Multiphase evaluation of portable medicines quality screening devices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Substandard and falsified (SF) medicines have important but neglected consequences including increased morbidity and mortality, economic losses, and diminished public confidence in health systems. SF antimicrobials, particularly those containing reduced quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), may also be key but overlooked drivers of antimicrobial resistance Substandard medicines result from negligence and errors made during the manufacturing process by authorized manufacturers or degradation in supply chains. Falsified medicines are the result of criminal activity. Falsified medicines purport to be real, authorized medicines but are deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled with respect to their identity and/ or source Falsified medicines usually have packaging that are copies of a genuine product and may contain the APIs, although often at the incorrect amount, or, more commonly, they contain other API(s) or none at all. The term "falsified medicines," adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2017, references the public health issues of poor quality medicines rather than the term "counterfeit" that refers to trademark infringement. As countermeasures vary according to the type of "defect," understanding the differences between the types of poor quality medicines is essential from a public health and regulatory perspective.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
