Summary

This study tests whether a mobile app using artificial intelligence can help frontline health workers in Africa better detect skin-related neglected tropical diseases. About 2,420 people in Kenya, Ethiopia, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Nigeria will take part. Researchers will compare how accurately health workers diagnose skin conditions with and without the app, and see if skills improve over time.
