Human Resources Manager

This posting concerns a full-time employment in a contract basis working for Welthungerhilfe’s Child Growth Monitor project.

Background

Ca. 200 million children are suffering from malnutrition, with malnutrition contributing to one-third of deaths of children under the age of five. In the fight against malnutrition, detection is the first important step, but this is not an easy task: Measuring children with traditional methods is still a complex, slow, and expensive task, frequently resulting in poor data and wrong assessments of the child’s health. Early detection of malnutrition becomes the key for initiating treatment, minimizing the risk of complications, and saving lives by reducing the chances of death to a great extent.

Our mission

Every child should be measured for healthy growth and screened for signs of malnutrition to ensure their right to health and the UN’s goal of Zero Hunger worldwide. Our mission is to provide quick and accurate data on children’s nutritional status in the most ethical way. Our solution to measure children replaces hardware (measuring boards and physical scales) with off the shelf cellphones and AI.

Our solution

The Child Growth Monitor uses augmented reality enabled smartphones to record 3D scans of children. Artificial Intelligence is used to predict their height, weight and middle upper-arm circumference.
