Reflections from ADTCA 2025: Global Ideas, Shared
Purpose
In June, TGAR Foundation took part in ADTCA 2025 – Advancing Data Technologies to
Corner AMR, held on the 19th and 20th. This international symposium brought together
researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and innovators to explore how data and technology can be
harnessed to tackle one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time: antimicrobial
resistance.
We were proud to be among the key speakers at the event. Our presentation, “The Usefulness of
a Data-Driven AMR Patient Platform,” focused on how combining health data with artificial
intelligence can help make sense of complex, real-world patterns, particularly from underutilised
sources like social media. Our goal remains clear: to place patients at the centre of AMR
solutions while ensuring that data leads to better outcomes and stronger systems.
Ongoing Work at TGAR: Research, Storytelling, and
Education
New Blogs and Patient Stories
Our team continues to publish blogs, articles, and first-person stories that bring AMR research
closer to lived experience. These are available on our website, as well as on our LinkedIn and
Twitter/X pages. These publications are part of our commitment to making science accessible
and people-centred.
Educational Outreach
We recently released a short educational video for children to introduce the concept of antibiotic
resistance simply and engagingly. The video is already being promoted in African schools,
translated into local languages, and has received encouraging feedback from educators. We are
now exploring ways to adapt and share similar educational content in India and other regions.
Expanding Collaborations
We are currently in touch with faculty at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore,
India, to explore potential workshops and outreach programs. India remains a key focus for us,
not only because of the high burden of AMR, but also because of the vibrant academic and
healthcare communities that are actively seeking solutions.
Elsewhere, we are continuing conversations with a major university in Brazil and a research
institute in the Netherlands to expand our Patient Platform and Patient Stories initiatives. Our
next phase of work, focused on Africa, aims to develop a deeper understanding of AMR from the
ground up, through community data and inclusive technology.
An Open Invitation
We are always looking to build new partnerships: whether with researchers, educators, public health
professionals, or community leaders. If you’re interested in joining us in our efforts, we’d love to hear
from you.

Let’s continue working together to make antibiotic resistance a challenge we can meet: with data, insight,
and empathy.
Warm regards,
