Research Assistant in Ai/iot to Develop Connected
7 months ago
**Job Purpose**
The aim of this project is to develop innovations to improve the healthcare pathways of individuals in low-resource under-served rural communities using digital medicine and mobile diagnostics, in Sub-Saharan Africa. The post is part of Digital Innovations and Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases in Africa project (DIDIDA), which brings together 14 partners, both academic and industrial, from eight countries: Kenya, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, and Italy.
The digital diagnostic platform will be portable, reliable and affordable and co-developed with stakeholders. The work at the University of Glasgow will be focused on combining artificial intelligence-based signal quantification and cloud-based data analytics with novel nucleic-acid based tests in a disposable cartridge enabling result read out on a lateral flow strip - for the integration within national surveillance systems. The work has the potential to enable better care for patients by providing a simple, cost-effective mobile autonomous diagnostic solution capable of diagnosing multiple diseases, including malaria, in a single session. It will also link these conditions to non-communicable diseases including hypertension or diabetes, drawing upon expertise in the use of digital wearables for monitoring co-morbidities.
