Empowering people and organizations to apply artificial intelligence responsibly to solve real-world challenges in health, energy, agriculture, and climate sectors.
Explore our multidisciplinary approach to solving Sustainable Development Goals through cutting-edge research in Health, Energy, and Agriculture.
Health & Medical AI
SIGNTALK: A deep learning system that translates Ghanaian Sign Language into real-time English text and speech using a standard webcam, helping the hearing-impaired communicate effectively with doctors.
Rare Disease Preemption: An AI technology designed to identify factors for rare and incurable diseases in children, enabling early treatment and preventing deaths through data-driven preemptive care.
Low-Cost Healthcare Tools: Developing accessible AI-powered digital health technologies specifically for vulnerable women and girls in underserved communities.
Agriculture Innovation & Food Security
Agrivoltaics in Ghana: A dual-use land system that combines solar PV electricity generation with crop cultivation (garden eggs, tomatoes, pepper) to improve water efficiency and clean energy production.
Precision Agriculture (1D1D): A framework that uses AI to calculate precise water needs for specific crops, integrating with Ghana’s “One District, One Dam” initiative to maximize yields.
Afrocentric Language Models for Farmers: Speech recognition and translation tools for local dialects like Asante Twi and Ewe to bridge the literacy gap in agricultural consulting.
Energy Systems & Sustainability
Hybrid Energy for Aircraft: Designing and optimizing hybrid energy systems for electric aircraft propulsion to enable more efficient and greener air travel.
Yeboakrom Community Solar Project: A solar mini-grid initiative in rural areas providing energy access to promote entrepreneurship and sustainable architecture.
Captive Energy Planning: Using machine learning tools (SVR, ANN) to model and predict energy consumption and renewable resources for a sustainable university mini-grid.
Inclusivity & Responsible AI
The i-SEE Project: Uses computer vision to help visually impaired individuals navigate obstacles, understand scenes, and recognize text in their surroundings independently.
The FACETS Framework: A unique governance model that evaluates AI solutions based on Fairness, Accountability, Competency, Ethics, Transparency, and Safety.
National AI Strategy: Coordination of Ghana’s blueprint for AI development, focusing on building a digital workforce and making Ghana an African AI hub.
