Healthlane is an African preventive-health company (Y Combinator W20) that pairs a mobile app with a network of diagnostic laboratories to give people personalized health checkups and screening. Founded by Alain Nteff and Dr. Agbor Ashumanyi Ako, it grew out of the maternal-health service GiftedMom with a goal of catching disease early rather than treating it late.
