IMPALA 1.0 - New product design released together with partner Mango product design
After a long and iterative design process, the new design of the IMPALA monitor as we know it today, is released. The firm handle, green sleeve, and durable appearance make an iconic design, suited for the end-users' environment.

IMPALA Study Malawi
As part of the IMPALA project, we started our IMPALA study in Malawi. We implemented 50 IMPALA monitors to collect data for predictive algorithms. During the 12 month period of the study we monitored around 700 children.

Founded GOAL 3 Rwanda Ltd.
We founded a local company in Rwanda! The aim of this step is to be an innovation, sales and service hub in Rwanda, from where we will also continue to expand to other countries in East Africa and beyond.

First implementation in Malawi
The Ministry of Health in Malawi gave us approvals for market access to bring the IMPALA system to more hospitals in Malawi. We can start implementing our system outside a research setting in Malawi and we started an implementation in St. Lukes Hospital in Zomba, Southern Malawi.

Start IMPALA-Reliability Study Rwanda
We started our Reliability study in Rwanda to validate our systems in Rwanda in the University Teaching Hospital (CHUK) in Kigali. During the study we prove the effectiveness of our monitoring system against the current standard of care.

First Implementation in Tanzania
Our first implementation in Tanzania started in Sengerema Hospital in Northern Tanzania. First the NICU and afterwards the pediatric ward will be equipped with the IMPALA system.
