Dineo is an engineer, biotech,
nono-technologist, artificial
intelligence innovator in medicine,
businesswoman and a proud
holder of a Master’s Degree in
Micro and Nanotechnology from
Cambridge University. A very
rare field to enter, particularly for
African women. Her passion of
encouraging young girls to take
up the sciences, is therefore valid.
She is a perfect and inspirational
example, and according to South
Africa’s City Press:” Dineo Lioma’s
energy and enthusiasm are
infectious, and the way she speaks
about things such as Artificial
Intelligence (AI), DNA, enzymes
and gene sequencing to aid those
in the field of healthcare makes
one believe there is hope for our

virus-stricken world.”
She runs Deep Medical
Therapeutics — a medical
technology company that builds
and implements AI solutions that
optimize healthcare in Africa. DMT
is also providing access to more
affordable pathology services and
other tailored therapeutics.
Dineo’s goal with DMT is to
establish pathology labs that
provide access to more affordable
diagnostic services across the
continent, and to create scalable
channels to increase a pool of
health data, Africa’s largest
repository for health data and
technology, which once collected
can generate insights that can
help deliver optimised healthcare
in Africa.
