Poorly managed hypertension has long been a major contributor to stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure—some of the leading causes of death in Africa, especially among those in their prime.
However, a Nigerian doctor has introduced a groundbreaking solution that could change this narrative.
In a brief video, Dr. Richard Okoye, Chairman of the Savealife Group, shares the inspiration behind his invention of the first digital blood pressure monitor, which he asserts can “save Africans from stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure.”
Remarkably, he demonstrated how blood pressure readings can be taken by anyone, anywhere, and at any time, and transmitted in real-time to their doctor or hospital for prompt intervention.
He highlighted that the use of a SIM card and lithium battery is a key feature of his innovative technology.
Indeed, there has never been a better time to take pride in being African!
