An artificial intelligence-powered digital pathology platform to support large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminthiasis and intestinal schistosomiasis in resource-limited settings

2026Open accessJimma University

Abstract

The AI-DP platform demonstrates potential as a tool for efficient monitoring and evaluation of STH and SCH control programs by providing near-real-time data with quality controls. However, further validation studies are needed to assess its clinical diagnostic performance, field usability, and cost-effectiveness in large-scale STH and SCH deworming programs. Given that the platform also provides a pipeline for any microscopy-based diagnosis, its potential for other NTDs also needs further attention.
