Our app is built for both online & offline use especially for areas with limited internet & overstretched lab staff. It cuts diagnosis time from 30 to just 5–8 mins, serving as a “second opinion” to support faster, better care. 🔗 #AIForGlobalGoals

Be sure to pass by our stall at the #ICTJobFair2024 to learn about our work supporting lab technicians with a decision support tool that leverages computer vision to automate disease diagnosis for malaria, TB and cervical cancer. #AIForGlobalGoals

Advancing TB Detection with AI. Our team is training annotators to label TB Bacilli in medical images using CVAT-an annotation tool. This effort aims to develop AI models that can accurately detect TB Bacilli, improving diagnosis efficiency and reliability. #AIforGlobalGoals

Uganda has a high TB burden & relies on traditional smear microscopy for diagnosis. Ocular is improving TB detection by integrating AI into this process. Our AI-powered solution analyzes smears, identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis more efficiently. #AIforGlobalGoals

Happy to have met with the @Lung_Institute. Their research on lung diseases is inspiring. We found strong alignment in tackling TB, a key focus for Ocular. Excited to explore how AI can enhance diagnosis and provide deeper insights into TB surveillance. #AIForGlobalGoals

Our Ocular project launch featured on @newvisionwire page 8. #GoogleOrg #AIForGlobalGoals

Don't miss our lab lead, @RoseNakasikiire, at #HIC2024. She will be alongside a panel of experts discussing AI, blockchain & healthcare tech. Pass by our booth & see how our AI-powered decision support tools help healthcare workers. #AIforGlobalGoals

@RoseNakasikiire presented our solution to @DrMusenero, Minister of @STIsecretariat at #HIC2024 . This tool empowers lab technicians to make accurate diagnoses for malaria, TB, and cervical cancer, addressing the shortage of lab techs in rural Uganda. #AIforGlobalGoals

Exciting news!. The @AI_HealthLabMak officially launches today. Huge congratulations to lab lead & my former PhD student; Dr. @RoseNakasikiire for this accomplishment! . The lab paves way for leveraging AI to tackle healthcare challenges in Uganda and Africa. #AIforGlobalGoals

Celebrating #WorldCancerDay. We're tackling cervical cancer in Uganda, a leading cause of death among women. We're leveraging computer vision to improve diagnosis, especially in rural areas with limited screening services. #AIForGlobalGoals

Be sure to pass-by our booth at the #UGDevSummit and learn how we're empowering lab technicians with our AI-powered disease diagnosis tool. #AIForGlobalGoals

We'll be at the 5th Business Trendsetter's forum under the theme: AI, Your Mind & Your business, showcasing how we leverage AI as a decision support tool for lab technicians during disease diagnosis. #AIForGlobalGoals

#Makerere Launches a $1.5 Million #Google-funded Project for Disease Diagnosis. One of the challenges faced in microscopy in Sub Saharan Africa – Uganda inclusive includes the shortage of experts to microscopy even when the equipment is available. #GoogleOrg .#AIforGlobalGoals

Our team is back in the field collaborating with lab technicians across Uganda to collect vital data. This data is key to training our mobile microscopy models, ensuring they are representative of the communities we serve. #AIForGlobalGoals

On this Independence Day, let's celebrate Uganda's progress and look towards an AI-powered future for healthcare. #AIforGlobalGoals

A recap of our interns presenting their learnings with the team. They worked on data analysis for malaria and cancer, UI/UX interfaces for our tool and learnt how to work the 3D printer which produces adapters that support the phone to microscope alignment. #AIforGlobalGoals

Tomorrow's the big day!. We're excited to be part of the #AIinHealthAfrica Conference. Our team will be sharing how we've used AI to support lab technicians in disease diagnosis decisions. Almost a year on, we we can't wait to show you what we've achieved. #AIforGlobalGoals

Happy New Year from the Makerere AI Health Lab! We're excited to see what 2025 brings in advancing AI for a healthier Africa. Wishing you all a year filled with joy, health, and innovation. #AIforGlobalGoals

Our disease diagnosis tool empowers lab techs in rural healthcare centers, helping them serve more patients efficiently. By providing decision support, we aim to reduce wait times and improve overall healthcare outcomes. #AIForGlobalGoals

We’re at the 5th Business Trendsetters Forum hosted by @Business_galore! . Stop by our booth to learn how our AI-powered disease microscopy tool is supporting lab techs in understaffed facilities with automated diagnoses for TB, cervical cancer & malaria. #AIforGlobalGoals
