A Canadian health technology company that helps doctors make informed decisions about treatment of infectious diseases has partnered with the World Health Organization to provide new guidance for prescribing antibiotics — an initiative aimed at addressing the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance.
Firstline, a company based in Vancouver, B.C., will provide the WHO’s “AWaRe antibiotic book” through a web and mobile app that will be openly accessible around the world, free of charge.AWaRe is an acronym for ‘access, watch and reserve’ and is a classification system developed by WHO that delineates antibiotics into three different classes based on the impact they have on antimicrobial resistance.
Jason Buck, chief strategy officer and co-founder of Firstline, says the partnership with WHO was a natural one for his company, which is experienced at taking large amounts of evidence and information on infectious diseases and distilling it down into guidance suitable for use by doctors at the point of care.
