๐ Empowering Nutrition Insights: The AI-Driven Approach to Combat Malnutrition in Kenya
Amref Health Africa serves over 24 million people in Kenya, focusing on combating child malnutrition in the semi-arid Kinango sub-county. Persistent food insecurity due to inadequate rainfall contributes to high malnutrition rates. Amref, in collaboration with Microsoft, is developing a Food Nutrition Dashboard using AI technology. This dashboard integrates various data types, including weather patterns and clinical nutrition data, to predict and manage malnutrition risks effectively. It aims to enhance intervention strategies and resource mobilization, ultimately aiming to prevent malnutrition and improve children's health outcomes.
