ThumaDx is a high-impact, multi-modal healthcare platform designed to bridge the critical 24-hour survival window for children in rural Africa. By placing hospital-grade diagnostic intelligence in the hands of Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), it transforms a slow, paper-based system into a real-time, data-driven life-saving network. ``` ████████╗██╗ ██╗██╗ ██╗███╗ ███╗ █████╗ ██████╗ ██╗ ██╗ ╚══██╔══╝██║ ██║██║ ██║████╗ ████║██╔══██╗██╔══██╗╚██╗██╔╝ ██║ ███████║██║ ██║██╔████╔██║███████║██║ ██║ ╚███╔╝ ██║ ██╔══██║██║ ██║██║╚██╔╝██║██╔══██║██║ ██║ ██╔██╗ ██║ ██║ ██║╚██████╔╝██║ ╚═╝ ██║██║ ██║██████╔╝██╔╝ ██╗ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝╚═╝ ╚═╝╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ``` ### Intelligent Frontline Diagnostics for Rural West Africa *Triage. Detect. Alert. Before it's too late.* --- --- ## The Problem In rural West Africa, a child with acute **malaria** or **pneumonia** can die within **24 hours** of their first symptom. Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) — the only medical touchpoint for millions of people — rely on manual observation, paper forms, and slow reporting chains. By the time data reaches a district supervisor, the window to intervene has often already closed. **ThumaDx changes that.** --- --- ## What ThumaDx Does ThumaDx is a multi-modal clinical decision support platform that puts the diagnostic intelligence of a district hospital into the hands of a CHV in the field. A CHV describes symptoms in plain language or local Pidgin. ThumaDx converts that into a structured triage assessment — in real time, at the point of care — and simultaneously updates a live outbreak map visible to district officials. ``` CHV speaks or types symptoms │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────┐ │ ThumaDx Engine │ ← Gemini NLP + WHO clinical thresholds │ Symptom Analysis │ └───────────┬───────────┘ │ ┌──────┴──────┐ ▼ ▼ ┌─────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ MUAC │ │ Triage │ MONITOR / HIGH RISK / │ Image │ │ Classification│ URGENT REFERRAL / CRITICAL │ Vision │ └──────┬───────┘ │ API │ │ └────┬────┘ │ └──────┬───────┘ ▼ ┌───────────────────────┐ │ Firebase Firestore │ → GIS Dashboard → Outbreak Alerts └───────────────────────┘ ``` --- ## Core Capabilities ### 🩺 Precision Triage — Powered by Gemini CHVs describe w …
