I envision a world where quality healthcare is accessible to all.

 

 

Prince is driven by a desire to make direct contributions to the development of technologies that will improve healthcare and make it more accessible. He is currently on a team that is developing a closed-loop temperature control system for use during surgery. He also previously worked on using machine learning to diagnose diabetic retinopathy without the input of an ophthalmologist. A self-taught programmer, Prince is passionate about software and the use of Artificial Intelligence techniques in Medicine. He loves to spend his free time contributing to open-source software and working on personal projects. One such project, Sanio, is a search engine that makes finding service businesses easier in Ghana. After obtaining his Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering, Prince aspires to start a company that will focus on applying artificial intelligence techniques to medicine.
