Interconnecting health across Africa.
MedX International is a homegrown health-technology company founded in Uganda in 2019. We connect devices, data, and decisions across the health system, so the data facilities already produce becomes action they can use.
Our impact
Built in the field, proven at scale.
Our story
From surveillance to a shared data store.
MedX began with a focused goal: improve tuberculosis surveillance in Uganda. Working alongside the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory, we connected diagnostic instruments and moved their data where it was needed, in real time.
When COVID-19 arrived in 2020, we adapted quickly, connecting commercial laboratories for pandemic testing and automating result delivery across Uganda and neighbouring countries. From there the work broadened: the full laboratory lifecycle, brand-agnostic device connectivity, national diagnostic networks, and programme dashboards feeding ministries of health.
Today MedX is a FHIR-native platform built from four pillars on one shared data store. Devices, labs, clinicians, and workflows write to it; ministries, programmes, insurers, and analytics read from it. Nobody needs a custom integration. They connect to MedX.
Our journey
Key milestones.
MedX is founded
Established in Uganda as a homegrown health-technology company, starting with tuberculosis surveillance digitisation alongside the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory.
COVID-19 response
Rapidly connected commercial laboratories across Uganda and neighbouring countries for pandemic testing, with automated result delivery.
Point-of-entry screening
Digitised Uganda's airport laboratory, screening over 1,500 daily arrivals with 99% of results returned in under three hours.
Ethiopia diagnostic network
Connected Ethiopia's GeneXpert fleet for real-time TB surveillance and rapid result transmission, now more than 1,000 instruments across 700+ facilities in all 12 regions.
Full lab lifecycle
Extended beyond surveillance to the full laboratory lifecycle, the foundation of today's MedX LIMS.
Device automation
MedX Automation matured into a brand-agnostic connectivity layer supporting 50+ diagnostic instrument models.
One FHIR-native platform
MedX is now a platform of four pillars, Automation, Assistant, Registry, and Workspace, on one shared FHIR data store, powering solutions from LIMS to Disease Surveillance and Clinical Intelligence.
Our mission
To interconnect health: to move health work safely between people, systems, devices, and decisions, so every facility can turn the data it already produces into better outcomes.
Our vision
A health system where every device, lab, and clinician shares one trustworthy picture of care, and where timely, accurate diagnostics reach the people who need them.
Standards & compliance
Open standards, not lock-in.
FHIR R4
FHIR-native by design, for interoperability with EHRs, exchanges, and analytics.
SMART on FHIR
Standards-based authentication and authorization across every surface.
