Gilbert Mbeh, a Cameroonian technology entrepreneur, is the founder and chief technology officer of PushNcare, a digital platform dedicated to nutrition and wellness that launched in 2024.

PushNcare differentiates itself by combining healthcare technology with African culinary traditions. The platform provides users with nutritional analysis tools specifically adapted to local dietary habits. By connecting patients with nutritionists, the company seeks to make health advice more accessible and more closely aligned with African cultural realities.

The technological core of PushNcare relies on a database containing more than 60,000 analyzed African dishes and ingredients. The platform catalogs staples such as jollof rice and fufu to help users understand calorie intake, sugar and sodium levels, and glycemic impact. Mbeh said the platform aims to deliver personalized nutrition management based on everyday meals.

To simplify the user experience, PushNcare integrates an intelligent analysis system capable of processing either a photo or a text description of a meal. The platform then generates a detailed nutritional assessment and provides targeted recommendations based on various objectives, including weight loss, glycemic control, digestive health, energy optimization, sports nutrition, pregnancy, cardiovascular health, and low-sugar or low-sodium diets.

Beyond his work in digital health, Mbeh also serves as program coordinator for the Digital Transformation Initiative for Municipalities in Africa (DTIMA). The annual event brings together mayors, investors, and policymakers to accelerate the digital transformation of African cities.

Mbeh’s entrepreneurial career gained momentum in 2019 with the creation of AbegYa, an information technology consulting and services company. However, he began his professional career in 2008 at Ecolog International as a network technician. Between 2010 and 2019, he also served as chairman of the board of EDUCAF, an organization focused on supporting education in Africa.
