Rology

Rology is an Egyptian-based health tech company founded in 2017 by Amr Abodraiaa, Moaaz Hemeda, Mahmoud Eldefrawy, and Bassam Khallaf. The company developed an AI-assisted, on-demand teleradiology platform to address the global shortage of radiologists, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. Rology’s platform connects hospitals and healthcare providers with a network of remote, sub-specialized radiologists, aiming to reduce diagnostic reporting times and improve patient outcomes. The system is designed for seamless integration with existing hospital infrastructure (HIS/PACS) with a zero-setup-cost model, making it accessible for facilities in both urban and rural areas.

The company's business model is primarily transaction-based, operating on a pay-per-report system, which minimizes upfront costs for hospitals and allows for scalable service delivery. This model provides a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers, potentially saving up to 25% on reporting costs and increasing radiology department capacity. The platform uses AI to intelligently match patient scans (including X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound) with the most suitable available radiologist, ensuring that emergency cases are reported within 60 minutes and routine cases within 12 hours. The technology also incorporates AI tools for quality assurance and workflow optimization, achieving a reported 99.8% medical accuracy rate.

Rology achieved a significant milestone in October 2023 by receiving FDA clearance for its teleradiology platform. The company has expanded its operations across several countries, including Egypt, Kenya, and Saudi Arabia. A key part of its expansion into the Saudi market was the acquisition of Arkan United in 2023. Rology has secured funding from various investors, including HIMangel, Egypt Ventures, Philips, and Dubai Angel Investors.
