She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024.

That is where BloodCounts! saw an opportunity to mine rich, unused data and use generative artificial intelligence models, advancing biomedical research to predict and diagnose pervasive health conditions.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8297\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-768x513.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-809x540.jpg 809w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-960x641.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya-1920x1282.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Dried-blood-cards-used-for-testing-HIV-at-the-labratory-at-the-Maragua-Sub-County-hospital-in-Maragua-Kenya.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The machine actually measures thousands of characteristics for every cell, but we’ve only been distilling it down to 18 numbers,” explains Dr. Joseph Taylor, a hematology consultant at Barts Health NHS Trust, a consortium partner. “BloodCounts! goes back to the raw measurements, revealing signatures that have always been there.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The Trinity Challenge: Catalyzing individual efforts into a global consortium\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In 2021, BloodCounts! won the prestigious Trinity Challenge Prize for its AI-driven approach to outbreak\u003Cbr>detection.

Anemia caused 50 million years of healthy life lost due to disability in 2019.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia worldwide, but not the only cause. Dr. Joseph Taylor explains. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\u003Cp>“Many people make a false equivalence—they think anemia equals iron and iron equals anemia. But that is not true. That’s a misunderstanding. Anemia is not a diagnosis. Anemia is more like a symptom.

By analyzing the full spectrum of CBC data, its models can distinguish between iron deficiency, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and other causes—at the first point of care. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“If we can tell a clinician, ‘This looks like iron deficiency’ or ‘This does not,’ that’s transformative,” says Taylor. “It means the first treatment is more likely to be right, which matters enormously when healthcare access is limited.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The hematology analyzer and the need for robust data\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Central to BloodCounts! is the hematology analyzer, in this case, Sysmex.

So, for every patient that we measure, we get a file. It’s what we call raw CBC data. And that file and data can be used to train the foundational models being developed,” he explains and adds, “You need a lot of data.

Instead of sending sensitive data to one central location, BloodCounts! uses federated learning – a breakthrough approach that lets hospitals collaborate without sharing patient data. Each hospital trains the AI model on its own rich CBC data and securely communicates only the encrypted model back. These updates are combined to make the global model smarter and then shared back with all participants. This means the system learns from millions of blood tests globally while keeping personal data safe. \u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“No one’s done it before, using a federated learning infrastructure in real-world hospitals at scale across three continents. We train our models in an ethically compliant manner using real patient data, whilst hospitals always retain control of their sensitive data,” said Professor Roberts.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>A hopeful future\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>From its roots during a global crisis, BloodCounts! is now shaping a future in which a routine blood test could transform healthcare worldwide. By unlocking previously unused signatures in the CBC and combining them with cutting-edge AI, the consortium is building the ability to diagnose health conditions earlier, faster, and more equitably. Excited about what the future holds, Professor Michael Roberts concludes, “What excites me most is the translational side—that we’re going to get real digital diagnostics into these CBC machines, changing practice globally. All of these tools we’re developing have a route to market, a route to getting into clinics and making a difference to people around the world.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Indrani Kashyap is the Associate Director for Regional Communications at Jhpiego.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Joanne Peter is the Director of the Innovation Hub at Jhpiego.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>BloodCounts! is an international consortium that began during the COVID-19 pandemic to help detect outbreaks early.
