We recently partnered with Germany’s Welthungerhilfe and Microsoft for a pilot project using artificial intelligence to tackle malnutrition among children.

As part of this project we will be screening 10,000 children in the
states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan using an app called
as Child Growth Monitor, developed by Welthungerhilfe and powered by
Microsoft’s Azure and AI services. This app identifies the signs of
malnutrition in children through a camera based 3D scan and can be used
by health workers on ground to save time and provide crucial lifesaving
treatment to children.

This platform will help us in early identification of children
suffering from malnutrition thereby reducing treatment time. On a
successful pilot, this will become part of all our programs in the near
future.
