Mohamed Lamar Diallo is a Canada-based technology entrepreneur active in Africa’s digital health sector. He serves as founder and chief executive officer of Labtani, a platform that aims to modernize healthcare management. The company seeks to reduce administrative workloads for healthcare professionals, laboratories and medical institutions while improving patient journeys.

Founded in 2025, Labtani helps medical teams manage daily operations more efficiently. The platform handles appointment scheduling, organizes clinical records and tracks healthcare activities. By automating repetitive and time-consuming administrative tasks, the system allows healthcare professionals to devote more time to patient care.

At the center of the platform is FormScribe, an intelligent voice-recognition tool developed by the startup. The technology transcribes practitioners’ speech and automatically places information into the appropriate sections of medical records. The system also identifies missing data in real time and generates a completed document that healthcare professionals can review and validate.

Beyond documentation, Labtani addresses a broad range of operational needs within the healthcare sector. The platform includes teleconsultation services, digital prescription capabilities and direct communication tools for patients. It also supports team coordination, schedule management and laboratory logistics monitoring.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science from the University of Montreal in 2012. He later completed a master’s degree in information technology at Télé-Université du Québec (TÉLUQ) in 2018.

This academic background enabled him to spend more than a decade working for major Canadian organizations. He began his professional career in 2014 as a business systems analyst at Groupe Dicom Transport. He then joined pet health and wellness products distributor Mondou in 2017 as an IT business analyst.
