Arthur Zang’s cardiopad, a heart-saving invention

Arthur Zang is a Cameroonian computer scientist. He invented the cardiopad, a tablet that measures physiological data from the heart and then transmits it to a cardiologist. Designed for remote populations, its invention allows for a heart examination from a distance.

It is a very useful tablet in Cameroon which has only 50 specialized doctors for 20 million inhabitants.
