Using data science to improve health management in Africa
This study is all about helping nurses and clinic managers in South Africa and Kenya use easy-to-understand tools to track health data, so they can better manage patients with multiple health issues, even if they don't have a background in data science.
-
Improving early risk prediction for cardiometabolic diseases in Africa
This study is looking to improve how we predict heart and metabolic diseases in African communities by combining different types of information, like genetics and lifestyle habits, to help identify people who are at higher risk and provide them with better health advice.
-
Exploring genetic causes of developmental disorders in Africa
This study is looking at the genetic causes of developmental disorders in African communities to help doctors better understand and diagnose these conditions, using advanced technology and data to find answers that have been missed before.
-
Improving heart health for people living with HIV in South Africa
This study is looking to help people living with HIV in South Africa by making it easier to check and treat high blood pressure and diabetes, which can lead to heart problems, using friendly support and tools to improve their health.
-
Improving STI treatment for young women using rapid testing and partner therapy
This study is helping young women in South Africa who are at risk for HIV by offering quick tests and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, so they can stay healthier and better protect themselves from HIV.
-
Finding ways to reduce health problems caused by climate change in Africa
This study is working on new ways to help people in Africa stay healthy as climate change causes more heat and rising temperatures, so that those most affected can get better support and care.
-
Exploring the health challenges of multiple diseases in Africa using digital tools
This study is looking at how different health problems affect people in Africa, especially in Kenya and South Africa, and aims to use data to find better ways to improve health for everyone.
