Building Africa's Diagnostic Intelligence Infrastructure
Abbe Labs is building the digital infrastructure connecting laboratories, healthcare providers, research programmes and public health systems through secure, structured and interoperable diagnostic data.
Our flagship platform, AbbeDx, combines offline-first laboratory workflows, human-verified AI-assisted diagnostics, structured reporting and longitudinal diagnostic records in a platform designed for African healthcare environments.
AbbeDx Platform Engine
Offline-First Workflows • Multi-Source Acquisition • Mandatory Human Verification
Healthcare Providers
Longitudinal diagnostic records & action support
Research Programmes
Field data collection & trial data exports
Public Health Systems
Population intelligence & disease surveillance
Technology designed around the realities of diagnostic care.
AbbeDx is being designed for laboratories and healthcare programmes operating across diverse infrastructure, connectivity and workflow environments.
Diagnostic information should not disappear into paper.
Diagnostic results often remain fragmented across paper records and disconnected systems, limiting longitudinal clinical use and population-level insight.
Fragmented Workflows
Bench testing relies on disparate paper registers, Excel files, and verbal communications, leading to manual transcription errors and lost diagnostic history.
Manual Diagnostic Data
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and microscopic observations are evaluated visually without standardized image archiving or structured quality assurance.
Disconnected Patient Records
Patient results remain locked in isolated clinic drawers rather than contributing to longitudinal clinical records or public health surveillance.
Infrastructure Constraints
Cloud-only laboratory software fails when internet connectivity drops or electrical power fluctuates, halting essential clinic testing operations.
One platform. From diagnostic observation to diagnostic intelligence.
AbbeDx unifies patient intake, diagnostic acquisition, expert validation, and structured reporting into an offline-first architecture designed specifically for African healthcare environments.
Patient Registration
Fast, offline-resilient patient intake and demographic capture with optional unique health identification linkage.
Capture diagnostic data wherever it originates.
AbbeDx unifies diverse diagnostic formats into standardized, interoperable observations without disrupting frontline laboratory workflows.
Manual Structured Entry
Numeric, qualitative & titre-based bench inputs
OCR-Assisted Capture
Digitisation of legacy bench worksheets & documents
AI-Assisted RDT Interpretation
Computer-vision image analysis for rapid test strips
Future Device Integration
Direct interfaces for benchtop analysers & medical devices
Diagnostic Observation Normalisation
Data standardized into clinical terms & structured metadata schema
MANDATORY HUMAN VERIFICATION
Every AI suggestion, OCR reading, and manual observation must be explicitly reviewed, validated, or edited by a qualified healthcare professional before final sign-off.
Built for healthcare environments where connectivity cannot be assumed.
Workflows continue uninterrupted during network outages or remote field deployments, guaranteeing data integrity at all times.
Multi-Device Access
Runs on smartphones, tablets, and desktop workstations in clinics and field settings.
Local Secure Storage
Encrypted local database stores diagnostic observations and queued actions offline.
Sync When Connected
Background synchronization triggers automatically upon internet or network reconnection.
Organisation Cloud
Consolidates multi-site data into central organizational and public health dashboards.
AI assists. Healthcare professionals decide.
AbbeDx is designed to augment and empower laboratory professionals, not replace them. Artificial intelligence and optical text character recognition (OCR) generate diagnostic suggestions. A qualified healthcare or laboratory professional explicitly reviews, edits, and verifies observations before they become part of the official diagnostic record.
Tailored solutions across the health ecosystem.
