We’re a Tanzanian health innovation company developing life-saving medical tools that work in the toughest environments — starting with OxyVent.
In low-resource settings, oxygen shortages take lives every day. Hospitals lack equipment, electricity is unreliable, and traditional ventilators are often out of reach. Shemameditech was founded to change that.
Our team came together in Tanzania with one mission: to create smart, accessible medical devices that fit the realities of underserved health systems. OxyVent, our first innovation, is a response to that mission — a portable, non-refillable oxygen ventilator built for emergencies, ambulances, and clinics with no time or tools to spare.
Mission
To close the oxygen access gap through affordable, simple, and scalable health technologies designed for real-world care.
Vision
A world where every patient has access to life-saving oxygen support — regardless of geography, income, or infrastructure.
Simplicity First
We believe life-saving tools should be easy to use, fast to deploy, and require minimal resources.
Impact Over Hype
Every product we build is designed to solve real-world problems — not just raise headlines.
Human-Centered Innovation
We work closely with healthcare workers and patients to build solutions that fit their lives.
Local-Led Design
Our solutions are created in Africa, for Africa — built with understanding, not assumptions.
