Competing Interests
I have read the journal’s policy and the authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: After completion of the study, intellectual property and technology related to the platform were transferred from Johnson & Johnson to Enaiblers, which is developing the platform commercially. PW and PD are employees and shareholders of Enaiblers, and LB and LJS are scientific advisors to Enaiblers. LJS was Scientific Leader of the AI4NTD steering committee and a stockholder of Johnson & Johnson during the study. Johnson & Johnson, the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, provided funding for this work. Johnson & Johnson donates mebendazole for the treatment of soil-transmitted helminths, and Merck KGaA produces praziquantel, the standard treatment for schistosomiasis. All other authors have declared that they have no competing interests.
