African start-ups are making a name for themselves in the fight against the coronavirus.

Remote medicine platform, deliveries of equipment by drone, traceability of drugs in pharmacies: innovative examples that have boosted technological investments in health in Africa.

Figures multiplied by ten in just two years: we were close to 190 million euros in investments at the end of 2019. Report from Nigeria to Rwanda.

The opportunity for Tech 24 to join the "Africa Challenge App".

RFI and France 24 are launching the 5th edition of this digital competition.

This year, we are looking for innovators who will put technologies into action in the fight against epidemics in French-speaking Africa.

If you are a developer, or a young company from the continent, you can post your applications from September 14 on the site: appafrique.rfi.fr 

A challenge to be found throughout the season on our show!

Finally in our demo sequence: back pain, century sickness.

A cliché that could well be undermined by the exoskeletons.

Among the most promising: the "W" model from Lille Japet.

The e-health start-up is innovating with new applications for medical personnel in particular.

Exoskeletons that also adapt to the performance of athletes.

"Ski Mojo" offers skiers the possibility of hurtling down the slopes!

All schuss on innovation!
