Abstract

This project aims to deliver a set of contextualized and equitable end-to-end AI and data systems that target the surveillance and management of COVID-19 and future pandemics that may affect Uganda. The project will focus on using AI systems to analyze radio conversations to improve understanding of and to address public perceptions of COVID-19 and interventions aimed at understanding their connection with COVID-19 transmissions and interventions. It will also explore new innovations for diagnosing and treating COVID-19 using AI tools to support screening.
