BACKGROUND: Despite substantial progress in maternal and neonatal health, Rwanda's mortality rates remain high, necessitating innovative approaches to meet health related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By leveraging data collected from Electro...
BACKGROUND: Stunting is a serious public health concern in Rwanda, affecting around 33.3% of children under five in 2020. The researchers have employed machine learning algorithms to predict stunting in Rwanda; however, few studies used ANNs, despite...
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is an important snail-borne parasitic disease whose transmission is exacerbated by water resource management activities. In Rwanda, meeting the growing population's demand for food has led to wetlands reclamation for culti...
BACKGROUND: Adverse pregnancy outcomes pose significant risk to maternal and neonatal health, contributing to morbidity, mortality, and long-term developmental challenges. This study aimed to predict these outcomes in Rwanda using supervised machine ...
