The World Health Organization (WHO) has released an enhanced version of its Skin NTDs App.
This app aims to aid front-line health workers in diagnosing and managing skin-related neglected tropical diseases.
The updated app, available on Android and iOS devices, now includes a logical, offline algorithm for accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.
It also offers multilingual support, with plans for further translations.
Additionally, the app provides learning resources and incorporates cutting-edge AI integration (in beta) for instant classification of skin lesions.
It has been developed in collaboration with Until No Leprosy Remains (NLR).
This comprehensive resource aligns with the latest WHO recommendations.
The users are encouraged to download, share, and provide feedback for continued improvements.
This development marks a significant stride in combating skin-related NTDs.
