Polio Antenna

Overview

Polio Antenna enhances polio surveillance by equipping community health officers with a mobile app for use during home visits. Officers capture videos and photos of children with suspected cases, which are analyzed by AI in real time. Results are immediately reported to health officials, surveillance teams, and organizations such as the WHO, enabling faster, more coordinated responses.

The app also empowers parents to report symptoms quickly and receive instant guidance, helping families take timely action. By strengthening the connection between households, health officers, and surveillance systems, Polio Antenna improves the speed, coordination, and effectiveness of responses to potential polio outbreaks.

Responsible AI Practices

Polio Antenna upholds strict child protection standards by requiring explicit parental consent for all photo and video data collection. This ensures that sensitive information is collected ethically and responsibly, safeguarding children’s privacy while enabling effective AI-driven analysis for timely public health responses.
