The Cough for TB – HCW app is an AI-powered cough-sounds-based screening solution to assess the likelihood of pulmonary tuberculosis in individuals, for the early detection and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). This App is intended to be used by healthcare workers (HCW).
HCWs designated by the National TB Elimination Program (NTEP). The subjects can be the general population of India from 18–100 years of age, who are not on a TB treatment regimen. Informed consent from parents/ or guardians is required for the screening of subjects below 18 years of age.
We are firmly committed to protecting your privacy. Our privacy policy is available here.
The HCW agrees that they will only use the App in good faith and will not provide false or misleading information about themselves, the subject, or their symptomatic and clinical status. The HCW agrees that they will not indulge in any act that may impair the performance or functionality of the App.
The app can be installed on any smartphone with the following minimum specifications:
The App authenticates the HCW using an OTP delivered on the registered mobile number via SMS.
The App registers and authenticates the HCW using personal information, NTEP programmatic information (location and level posting), and OTP delivered via SMS (as detailed in the Privacy Policy).
Personal and symptomatic data of the subject needs to be entered, as per the instructions provided in the form. HCWs should refer to Annexure 1 and Annexure 2 for safety measures.
Before recording the cough sounds, please ensure the following for each subject:
DOs
DON’Ts
The App processes the symptomatic data along with the cough audio and provides the results as follows (please refer to the Disclaimer section for more information about the results):
Likely to have pulmonary tuberculosis
Based on the automated inference, the individual’s chances of having pulmonary tuberculosis are high and they should consult a doctor and get tested to confirm the diagnosis.
Not likely to have pulmonary tuberculosis
Based on the automated inference, the individual’s chances of having pulmonary tuberculosis are low and they should consult a physician if symptoms continue.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
An ML Engineer at Wadhwani AI will be responsible for building robust machine learning solutions to problems of societal importance; usually under the guidance of senior ML scientists, and in collaboration with dedicated software engineers. To our partners, a Wadhwani AI solution is generally a decision making tool that requires some piece of data to engage. It will be your responsibility to ensure that the information provided using that piece of data is sound. This not only requires robust learned models, but pipelines over which those models can be built, tweaked, tested, and monitored. The following subsections provide details from the perspective of solution design:
Early stage of proof of concept (PoC)
Late PoC
This is early to mid-stage of AI product development
Post PoC
Responsibilities during production deployment
We realize this list is broad and extensive. While the ideal candidate has some exposure to each of these topics, we also envision great candidates being experts at some subset. If either of those cases happens to be you, please apply.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Master’s degree or above in a STEM field. Several years of experience getting their hands dirty applying their craft.
Programming
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As an ML Scientist at Wadhwani AI, you will be responsible for building robust machine learning solutions to problems of societal importance, usually under the guidance of senior ML scientists. You will participate in translating a problem in the social sector to a well-defined AI problem, in the development and execution of algorithms and solutions to the problem, in the successful and scaled deployment of the AI solution, and in defining appropriate metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the deployed solution.
In order to apply machine learning for social good, you will need to understand user challenges and their context, curate and transform data, train and validate models, run simulations, and broadly derive insights from data. In doing so, you will work in cross-functional teams spanning ML modeling, engineering, product, and domain experts. You will also interface with social sector organizations as appropriate.
REQUIREMENTS
Associate ML scientists will have a strong academic background in a quantitative field (see below) at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level, with project experience in applied machine learning. They will possess demonstrable skills in coding, data mining and analysis, and building and implementing ML or statistical models. Where needed, they will have to learn and adapt to the requirements imposed by real-life, scaled deployments.
Candidates should have excellent communication skills and a willingness to adapt to the challenges of doing applied work for social good.
