(Business in Cameroon) - Africa’s inventor of the continent’s first medical tablet, the Cardiopad, Arthur Zang, could win a portion of the 93 million FCFA (150,000 USD) of 2015’s Prize for Innovation in Africa (PIA) held by the African Innovation Foundation (AIF).

The Cameroonian engineer who developed the tablet that facilitates cardiovascular testing with results being communicated remotely is among the 10 nominees for 2015’s Prize for Innovation in Africa out of 925 candidates from 41 African countries.

The final results will be announced on May 12 and 13 in Skhirat in Morocco, the country which the AIF has referred to as “becoming a platform for innovation in Africa.”
