We aimed to evaluate recent advances, technological opportunities, and the potential of these tools to improve diagnostic equity in regions most affected by parasitic diseases.Recent findings: Over the past several years, AI-driven diagnostic systems have demonstrated high accuracy in detecting malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and soil-transmitted helminths, often outperforming manual microscopy-particularly for low-intensity or mixed infections. Robotic and automated microscopy platforms have reduced observer variability and increased throughput, while mobile health and edge-computing approaches have expanded feasibility in low-resource settings.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHealth EquityGlobal HealthTropical MedicineDiagnosticsArtificial IntelligenceArticle10.1007/s40588-026-00265-42-s2.0-105028369392
