ZAWADI

Sawazisha MedTech Labs.

A Kigali-based women's health medical technology company building ZAWADI — research-stage, blood-free ZPP sensing for earlier iron-deficiency insight.

Kigali, Rwanda

Earlier insight into iron deficiency — without starting with a blood draw.

We build diagnostic innovations for women's health with ambition and technical credibility — without implying clearance or performance that has not been demonstrated.

Women's health first

Antenatal care as the beachhead; maternal and nutritional pathways as the long game.

Evidence before claims

Feasibility, calibration, usability, then clinical performance — in that order.

Built in Rwanda

Designed with East African care realities, with room for international collaboration.

From scientific feasibility to a calibrated prototype.

Current work includes benchtop signal validation, prototype integration, and calibration against accepted reference methods — not commercial diagnosis.

Built at the intersection of materials science, diagnostics, and women's health.

A lean founding team with product, clinical, and supply-chain depth for Rwanda's antenatal care pathway.

Built for frontline reality.

Product, clinical credibility, and health-system access in one lean founding team.
