🗣️ Our goal is simple: to create AI that works with healthcare workers, not instead of them.

Our App is being designed to provide AI-supported suggestions, while allowing health workers to compare them with their own observations and clinical judgement. Learn how ⬇️. #AI4Health

How can #AI support, not replace, health workers?

The SkincAIr App is being designed to provide AI-supported suggestions, while allowing health workers to compare them with their own clinical judgement.

🎯 The goal is simple: develop technology that works alongside health workers. #DigitalHealth #ResponsibleAI

📢 COOMING SOON!

What happens when technology meets the frontline of healthcare?

In the first episode of "A Moment with Dr Tahir", the Executive Director at @LTRNigeria will address this question & SkincAIr exploring what it could mean for future access to specialist care.

[SkincAIr project @SkincAIr]

The projects approach different health challenges, but there is potential for collaboration across them. From digital health systems and federated research infrastructure to AI-enabled diagnostics and the generation of high-quality health data.

How can we make #DigitalHealth and #AIResearch more connected, collaborative and relevant to the realities of healthcare in #Africa?

This is one of the questions behind #DigiHealthAllianceAfrica, where SkincAIr is coming together with four other @EDCTP3 -funded projects: LINDA-FAMILIA, AFRICAI-RI, CAD LUS4TB and IMCI+.

[SkincAIr project @SkincAIr]

TeaCup Lab hosted an excellent internal workshop to present their insights from their last fieldwork trip to #Senegal.

They are essential for everyone in the consortium to understand the current status of #UXResearch.

✨ At SkincAIr, we believe that teamwork is the key to success.

Throwback to a major milestone for SkincAIr! ➡️ The shipment of phones to all the countries taking part in the #DataCollection process.

🗣️"We realised early on that these apps were very important if we wanted to make the most of data collection."
