A project from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) has jointly won second prize in the second competition of the Trinity Challenge on tackling the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
“OASIS: OneHealth Antimicrobial Stewardship for Informal Health Systems,” a project also from India that shared second place with the IIIT-Delhi project.
The Trinity Challenge is a charity that supports the creation of data-driven solutions to protect against global health threats.
In partnership with CHRI-PATH, 1mg.com, and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Tavpritesh Sethi of IIIT-Delhi led the project, “AMRSense: Empowering Communities with a Proactive One Health Ecosystem.”
Over the next three years, each joint second prize winner will receive £6,00,000 in funding .
All winners will also benefit from ongoing post-award innovation and scaling support.
AMRSense addresses the challenges of engaging, motivating, and training community health workers (CHWs) in AMR surveillance and management, which are further complicated by the lack of a comprehensive data ecosystem and analytics capabilities.
