“Africa must not be left behind. Nigeria must not be left behind. Our youths must not be left behind." Prince Nwankwo 

...... Introduces Body Scan AI; a health-focused innovation that combines artificial intelligence for diagnostics, blockchain for secure and immutable medical records, and a digital asset known as the SCANAI token to incentivize participation within a decentralized health ecosystem.

..... Says “The Body Scan AI application which is yet to be deployed”, according to him, “is designed to empower individuals with AI-driven tools, protect patient data through blockchain security, and facilitate seamless transactions via decentralized exchanges such as Raydium.

An advocacy call for a stronger national engagement, in line with global trends, for Nigerians to embrace Blockchain, digital assets and artificial intelligence that would see  Nigeria to move from observation to active participation in the rapidly evolving decentralized digital ecosystem, has been made in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Making this call is Prince Ozioma Nwankwo, Chief Executive Officer of Dama Academy during a press conference organized by the Academy, in collaboration with the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) in Abuja on Tuesday.

Nwankwo, while delivering his keynote address, highlighted the global transformation driven by blockchain and AI, referencing the rise of decentralized finance through Bitcoin, artificial intelligence advancements from OpenAI, and enterprise blockchain adoption by institutions such as IBM in the United States, stressing that these technologies enable transparent systems, inclusive financial structures, tokenized economies and data-driven healthcare solutions.

“Africa must not be left behind. Nigeria must not be left behind. Our youths must not be left behind,” he said.

Nwankwo, in a is very precise and concise address, introduced Body Scan AI; a health-focused innovation that combines artificial intelligence for diagnostics, blockchain for secure and immutable medical records, and a digital asset known as the SCANAI token to incentivize participation within a decentralized health ecosystem.

“The Body Scan AI application which is yet to be deployed”, according to him, “is designed to empower individuals with AI-driven tools, protect patient data through blockchain security, and facilitate seamless transactions via decentralized exchanges such as Raydium.

He implored journalists present, to promote informed reporting, reduce misinformation and encourage responsible innovation, noting that “the future economy will reward those who prepare and engage early.”

Speaking at the Press Conference, Moses Obaje, Dama Academy Instructor disclosed that  the AI-powered health monitoring system is designed to analyze health-related data points including emotional indicators, body mass index (BMI), posture patterns, lifestyle quality metrics and other biometric signals.

Obaje, a.k.a AI Prof, who spoke via zoom from Zamfara state in the northeast region of Nigeria, pointed out that the system is capable of detecting early warning signs of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, fibroids and cardiovascular conditions. He explained that the Body Scan AI model draws conceptual inspiration from advancements in intelligent systems similar to those developed by OpenAI, where machine learning models analyze large datasets to generate predictive insights.

“The technology aims to shift healthcare from reactive treatment to preventive intelligence. The second layer of the system relies on blockchain technology for secure, decentralized storage of medical records.” He further explained.

“Blockchain, first popularized through digital assets such as Bitcoin, is being repurposed in this initiative as a secure cloud-based infrastructure for health data management.

“Health consultations can be recorded on blockchain, patient records become tamper-resistant, data integrity is preserved, unauthorized third-party interference is eliminated and patients maintain control over who accesses their medical data. Blockchain ensures privacy, transparency and data ownership,” he said, noting that individuals can share their health information directly with consultants without intermediary control.

According to the AI Prof, “another layer of the system introduces a digital token mechanism within a health and wellness marketplace.

“Under this model, users earn or exchange tokens. Tokens can be used for health-related products and services, wellness participation can be incentivized and preventive health engagement becomes economically rewarding.”

He noted that the model could support national campaigns to reduce obesity, heart disease and other chronic illnesses by encouraging healthier lifestyle choices through digital incentives.

Another member of the Dama Academy who called in from the UK, Paul Elombah allayed the fears of the attendees stressing that investment in Body Scan AI isn’t a ponzi scheme.

Elombah, fondly addressed as “Elopee”, urged Nigerians to commence purchase of the token, counselling that, after the deployment of the Body Scan AI Application, the token may not be available as only 1 billion tokens is provided for.
