MSF recruits 01 Senior mobile developer / Offline Mobile Application

MSF Foundation, a specialized entity created by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and dedicated to innovation, won the Google Artificial Intelligence Impact Challenge grant from a pool of 2,600 candidates, to develop a smartphone application that would help doctors and clinicians diagnose antibiotic resistance in low-resource settings.

The application, known as ASTapp, would use image processing and artificial intelligence technology to make it easier for non-expert microbiologists to interpret tests that measure resistance to antibiotics. This will help guide clinicians on the best course of treatment and better ensure that patients are receiving the most appropriate antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance (ABR) has been recognized as an international public health challenge and is expected to be the leading cause of death globally in 50 years.
