samRad Health Technologies is a visionary cancer research and healthtech enterprise. Our mission is to pioneer intelligent, automated systems that empower clinicians to detect and quantify tumors from radiological imaging with precision and ease. Our AI pipelines are open, transparent, and designed to speed up diagnostics and enhance medical research.
Founded by Samuel B. Takwirira, a Zimbabwean PhD student in Physics at the University of New Hampshire in the United States, the initiative is rooted in a passion for oncology and a heartfelt commitment to expanding access to care. Coming from a background marked by economic hardship and limited access to advanced healthcare, Takwirira has firsthand experience of the challenges faced by most African communities.
Through resilience and a relentless pursuit of education, he now seeks to transform lives—not just through innovation, but by creating pathways for others from similar circumstances. samRad Health Technologies aspires to forge partnerships with hospitals across Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, uplifting cancer care through technological excellence and shared knowledge.
Instant analysis of medical scan images (DICOM) to assess cancer risk using trained AI models.
Command-line tools for clinical researchers to process imaging data and patient datasets efficiently at scale.
Robust support for structured CSV metadata, clinical tagging, and export-ready research formats. Seamlessly integrate with existing hospital systems.
At samRad Health Technologies, our mission centers on precision—a quality vividly demonstrated in this radiation beam simulation. The gantry, the rotating arm of a radiation machine, precisely delivers a targeted beam to the tumor, minimizing exposure to healthy tissue. This animation highlights the crucial role of accurate targeting in modern cancer treatment and is a core example of the advancements we are working to bring to cancer care.
Radiology is more than just images on a screen—it’s often the first glimpse into a life forever changed. For those touched by cancer, whether through personal battle, the struggle of a loved one, or even the fear of the unknown, the journey is deeply personal. In those moments of waiting and worry, tools like MRI, CT, and PET scans become lifelines—windows into hope, clarity, and action. Understanding these tools can bring comfort, courage, and a sense of control when everything else feels uncertain.
