Infant Facial Recognition for Vaccine Delivery Tracking
Harvey Rubin
Year Awarded:
2014-15
This project sought to use facial recognition to develop a robust, simple, reliable method to identify, track, and record infants as they receive their vaccines -- a major requirement for every vaccine program in the world. While this may be straightforward in the developed world, in many areas, especially remote regions of the world, no such method is available. This has been amply recognized by the major groups working in this space including GAVI, the Gates Foudation and UNICEF.
