BloodGPT and Smartcare Health Solutions announced a cooperation agreement. The collaboration, which will bring AI lab result interpretation to the continent for the first time, aims to bridge critical gaps in healthcare delivery and accessibility in Nigeria.
As part of the first-of-a-kind cooperation, participating healthcare organizations in Nigeria will get free access to BloodGPT’s platform. This will allow 5,000 patients per month to receive AI-powered lab result interpretation of their tests.
Nigeria faces a substantial shortage of medical professionals. Introducing AI into lab workflows will help address some of the most pressing challenges facing the country’s healthcare system, broaden access to care, and improve patient engagement. The project aims to achieve this by using AI to represent complex, one-dimensional data in dynamic ways, giving patients and doctors the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of lab results. BloodGPT will automatically detect out-of-range values, visualize trends across tests, and identify biomarkers that may require additional investigation. This, in turn, will streamline workflows, decrease the administrative burden, and support doctors in spending more time with patients instead of paperwork.
As part of the project, BloodGPT will work with 15 healthcare organizations across the Smartcare Health Solutions network of Nigerian healthcare stakeholders, including state primary healthcare agencies, leading pharmacy chains, and private hospital groups. Further plans include expansion to five additional African countries upon successful pilot completion.
The pilot project will offer controlled access to BloodGPT for labs and patients, allowing the teams to evaluate onboarding at scale, interpretation volume, and the transition from free credits to paid adoption. This initial rollout will assess demand for additional white-label deployments, inform the wider integration with Smartcare’s EHR system, and support future expansion across the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The project is funded through an investment from Smartcare Health Solutions, which is already supporting multiple initiatives across primary healthcare workflow design, device-enabled intake and triage, and pharmacy-based screening and referrals The free credits for physicians are provided by BloodGPT.
