Acute Respiratory Infection Diagnostic Aid (ARIDA) Problem: Pneumonia accounts for 16% of all deaths of children under 5 years old, killing 920 136 children in 2015. Many children die because the symptoms of pneumonia are not recognized. Outcome: An automated device that helps healthcare workers at the community level diagnose pneumonia. Status: The first ARIDA device has been manufactured and field trials in Ethiopia are ongoing. UNICEF/Nepal/Hayalanesh/2016
ZIKA R&D: Diagnostics & Vaccines Problem: Lack of critical products for combating the Zika epidemic. There is currently no Zika vaccine available and >95% of Zika diagnosis are clinical with lead-time for lab diagnosis 4-8 weeks, if/when lab available. Outcome: Development of a Zika vaccine and sensitive and specific Zika (POC) diagnostic. Status: Creation of TPPs jointly with partners (WHO & PAHO) to communicate the desired performance of Zika products Industry Consultation held 11-12 th May, 2016 Initial forecast developed based on WHO classification of ZIKV transmission, environmental suitability for vector-borne transmission, potential target cohorts and various uptake scenarios. Secured USAID funding (USD 10 million), enabling UNICEF to employ an APC covering 2017-2019 to reduce demand uncertainty for developers who have invested in R&D of ZIKV POC diagnostics. Availability of POC diagnostics and controlled accuracy trials to be conducted Continuous monitoring of the vaccine and diagnostic R&D landscape and consultations with industry.
Oxygen System Technologies Problem: Inherent complexities in oxygen system planning, supply, installation and maintenance of oxygen systems at all levels of the healthcare system. Outcome: Exploring publishing of joint UNICEF-WHO technical specifications and guidance UNICEF Supply Catalogue updated with more appropriate oxygen system products Convening with stakeholders on oxygen system strategies for an aligned and holistic approach to oxygen system guidance, planning, procurement and development of appropriate technologies. Status: Consultation and alignment with key stakeholders.
Product Innovation Challenges Need Development Scale Prioritization of R&D needs Working through the tradeoffs to create a TPP that matches needs Partnering with normative agents, technical and procurement partners Designing pull mechanisms that appropriately balances risks Sufficient funding raised for meaningful pull Ensuring product use Measuring impact in programme countries and in markets Problem of the counterfactuals
