We’re honored to announce that DPE has been named to the Africa Digital Health Network (ADHN) Startups Watchlist 2025, unveiled during the closing plenary of the Africa HealthTech Summit 2025 in Kigali.

The ADHN Watchlist celebrates Africa’s 20 most promising digital-health ventures – ten startups and ten scaleups – that are redefining what it means to deliver impact at scale.

The Africa Digital Health Network (ADHN) is a flagship initiative of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC). ADHN serves as the home of Africa’s Digital Health Communities of Practice, enabling communication, facilitating collaboration, and promoting coordination in the development and adoption of digital health solutions across the continent.

For DPE, being included in this prestigious list is both a recognition and a responsibility.

Over the past 3 years, we’ve worked to turn communication into connected care – helping health systems reach people, understand their needs, and respond in real time. This nomination validates our belief that the future of health engagement in Africa lies not only in AI or data, but in trust, context, and human connection.

“Being part of the ADHN Watchlist 2025 is a proud milestone that reinforces our mission to build Africa’s trusted AI layer for health engagement.” – DPE Leadership Team

For us, recognition from ADHN is about more than visibility. It opens doors to direct linkages with public- and private-sector partners, investor matchmaking, and inclusion in the “20 African Health Disruptors to Watch” feature – platforms that will help us deepen collaboration and scale impact.

We also see this as a celebration of the wider ecosystem: the community health workers, county teams, and behavioral scientists who inspire every solution we build.

At DPE, we’re committed to translating this recognition into action, continuing to innovate responsibly, partner deeply, and keep our focus on the people at the center of every health system.

Thank you to ADHN Africa for this recognition, and to our peers across the continent for the shared journey of reimagining what’s possible in health.
