Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the healthcare sector, presenting significant prospects for the advancement of patient care, the augmentation of medical research, and the optimization of healthcare administration. This talk delves into applications of AI within the healthcare domain, with a particular focus on its role in addressing tropical neglected diseases (NTD). In the context of tropical neglected diseases, AI has emerged as a powerful tool for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring. In this tutorial, Professor Patricia Endo will discuss research projects focused on NTDs such as tuberculosis, arboviruses, and leprosy, presenting some low-cost solutions her research group has been developing.
