Malaria Consortium’s Pneumonia Diagnostics project aimed to identify the most accurate, acceptable, scalable and user-friendly respiratory rate timers and pulse oximeters for the diagnosis of pneumonia symptoms in children by community health workers and first-level health facility workers. This Learning Paper details the challenges and successes encountered in implementing the project, and provides recommendations to parties interested in conducting similar studies.
This Learning Paper accompanies the Pneumonia Diagnostics project ‘protocol’ film, which is a ‘how to’ guide to designing and implementing a study on diagnostic aids.
