Leveraging AI and Machine Learning to Develop and Evaluate a Contextualized User-Friendly Cough Audio Classifier for Detecting Respiratory Diseases: Protocol for a Diagnostic Study in Rural Tanzania.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Respiratory diseases, including active tuberculosis (TB), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), constitute substantial global health challenges, necessitating timely and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment and m...

Tanzania's and Germany's Digital Health Strategies and Their Consistency With the World Health Organization's Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2025: Comparative Policy Analysis.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the fast-paced adoption of digital health (DH) technologies has transformed health care delivery. However, this rapid evolution has also led to challenges such as uncoordinated development and information silos, impeding ...

Machine learning prediction of gestational age from metabolic screening markers resistant to ambient temperature transportation: Facilitating use of this technology in low resource settings of South Asia and East Africa.

Journal of global health
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of gestational age is critical for guiding preterm neonatal care. In the last decade, metabolic gestational dating approaches emerged in response to a global health need; because in most of the developing world, accurate antenat...

Prediction of low Apgar score at five minutes following labor induction intervention in vaginal deliveries: machine learning approach for imbalanced data at a tertiary hospital in North Tanzania.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Prediction of low Apgar score for vaginal deliveries following labor induction intervention is critical for improving neonatal health outcomes. We set out to investigate important attributes and train popular machine learning (ML) algorit...

Detection of malaria parasites in dried human blood spots using mid-infrared spectroscopy and logistic regression analysis.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological surveys of malaria currently rely on microscopy, polymerase chain reaction assays (PCR) or rapid diagnostic test kits for Plasmodium infections (RDTs). This study investigated whether mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy couple...

Machine Learning Model for Imbalanced Cholera Dataset in Tanzania.

TheScientificWorldJournal
Cholera epidemic remains a public threat throughout history, affecting vulnerable population living with unreliable water and substandard sanitary conditions. Various studies have observed that the occurrence of cholera has strong linkage with enviro...

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants in Northern Tanzania and their distribution between breast milk, maternal blood, placenta and cord blood.

Environmental research
Human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begins during pregnancy and may cause adverse health effects in the fetus or later in life. The present study aimed to assess prenatal POPs exposure to Tanzanian infants and evaluate the distribu...

Adaptive modelling approach for predicting causes of death: insights from verbal autopsy data in Tanzania.

International health
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved the use of a verbal autopsy (VA), a survey-based approach to generate out-of-hospital causes of death (CoDs). Through this study, an adaptive Bayesian networks machine learning model was de...

Exploring the impact of generative AI tools on healthcare delivery in Tanzania.

Journal of health organization and management
PURPOSE: This study explores the impact of generative AI tools on healthcare delivery in Tanzania. It examines its potential to enhance efficiency, accessibility and decision-making in health informatics while addressing infrastructure, ethics and eq...
