Mirage News (Australia) published an article on a new AI project. With a $1.2 million grant, an international team of researchers will assess the feasibility of creating and launching a global-scale artificial-intelligence (AI) app for mobile devices that diagnoses diet-related problems and offers nutritional advice to adolescent girls living in urban settings in Ghana and Vietnam. Senior Research Fellow Aulo Gelli said, “This project involves a new interdisciplinary collaboration between IFPRI, Penn State, the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research at the University of Ghana and the National Institute of Nutrition and the Thai Nguyen University of Pharmacy and Medicine in Vietnam, working together to extend new technology with the potential to change ‘business as usual’ and improve the lives of millions of adolescents.” Republished in News Medical.net (Reach 343K), Penn State.
