The AI for Global Health Innovation (AI4GHI) Challenge 2024 asked researchers to submit AI-driven solutions which aim at tackling pressing global health challenges. In their paper “ExplainDengue - Dengue Outbreak Prediction System using Neurosymbolic GNNs Approach”, the three researchers present their innovative AI-solution ExplainDengue. Their contribution took the first place in the People’s Innovation Award.

About the AI tool
In contrast to other AI tools, ExplainDengue does not only predict outbreaks of the dengue disease but also explains reasons for the predictions. These explanations are highly important as they facilitate decision making in public health management and allow for the implementation of targeted measures. A video in which the researchers explain how the tool works can be found here.
