[TICAD9] SOIK to Present Maternal Health DX Platform “SPAQ” at Symposium Hosted by Japan’s Institute for Health Crisis Management (JIHS)

SOIK is honored to be a featured speaker at the official side event of the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9), titled “10 Years of Promoting International Deployment of Medical Technologies in Africa—Achievements and Future Directions,” scheduled for August 2025.

At this symposium, SOIK will present its digital maternal and child health platform SPAQ, showcasing how it has been implemented to strengthen health systems in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Our presentation will highlight real-world use cases of AI-assisted prenatal screening in low-resource settings and its impact on reducing maternal and neonatal mortality.

The event will also include a panel discussion with partner organizations and companies, where we will share project outcomes and explore future collaborative pathways to drive health equity and innovation in Africa.

We warmly invite you to join us at the event!
