Dr. Rose Nakasi is leading a groundbreaking initiative at Makerere University, utilizing AI to transform disease diagnostics in Uganda. The project focuses on diseases like tuberculosis, cervical cancer, and malaria, significantly reducing diagnosis time from 30 minutes to just two seconds. By employing machine learning and large datasets, the initiative aims to enhance healthcare efficiency and accuracy.
The Ocular project exemplifies how AI can alleviate the burden on lab technicians, allowing them to focus on patient care rather than tedious slide examinations. With a cost-effective setup that requires minimal equipment, this innovation addresses the pressing challenges of limited technical expertise and diagnostic delays in Africa. The potential for scaling this technology beyond Uganda could redefine healthcare diagnostics on a global scale.
