECH Engineering Solutions has established strategic partnerships with key technology players like DeepMind Health, BioNano Consulting and Royal Academy of Engineering all based in the United Kingdom. We have also partnered with Singularity University in the US who selected our project that as the winner for their East Africa Grand Impact Challenge in 2017.
