According to our latest #UZIMA_DS study, nearly half of health care workers experience significant depressive symptoms yearly. This finding underscores the urgent need to prioritise the #mentalhealth of those at the heart of our health system. Learn more: uzimadatascience.org/wp-content/upl…

Congrats Andrew Aballa and team! #UZIMA_DS @AKU_BMI @AKU_IHD @UM_cghe

The #UZIMA_DS Hub aims to leverage advancements in artificial intelligence, machine Learning, & mobile innovations to improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes, as well as #mentalhealth outcomes of adolescents and young adults in Africa.

#UZIMA_DS hub & the research we are undertaking, has been made possible through the partnership between @AKUglobal & @UMich. “We went into this partnership because of a common purpose and a common good,” Joe Kolars, Director of the Centre for Global Health Equity. #UZIMA_DS2025

The #UZIMA_DS Hub annual meeting commenced yesterday in Naivasha, Kenya, with opening remarks from our lead researchers Prof Amina Abubakar & Prof @AkbarWaljee. They emphasised the need for a collaborative platform & the communication of our research to the communities we serve.

The ability to effectively communicate complex scientific information to communities and policy makers is critical. Love seeing the work of #UZIMA_DS in action! @AKU_GSMC @akuihd @DSI_Africa

Over 70 experts in healthcare, data science, and key stakeholders gathered for #UZIMA_DS2024 to explore the future of African Health Research. Using machine learning and AI tech to identify health risks, #UZIMA_DS is the largest data science initiative in AKU's history. GSMC is co-leading the dissemination and sustainability core to drive impactful and sustainable health outcomes through storytelling. Together with our partners at @UMich & @KEMRI_Wellcome, we're shaping innovative solutions and driving progress in the developing world. #UZIMA_DS

We are shining a spotlight on the women in the DS-I Africa Consortium toward the run up to International Women’s day 8 March 2024. They’ll share their stories and what inspires them! Meet Mrs Dorcas Mwigereri from UZIMA-DS. dsi-africa.org/project/8

As Vice Provost Research @virani_md said, "We are not here to prove, we are here to IMPROVE." That is just what #UZIMA_DS aims to do. @akuihd, @AKUGlobal, @ResearchAKU, @UM_cghe, @AKU_BMI, @AKU_GSMC, @DSI_Africa, @Fogarty_NIH, @PRECISE_network

I'm a day late for #WomenInScienceDay but so many amazing women in science at annual meeting of #UZIMA_DS in maternal and mental health! Co-led by Amina Abubakar, comms led by @muhache, data led by @FAlarakhiya and excellent early career women scientists like @angela_koech

Jambo from Kilifi, Kenya! Opening the annual meeting of the far-reaching #UZIMADS programme led by Amina Abubakar @AKUGlobal @AkbarWaljee @UMich. A pleasure to be a scientific advisor to this impressive research and capacity-building programme. uzimadatascience.org

Reflecting on a successful #UZIMA_DS Meeting, where we explored the power of data-driven solutions in transforming healthcare in Low to Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Grateful for the meaningful discussions and collaborations. #UZIMA_DS #HealthcareImpact #UZIMA_DS_2024 #MentalHealthMatters @Fogarty_NIH

@UM_cghe @AKUGlobal Kudos to Dr. Abubakar and the @akuihd team for their exceptional fieldwork and transformative impact in health in Kenya's most remote areas. Their dedication under the NIH #UZIMA_DS grant is bringing vital change where it's most needed. #GlobalHealth @Fogarty_NIH @AKUGlobal

Meet our valued partner Dr. Amina Abubhakar, director of the Institute for Human Development at @AKUGlobal and long-time advocate for global health equity. Watch the full interview on our 📺Youtube channel: youtu.be/w55v0dGAFfA

“Very quickly now, industry is replacing basic science that used to be done in universities. They can move faster, they’re more agile, and they’ve got a lot more money to put into it. And so the question is, ‘Are we OK with that as a society?’” statnews.com/2023/11/15/lif…

Special thanks to Dr. Joseph Kamau for today's seminar sharing his current research exploring the intersection of climate change, public health, and disease spillover!

What better way to end the @DSI_Africa Consortium meeting than an #UZIMA_DS team dinner with some of our incredibly supportive @Fogarty_NIH partners. @AKUGlobal @akuihd @AKU_BMI @PRECISE_network @UM_cghe #DataScience
