Our Story

Where Humanity Guides Technology

The Catalyst

A preventable journey that changed everything.

In 2019, while working with the World Health Organization in West Africa, Dr. Amara Diallo met Fatou. Heavily pregnant and facing severe complications, Fatou had walked over 50 kilometers in the blistering heat to reach the nearest regional clinic.
Tragically, she arrived too late. Her complications were common, predictable, and completely manageable with early, localized ultrasound detection.
That evening, deeply shaken, Amara called her colleague and computational scientist, Shuaibu Shehu: “We are designing incredible systems for massive hospitals, but the technology is simply not reaching the last mile. We need to flip the paradigm.” Six months later, CodeTherapy was born.

Our Mission

Harnessing AI for global health equity.

We are dedicated to building robust, clinically-validated diagnostic systems that run locally, ensuring world-class medical intelligence is present in every low-resource clinic across the globe.

Our Vision

A world where geography doesn’t dictate care.

We envision an open healthcare ecosystem where advanced tools are shared freely, empowering frontline workers to make precise, early interventions regardless of their location or infrastructure.

What Drives Us

Our Core Ideals

Humanity First

Technology serves communities over profits. We design diagnostics based on real patient need, not business models.

Radical Inclusion

We actively build with medical institutions and clinicians inside their clinics, not from isolated hubs.

Ethical Courage

We thoroughly reject exploitative medical datasets. All models are open-source and publicly auditable.

Global Roots

Honoring local clinical wisdom across our teams globally while introducing world-class computational science.
