Summary

In low-and middle-income countries, the cold chain that supports vaccine storage and distribution is vulnerable due to insufficient infrastructure and interoperable data. To bolster these networks, we developed a convolutional neural network-based fault detection method for vaccine refrigerators using datasets synthetically generated by thermodynamic modeling. We demonstrate that these thermodynamic models can be calibrated to real cooling systems in order to identify system-specific faults under a diverse range of operating conditions. If implemented on a large scale, this portable, flexible approach has the potential to increase the fidelity and lower the cost of vaccine distribution in remote communities.
