A Rwandan digital tool cut unnecessary child antibiotic use by 63% in rural clinics, aiding accurate diagnoses with minimal training.
In rural Rwanda, a digital tablet tool called ePOCT+ has reduced unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions in pediatric visits from 71% to 25% across 32 clinics.
The tool guides nurses through symptom assessments and simple tests like oxygen and hemoglobin levels, helping distinguish viral from bacterial infections.
It improved diagnosis of conditions like malnutrition and anemia, supported better care without worsening outcomes, and required only one day of training.
The Rwandan government is considering a wider rollout, seeing the tool as a scalable solution to combat antimicrobial resistance in low-resource settings.
