Operation Smile is dedicated to creating access to and providing gold-standard care for our patients and their communities.
Cleft conditions are highly treatable, but the scarcity of specialized medical professionals creates significant barriers.
Operation Smile’s innovative use of AI, which is currently in its pilot phase, is bridging critical gaps in healthcare, particularly in cleft surgery. It allows our teams to use something as simple as a phone or camera to take pictures and receive assessments on the severity of cleft conditions and outcome predictions, even in areas with limited resources. By expanding access to surgical care where it’s most needed, we ensure that no one is left behind, advancing health equity for all.
This new mini documentary called “Beyond the Code”, produced for Operation Smile by Partnership for AI and BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, introduces you to Adolphe and his parents from Rwanda so you can learn their story.
The brand film looks at how Operation Smile, together with Microsoft, is piloting an AI program to assist in both patient diagnosis and educating surgeons in remote regions.
