Precision Technology for Neonatal Care
ANET is the first automated exchange transfusion system designed and built locally to solve Africa's critical neonatal healthcare crisis.
The Challenge
Neonatal jaundice is a leading cause of hospital admission. In some Ghanaian facilities, up to 67% of neonates are affected, yet current manual treatments remain slow, risky, and prone to error.
High Complication Rates
Manual exchange transfusions vary widely in safety, with studies showing adverse event rates as high as 74%, including thrombocytopenia and dangerous heart rate fluctuations.
Human Error & Fatigue
The manual push-pull method is exhausting and inconsistent. Clinical data links manual instability to higher risks of air embolism and fluctuating intracranial pressure.
7x Higher Risk
The burden of Kernicterus (irreversible brain damage) is ~73 per 100,000 live births in Sub-Saharan Africa—over 7 times higher than in high-income countries.
Every Mother. Every Baby. Every Chance.
Behind every statistic is a mother's hope and a baby's future. ANET is our commitment to ensuring that hope becomes reality.
Protecting New Life
Every newborn deserves the best chance at a healthy start, regardless of where they're born.
A Mother's Love
ANET empowers healthcare providers to give mothers the peace of mind they deserve.
