Problem
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, leading to increased mortality, treatment failures, and higher healthcare costs.

The software analyzes patient data to suggest the most appropriate antibiotic, dosage, and treatment duration, minimizing the risk of inappropriate usage. By providing valuable insights into antibiotic usage, AMIRA also helps hospital management save economic resources and improve overall stewardship.
