At Neopenda, we’re dedicated to creating cutting edge technology solutions that solve the needs of underserved healthcare workers in emerging markets. We started this journey because we’ve learned firsthand about the challenges in healthcare in low-resource settings, and as biomedical engineers we knew we could leverage technology and user-centric design to create better, more affordable medical devices for emerging markets. Our first product, neoGuardTM, is a 4-in-1 wearable vital signs monitor that that provides real time data to nurses on a tablet. We’re an early-stage, venture-backed startup thrilled to be transitioning to our commercial launch in Kenya and subsequently scaling our efforts globally. We are a diverse and passionate team, dually-based in Chicago, IL, USA and Kampala, Uganda. We are deeply rooted in our values:
- Sustainability
- Integrity
- Equity
- Inclusivity
- Humanity
- Resilience
