Faster Diagnosis: AI qualitative analysis for training
Fast, reproducible qualitative analysis matters when you are judging whether a training and mentorship model shortened diagnostic delays. A June 29, 2026 PLOS Medicine report on a multilevel onsite training and 6‑month mentorship program in Northwest Ethiopia found large provider gains and a 54% drop in diagnostic interval, and the original study appears in PLOS Medicine. This post shows researchers and implementation teams how to reproduce and extend those findings using AI qualitative analysis: what to extract from interviews, how to cross-segment by facility level, and how Evidano speeds transcription, thematic coding, and stakeholder-ready visualizations while keeping data private (see Evidano).
