The Snakebite Assistant

The Snakebite Assistant is a dedicated Chrome extension designed to mitigate the devastating effects of snakebite envenoming, a neglected tropical disease that causes significant suffering worldwide. It combines expert guidance on diagnosis, treatment, and educational resources to support victims, first responders, medical professionals, and paramedics.

Users receive step-by-step assistance tailored to different healthcare levels — from on-site emergency response to district hospital management — incorporating WHO-recommended emergency protocols and species-specific antivenom information. The extension features an interactive database of venomous snakes by region, morphological tools for species identification, and a rich training library suitable for paramedics, medical students, and community members. Engaging learning games help users understand snake recognition, envenoming symptoms, and proper post-bite actions, enhancing preparedness and response in snakebite-prone areas.
