Dr Tobi Olatunji found intron Health in 2020 to enable healthcare professionals to enter medical records by converting speech into text. The Nigerian AI startup raised $1.6 million in a pre-seed funding round.

The startup will utilize the capital influx to expand its workforce, deepen its research efforts, and strengthen its cloud-native and on-prem capabilities.

The Intron Health solution is important to doctors who attend to hundreds of patients daily and require lots of paperwork to deal with. This solution cuts down the writing time doctors used to write prescriptions, and other necessities with its products, which doctors can use to input patients’ medical records, give prescriptions, and generate reports using voice commands.

According to Intron Health, it has helped to reduce the turnaround time for radiology reporting at the University of College Hospital Ibadan from 48 hours to 20 minutes. The speech-to-text AI transcription tool accounts for many African accents.

Dr Tobi Olatunji, with over a decade of experience in deep learning, explained that they trained the datasets on over 3.5 million audio clips across African languages (288).

Intron Health is working on multilingual speech-to-text products to help doctors communicate with non-English patients.

We’ll be deploying the English to Hausa model first in the coming months. We’re not trying to differentiate ourselves, we’re only trying to partner with our competition.
