Fig. 5

a, Simplified decision tree for MPXV infection risk stratification derived from WHO case definitions with the addition of an AI-assisted case definition based on predictions of the MPXV-CNN. An IDE was used to create and update the survey for risk stratification (boxes) based on these questions (rhombuses), logical expressions (arrows) and the MPXV-CNN (rhombus with a brain and AI model). An API distributed the most up-to-date survey, logical expressions and MPXV-CNN to web-based apps. b, The web-based app ‘PoxApp’ implemented the PRS for end users allowing them to answer surveys and take photos of their skin lesions and get personalized recommendations, such as MPXV testing or vaccination. c, Component for voluntary data donation with an API to collect, anonymize and store data in a central database. d, New evolving models with higher sensitivity and specificity could potentially be created based on new user data. API, application programming interface.
