    <narrative xml:lang="en">RISQ Digital: A Clinical Decision-Support Application for the Early Identification and Management of Severe Illness in Malnourished Children</narrative>
  </title>
  <description type="1">
    <narrative xml:lang="en">Despite the existence of WHO guidelines, child mortality among acutely malnourished children remains high due to challenges in early recognition of severe illness. The RISQ System—a validated clinical decision-support tool—has shown greater than 95% probability of  reduction in mortality in the CRIMSON trial in Chad, confirming its life-saving potential.&#13;
&#13;
Building on the success of the CRIMSON trial using a paper-based documentation record, the RISQ Digital Implementation Project will develop an automated version of the documentation system through a bilingual (English/French) mobile and web application that automates RISQ score calculation using age-specific parameters and integrates clinical guidance, training materials, and reference resources. &#13;
&#13;
The pilot testing is conducted through a participatory process, in Nigeria, Katsina State, Kaita Local Government Area (LGA), leveraging existing OPTIMA operational teams.&#13;
&#13;
By translating robust research into an accessible digital solution, RISQ Digital represents a vital step from research to impact - improving identification and prioritization of care of sick children, through clinical decision support, to improve survival outcomes for the most vulnerable children.</narrative>
