A new app to track malnutrition in India using Microsoft's AI tech

Welthungerhilfe, one of Germany's largest private aid organisations, in collaboration with the India chapter of Action Against Hunger, has launched an app called Child Growth Monitor. The app uses Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence technology to monitor children's growth and levels of nutrition, and helps in fighting malnutrition. Child Growth Monitor has been launched as a pilot project in India. The app scans nearly 10,000 children under the age of five for signs of malnutrition. It is powered by Microsoft Azure and AI services.
