Hey @makerereAI wanna do a collab/partnership

Attending the AI in Health Africa Conference,the Conference Chair Rose Nakasi,PhD from @MakCoCIS emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary AI engagement

Great insights from Dr. Rose Nakasi at #AIinHealthAfrica conference. She emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between research & implementation. While research is essential, a supportive ecosystem is crucial to translate these findings into real-world impact.

Solomon Nsumba, the Technical Team Lead at @Makerere AI Health Lab, presented Ocular at the #AIinHealthAfrica this morning. Ocular is an AI-powered point-of-care tool for diagnosing Malaria, TB, and Cervical Cancer. Technology is disrupting everything & Ugandans aren’t sleeping.

Generative AI plays a crucial role in surveying infectious diseases, particularly during pandemics, such as malaria. It allows clinicians to gather an overall picture of the disease, allowing for more accurate diagnosis. @Makerere @MoICT_Ug @MinofHealthUG #AIinHealthAfrica
