AI-Enhanced Clinical Decision Support for Nurse-Led Health Posts in Rwanda: Disrupting Primary Healthcare in Africa - "The AI-Enabled Nurse Project"

David Kamugundu of eFiche Limited in Rwanda will develop an AI-based platform to support nurses in Rwanda in accurate and efficient diagnosis and patient treatment. The platform will be integrated into the already-operational, web-based electronic medical records system eFiche. It will serve as a virtual assistant for nurses, including providing diagnostic support, suggesting treatment plans based on the latest medical guidelines and assessing adherence, and identifying potential adverse events. They will train a Large Language Model with historical health data to help predict diagnostic outcomes, laboratory orders, and subsequent procedures and prescriptions, and they will develop a chatbot to provide information and recommendations to nurses in a conversational manner. They will evaluate the platform based on the accuracy of the model, satisfaction of users, and the impact on healthcare delivery, including diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficacy, and adherence to health guidelines.
