African Smartphone Clinical Trial Recruitment via Community Health Workers
One-Liner
A smartphone-based recruitment tool using community health worker networks to find and pre-screen trial participants for clinical sites in sub-Saharan Africa.
AI Thinking Process
Sub-Saharan treatment-naïve populations for infectious disease and metabolic disease trials. Structural barrier is recruitment not capacity.
Operationally hard, regulation-heavy, single-site per country, graveyard for well-funded attempts. Pain is real but capturing it requires deep local operational footprint, not software. 90-second skip.
Fundamental kill: operational requirement exceeds software model.
Kill Reason
Requires deep local operational footprint, not just software. High 40–60% dropout before enrollment, regulation-heavy, historically a graveyard for well-funded attempts. Not a software opportunity.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
