Evaluating pneumonia diagnostic aids

Malaria Consortium’s pneumonia diagnostics project aimed to identify the most accurate, acceptable, scalable and user-friendly respiratory rate timers and pulse oximeters to help community health workers and first-level health facility workers diagnose pneumonia symptoms in children. This learning paper details the challenges and successes encountered in implementing the project, and provides recommendations to parties interested in conducting similar studies.

Also take a look at the film Implementing a trial to evaluate pneumonia diagnostic devices, which is a ‘how to’ guide to designing and implementing a study on diagnostic aids.
