Cardano for Global Health Supply

Work with Atala Prism to pilot use of DID, VC, and Smart Contract combined with Kountable's existing platform and data to deliver PoC for governance, transparency, and capital to global health supply chains in African markets.  Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Ghana, South Africa currently supported by Kountable.

Kountable hosted Abbott executives and a room full of technologists and investors including Dor Garbash to kick off the execution of a program targeting 27M pregnant women across 21 countries in Africa.

We visited Kigali Rwanda to experience diagnostics in the field through oculus VR

The impact will be substantial and the commercial implications of the collaboration can scale across the $60B global diagnostics market and improve health equity globally.
