Assessing accuracy and performance: of recording mRDT results, result stability over time, and AI RDT reading, a collection of publications from a 4-country study in Africa
Malaria Journal Collection available here
Audere, PATH, and partners across Benin, Nigeria, Uganda, and Côte d'Ivoire have published a series of papers with results from a 4-country operational research study to understand the agreement of mRDT results reported by healthcare workers and Audere’s HealthPulse AI interpretations to understand and improve surveillance.
