And more🦟flight tones are also arriving from DRC! As in Tanzania, this trial will help us to understand whether incentives improve local community collection of mosquito sound data using smartphones. Thank you @MeteloEmery & @ZangaJosue at Kinshasa School of Public Health! 🙏👏

The second phase of the incentive payment trial in Tanzania is going really well! Many new mosquito flight tones are uploaded to our server by the participants. Thank you @winniepascal, @ekaindoa and Dickson Msaky at @ifakarahealth for your hard work!🙌🙌🙌

We use the PSDS @audioanalytic score as our metric, a threshold-independent score, ensuring submissions are ranked on the quality of their models, and not penalised for choosing a threshold that unfavourably trades off false positives and negatives.
