Abstract

Purpose of review: This opinion piece aims to explore the transformative potential of integrating artificial intelligence with digital microscopy to enhance diagnostics for soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis (SCH), two pervasive neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). By aligning innovative artificial intelligence-driven solutions with WHO's strategic objectives and calls for better, more accessible, and more integrated diagnostics, we highlight the latest advancements that may support improved health outcomes in affected communities.

Recent findings: The review covers recent advancements in artificial intelligence-based diagnostic technologies, emphasizing automated egg detection and quantification. These technologies promise to mitigate challenges such as human error and the need for skilled technicians.

Summary: The findings have significant implications for public health, ethical considerations and regulatory pathways, particularly in resource-limited settings. The authors advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration and a strategic focus on meeting WHO target product profiles to ensure uptake, ultimately to support reaching WHO NTD targets.

利用人工智能显微镜改进对土壤传播的蠕虫病和血吸虫病的诊断:最新进展和未来途径综述。
综述的目的:这篇评论文章旨在探讨将人工智能与数字显微技术相结合的变革潜力,以加强对土壤传播的蠕虫病(STH)和血吸虫病(SCH)这两种普遍被忽视的热带疾病(NTD)的诊断。通过将人工智能驱动的创新解决方案与世卫组织的战略目标以及对更好、更易获得和更综合的诊断方法的呼吁相结合,我们重点介绍了可能有助于改善受影响社区健康状况的最新进展:本综述涵盖了基于人工智能的诊断技术的最新进展,强调了鸡蛋的自动检测和量化。这些技术有望减少人为错误和对熟练技术人员的需求等挑战。总结:研究结果对公共卫生、伦理考虑和监管途径具有重要影响,尤其是在资源有限的环境中。作者主张开展跨学科合作,并将战略重点放在满足世卫组织的目标产品要求上,以确保产品的普及,最终支持实现世卫组织的非传染性疾病目标。
