Using Artificial Intelligence to Predict Disease Emergence in Uganda

Joseph Mulabbi of Comzine Tech And Investments Limited - Dromedic Health Care in Uganda will use ChatGPT-4 to optimize the surveillance of zoonotic diseases and predict future pandemics. Zoonoses are infectious human diseases that originate from animals and represent over 75% of all emerging diseases. Predicting the emergence of a zoonotic disease currently requires manual monitoring of the dynamic interactions between humans and livestock, which is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to delays. Together with relevant stakeholders, they will build DROMEDIC-AI, a ChatGPT-4 AI platform trained with large volumes of text from diverse sources, such as news articles, social media, and clinical notes, where farmers can upload photos of sick animals and receive advice. The platform will also generate risk assessments and maps of hotspots and inform health officials to help them better monitor potential outbreaks. They will collect user interaction data and feedback on its performance.
