Abstract
Annually, more than 13 million children die from sepsis caused by conditions such as
pneumonia and diarrhea due to a lack of resources and clinical expertise [1]. An objective test for which
children should be referred to a facility would help community healthcare workers to best utilize resources.
Mobile phones are now widely used even in low resource settings and provide an ideal platform for both
vital signs assessment and automatic diagnosis. The first step is to identify differences in objective measures
between children who need to be admitted and those who can return home.
