Connected diagnostics are increasing the speed at which diagnostic data is available from communities to decision-makers, enabling swift and effective public health responses. With the availability of AI-based tools, there is now further potential for leapfrogging traditional diagnostic gaps. This event serves as a pivotal platform for exchanging insights on the sustainable inclusion of connected diagnostics and AI solutions in low- and middle-income countries.
