 A project by the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), has won the joint second prize in Trinity Challenge’s second competition, on tackling the escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

About The Trinity Challenge (TTC):

• It is a charity supporting the creation of data-driven solutions to help protect against global health threats.
• It is a partnership of over 40 leading global organizations across the private, public, and social sectors.
• TC partners are united by the common aim of using data and advanced analytics to create inclusive innovations and build a world that’s better prepared for health emergencies.
• To that purpose, TTC is launching, supporting, and funding public challenges.
• It was launched in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which highlighted a global need to be better prepared to tackle healthcare emergencies.
• The initial Challenge asked teams to deliver data-driven solutions to predict, respond to and recover from pandemics.

○It awarded £5.7 million to teams that developed innovative tools and approaches for better pandemic preparedness and response.

• Following the success of the first Trinity Challenge, the second Challenge - The Trinity Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), issues a call to the world’s best and brightest minds for data-driven solutions that will protect the power of antibiotics.

IIIT-Delhi's project 'AMRSense: Empowering Communities with a Proactive One Health Ecosystem:

• It was led by IIIT-Delhi, in collaboration with CHRI-PATH, 1mg.com, and ICMR.
• AMRSense addresses the challenges of engaging, motivating, and training community health workers (CHWs) in AMR surveillance and management, compounded by the lack of a comprehensive data ecosystem and analytics capabilities.
