He also received a Fulbright Global Scholar Fellowship to continue his work in Africa, where he was joined by Dr Jessica Pelletier, Emergency Medicine Education Fellow at Washington University in St Louis, United States. Dr Thomas is the Co-founder and President of Techies without Borders (TWB), a global non-profit organisation that aims to harness the power of technology for education and healthcare; Dr Pelletier is TWB’s Africa coordinator.
The team also conducted extensive data collection for a multi-national study undertaken as a collaborative research initiative involving the University of Sydney and partners in the United States (Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and Claremont Graduate University, California) and Africa (Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, The Gambia; University of Calabar, Nigeria; JUHRI, Nigeria; and, Samaritan Health Systems, Uganda).
Dr Thomas added: “We have now surpassed our volunteers’ capacities. Our next challenge is to expand the CMES technology to accommodate new CME content including HD videos and images, as well as the use of language models to enhance knowledge retrieval. This will require hiring IT experts.”
