Every day 16,000 children under the age of 5-years die. Although strides have been made in early diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia, it still accounts for about 15% of deaths of children under 5-years (1). Unfortunately care providers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited due to lack of resources and training. Chest x-rays are especially difficult to obtain in these LMICs (14). Ironically, smartphones are readily available. Since its development in 1960, Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) cameras have made several technological strides. Notably they are now more affordable and compact, attaching to smartphones. FLIR cameras now have the potential to aid in early diagnosis and subsequent treatment of childhood pneumonia.
