AI Innovation Grant
Background
The Artificial Intelligence in Health Incubation Grant Program focused on advancing AI-driven health innovations in Uganda. In collaboration with the Science, Technology, and Innovation Secretariat (STI), Marconi Lab, and Makerere Centre for Artificial Intelligence (MAK-AI), this program supports the commercialization of AI-based health technologies.
Serving as an early-stage business incubator, the program aims to transform AI health-tech innovations, products, and processes into viable, scalable businesses capable of significantly impacting the health sector.
One selected innovator will receive exclusive support, including grant funding, specialized training, technical assistance, and investor-readiness coaching. This initiative empowers entrepreneurs to develop sustainable, impactful ventures in health technology.

Our Story
Feyti Limited was founded to address one of the biggest bottlenecks in Africa’s pharmaceutical ecosystem in regulatory compliance. The founders, a team of AI engineers and medical experts with deep pharma and regulatory backgrounds, witnessed how fragmented systems, manual processes, and linguistic diversity caused significant delays in medicine approvals.
Motivated by the urgent need to bridge this gap and ensure faster patient access to safe and effective medicines, they built Aicyclinder the first African-focused AI regulatory platform that empowers pharmaceutical companies to achieve regulatory excellence and improve healthcare outcomes across the continent.
The Challenge
Pharmaceutical companies and health startups across Africa face major delays , costs and errors in regulatory compliance due to fragmented systems, language barriers, and limited regulatory capacity. This slows down approvals and increases costs, ultimately limiting patient access to essential medicines.
The Solution
Aicyclinder is an AI-powered platform that automates CTD dossier preparation, multilingual translation, local literature search, regulatory intelligence, and pharmacovigilance seeking faster, more accurate, and cost-effective regulatory submissions across African markets. Using OpenAI and Gemini AI models with OCR/Vision, generative AI, and data analytics, it is tailored specifically for African regulatory requirements.

Our Story
Phronesis was born from the frustration of seeing preventable stroke-related disabilities and deaths due to delays in radiology reporting. As biomedical engineers, we envisioned a solution that leverages AI to support radiologists, not replace them, by bridging gaps in speed, accuracy, and access. With radiologists onboard as advisors and collaborators, we are building a tool that could redefine healthcare delivery in Africa.
Phronesis is an AI-powered CT scan analysis platform that assists radiologists by detecting medical conditions quickly and accurately. It reduces reporting time from hours to minutes, increases diagnostic accuracy, and ensures hospitals in underserved regions can provide better care.
Our target users are hospitals, radiology centers, and clinicians in Uganda and across Africa.
The Challenge
Early diagnosis is the first step in ensuring the best patient outcome. For evidence-based medicine and conclusive diagnosis, different imaging modalities are relied upon. In Uganda, the most common and readily available modality is the CT scan. The problem is that the number of radiologists is far below the demand, they need assistance for Uganda’s healthcare landscape to tilt towards faster and accurate diagnoses using these imaging modalities.
The Solution
we have created Phronesis after years of accumulating the right data and understanding where AI can fit into the healthcare dream and ensure that when a scan is made, results and an accurate report are instantaneous. We have started with the CT scan, but are already making way into the MRI, Endoscopy, among others.
