# 2021 Malnutritional Digital Assistant |
|
An innovative digital assistant for malnutrition prevention, the MDA is able to accurately determine the nutritional status of children in countries where there is little access to health centres, trained health staff and up-to-date equipment. The assistant works by taking pictures of specific body parts and uses AI algorithms and geometric morphometric techniques to analyse and determine whether or not malnutrition is evident. It can then advise on treatments and appropriate food supplements. As well as identifying children suffering from malnutrition, the MDA will reduce the treatment time, mortality rate, government costs and increase awareness.
