PATH Launches Landmark AI Study in Africa Exploring LLMs’ Potential in Health Diagnoses

PATH has launched Africa’s largest study of its kind, enrolling 9,000 participants to test whether AI can help primary care clinicians improve diagnoses and treatment decisions in resource-limited settings. The Seattle-based nonprofit is using large language models (LLM) at Nairobi clinics to analyze symptoms, histories, provider notes, and lab results to support care planning.
