Case study

CottonAce

• CottonAce is an AI-powered early warning system developed by Wadhwani AI, available through an app on Android smartphones.
• It helps farmers protect their crops by determining the right time to spray pesticides through immediate and localized advice.
• The AI technology analyzes photos of pests caught in traps which are uploaded by farmers and agriculture program workers, and classifies and counts the number of PBW or ABW found.

Newborn Anthropometry

• In the domain of maternal, newborn, and child health, Wadhwani AI’s mission is to use AI to reduce morbidity and mortality for mothers, newborns, and children under 6 years of age, in low-resource settings, by improving the quality of primary care, and strengthen the first 1000 days of life.
• Their AI solution for estimating the weight of a baby learns to map a set of baby pictures or a video to the baby’s weight. Currently, they are exploring deep learning methods that take as input a set of video frames,and directly estimate the baby’s weight by performing implicit reasoning about the baby’s shape and volume.
