Stephen Kalyesubula is a young citizen of Uganda with a first-class degree in computer engineering from Makerere University and 3 years’ experience in Data science, Robotics, Internet of things, as well as Artificial Intelligence and Design thinking. He is proud to be among the founders of Labtech with a 2 years’ experience in the use of open source technologies.

Labtech have developed a hardware and mobile application-based solution called UriSAF for effective diagnosis and monitoring of urine changes for expecting mothers in low resource hospital settings. The hardware module called “Uriscope” can diagnose urine samples for a range of issues from diarrhoea to kidney failure to gestational diabetes. UriSAF also integrates a phone application that receives data from the hardware once testing is done, and then processes the data to give a diagnosis whilst also allowing for safe data storage on the Cloud, for future further analysis. The app provides tools that track the fetus’ growth, information about stages of pregnancy, possible weight and height of the fetus, immunization calendar, family planning and nutrition calendar for both mother and baby. UriSAF is a simple sensor based diagnostic tool, so health facilities are better able to carry out several timely tests without patients having to wait in long queues.
