The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded a $383,192 Project Grant under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) to Rhode Island Hospital, a division of Lifespan Corporation, to evaluate the use of a smartphone-based, non-invasive method for detecting anemia in young children in Western Kenya.

This research seeks to develop and validate a mobile health (mHealth) screening tool that can accurately diagnose anemia, a common and serious public health issue affecting over 50% of children in low- and middle-income countries. Through the project, the researchers will work with a community advisory board to assess the acceptability and feasibility of implementing this anemia screening intervention. They will also evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the mHealth tool in detecting anemia among Kenyan children, including those who are HIV-exposed and unexposed. If found to be a valid approach, the screening tool will be integrated into the local healthcare system with plans to measure implementation outcomes and assess the clinical impact of this mHealth-based anemia screening and treatment program.

The project includes two sub-awards to Indiana University and MOI University College of Health Sciences in Kenya to contribute specialized expertise in areas like biostatistics, implementation science, and community health interventions.
