• Egyptian startup Rology, founded in 2017, connects hospitals with on-demand radiologists through a global teleradiology platform.
• The platform aims to reduce diagnostic delays in Africa and emerging markets, where radiologist shortages remain acute.
• The company operates a pay-per-scan model, allowing smaller or rural healthcare facilities to access specialist interpretation without major investment.

Amr Abodraiaa is an Egyptian technology entrepreneur and the co-founder and chief executive officer of Rology, a digital health company specializing in teleradiology services.

He leads a platform that connects medical facilities facing shortages of available radiologists with a global network of qualified specialists.

Rology launched the platform in 2017 with the objective of reducing interpretation times for medical imaging exams, particularly in Africa and other emerging markets where radiologists remain scarce.

The platform directly links hospitals and imaging centers with certified radiologists who can provide on-demand services 24 hours a day.

The platform operates through a fully digital workflow. Hospitals upload imaging exams, including CT scans and MRI scans, through the system. The platform then assigns the files to qualified radiologists who analyze the images and deliver reports within a short timeframe.

Rology bases its business model on pay-per-scan billing, which allows smaller hospitals and rural healthcare facilities to access high-quality diagnostic services without heavy infrastructure investments.

Consequently, the company aims to accelerate patient care by reducing the time between imaging and diagnosis. Today, Rology collaborates with several hundred certified radiologists and multiple healthcare partners across Africa and the Middle East.

Amr Abodraiaa graduated from Alexandria University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial and production engineering.

He also obtained a professional certificate in business administration from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport. He began his professional career in 2007 at Egyptian software developer TownSoft, where he worked as a marketing manager.

The company promoted him in 2010 to the position of project manager and business developer. He later worked as business development director at Mafahim Productions between 2014 and 2016, a company specializing in audiovisual production. He subsequently joined the data science team at Egyptian steel producer Ezzsteel in 2017.
