Maternal mortality is a critical public health issue, particularly in low-resource settings like sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for over three-fourths of global maternal deaths [1]. Despite progress in reducing adverse maternal outcomes in countries like Ethiopia, high maternal mortality ratios persist, largely due to gaps and stockouts of essential supplies for managing obstetric emergencies [2,3]. Inadequate supplies for basic emergency obstetric care (BEm OC) can lead to delayed or suboptimal care.

Natural Language Processing Technologies for Public Health in Africa: Scoping Review
In practice, NLP-driven tools have already shown promise in Africa. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Whats App chatbots in South Africa, Rwanda, and Senegal were used to disseminate reliable information and facilitate rapid COVID-19 testing, while a Telegram-based chatbot in Ghana was developed to combat misinformation and provide accurate data to the public [18].

Over the past decade, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has seen a substantial rise in the number of people with access to digital technologies. Digital transformation has made a stark difference for previously disenfranchised communities, especially in the field of financial services [1].
One technology that stands out is mobile money, which allows the creation of bank accounts and enables financial transactions using unstructured supplementary service data codes without requiring an internet connection [1].

For example, over 80% of all adolescents living with HIV are in Sub-Saharan Africa [4], which also has the highest prevalence of adolescent pregnancy globally [5]. Melesse et al [6] conducted a review of demographic and health survey data from 33 African countries and reported that despite improvements in SRH among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa, young people in this part of the world continue to have disproportionately high rates of unwanted pregnancies and STIs (including HIV/AIDS).

The dual benefit of interrupting prolonged sitting and encouraging transitioning between sitting and standing during class to mitigate the long-term risks to cardiometabolic and spinal health holds significant public health potential in resource-limited contexts, such as South Africa.

Other methods include phone surveys that have been increasingly popular, given the high rates of mobile phone ownership globally despite a relatively lower penetration rate in Sub-Saharan Africa (50%) [3]. Phone surveys with live interviewers can be effective but come with several challenges including the cost of hiring and training interviewers. They are also time-consuming for large samples and are prone to social desirability bias and to interviewer variability and bias [4,5].

For example, the incidence of prostate cancer is escalating in West Africa, and treatment is usually delayed for so long that the health outcomes for men with the condition are dismal. Further, men with prostate cancer symptoms either remain ignorant of the disease or are too poor to seek treatment [14].

Health care access barriers are especially stark in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, which have 0.23 doctors for every 10,000 people, compared to the highest ratio of 84.2 doctors in the most high-income countries [5]. Increasing access to quality health care and preventive services via telehealth is a promising strategy to reduce health disparities in low- and middle-income countries.

Several observational studies have evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of VDOT, including 2 conducted in Africa [20-26]. Three randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in the United States, United Kingdom, and Moldova have assessed the efficacy of VDOT, demonstrating that it is feasible, acceptable, cost-saving, and convenient for patients [16,27-29]. A pilot study in Kenya found video-observed therapy to be both technically feasible and acceptable to patients and health care professionals [24].

Use of ChatGPT to Explore Gender and Geographic Disparities in Scientific Peer Review
Affiliation countries were categorized into 3 regions (North America, Europe, or Pacific; Asia; and Latin America, Middle East, or Africa), following prior research [21]. Comparisons were conducted using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests (for gender) and Kruskal-Wallis rank tests (for affiliation). Negative binomial regressions were performed, adjusting for journal, affiliation, and intracluster correlation within papers [22,23].
