Improving diagnosis in developing countries | Mohammed Dalwai

TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences.
Triaging is a process in which doctors ask patients a set of standardized questions to assess their condition and choose the best treatment. This is difficult in developing countries with limited resources and busy doctors -- mistakes happen, and they can cost lives. In this important talk, TED Fellow Mohammed Dalwai introduces the Open Medicine Project, an app that asks standard medical questions and helps process results. This app has been proven to aid doctors and will be used in twenty-five cities in South Africa.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
