WIPO Magazine: Cardiopad - Reaching the Hearts of Rural Communities in Africa

Submitted by eTISC on

Great article by our colleague Edward Harris (Communications Division, WIPO) who tells the great story of Arthur Zang. The 26-year-old Cameroonian engineer, developed a tablet-like electrocardiogram, which can be easily used in remote areas to provide high quality medical/cardiac care. 

Here's the story together with a Youtube video: http://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2014/05/article_0002.html
