发明家阿瑟•赞格(
Arthur Zang)是七年前在喀麦隆首都雅温得(Yaoundé)最大的医院里,在一位引路人的指导下开始从事发明的。用他的话说:“如果你开始做一件事,就必须一直做到底。”

最初,赞格需要靠那位导师的帮助来理解心电图数据传输的基本科学原理。如今,他已经拥有自己的公司——Himore Medical,专事销售心脏诊断装置。这种简便装置包含一个通过运用移动电话技术将心电图结果从乡村传送给专家的触屏电子板。

赞格为筹资制作这个装置付出了很大努力。他将自己的心脏测试电子板(CardioPad)计划登到脸谱网,希望最终制作500个心脏测试电子板(CardioPad),销售到他所在地区的医院。

2012年,当赞格被挑选出席非洲青年领袖计划( Young African Leaders Initiative)的辅导项目时,他的发明已经在喀麦隆见成效。但是他说,他尚未实现自己的初衷,那就是,将生产设施转移到喀麦隆,从而让这个项目为本国公民同胞提供就业机会。



In Cameroon, inventing from the heart

“If you start something, you must finish it,” says Arthur Zang, an inventor who started working with a mentor at the main hospital in Cameroon’s capital city, Yaoundé, seven years ago.

At the time, Zang’s mentor had to help him understand the basic science behind EKG data transmission. Today, Zang owns a company called Himore Medical, which sells a diagnostic kit that includes a touch-screen device capable of transmitting cardiac test results from rural areas to specialists via mobile phone technology.

Before manufacturing the device, Zang struggled to find financing and posted his idea for CardioPad on Facebook. He hopes to produce 500 CardioPads and distribute them to hospitals throughout the region.

In 2012, when Arthur Zang was selected to participate in the Young African Leaders Initiativementoring program, he had already made his mark in Cameroon through his invention. But he says he has not finished what he started. He won’t be finished until he relocates production to Cameroon so his fellow citizens will benefit from the jobs it will provide.
