Calling all #AI companies working on computer-aided detection of #TB via chest X-rays. We want to hear from you! 📣 Take our survey by 3 Sept & contribute to our resource centre providing up-to-date info on AI screening tools for tuberculosis: https://t.co/XFOtkTaHwW
@StopTB

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

Are you working on an artificially intelligent (#AI) based product that can interpret CXRs for #TB? We'd like to learn more about your product. Please participate in our survey, before 3rd Sept! @FINDdx @StopTB @StopTB_NDWG

[FIND @FINDdx]

We are looking for #AI companies working on chest X-ray interpretation products for #TB to participate in a survey aimed at improving our resource centre on computer-aided detection (#CAD) products for #tuberculosis. More: https://t.co/FBX57xntHh

Several early adopters shared with @FINDdx their field experiences with portable Xray and CAD for TB screening in #Malawi (@petermacp, @rachaelburke), #Uganda (@AldoBurua, @MosesEyaru, @TuryahabweStav2) and #Zambia (@ZambartResearch). Thank you🙏

Yesterday on #WTBD2021, @FINDdx we published our report on digital Xray and CAD solutions for TB. Highlighting the many portable Xrays that may allow for CXR screening in communities, houses, screening campaigns of at risk populations.#TheClockIsTicking

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

The @WHO's TB screening guideline comes with a useful operational handbook, outlining possible diagnostic algorithms and models for screening.

#EndTB, #WTBD2021

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

On #WTBD2021 @WHO released new guidelines on TB screening.

Based on evidence shared by @FINDdx for #CAD4TB, @Lunit_AI and @qure_ai, CAD software may now be used in place of human readers for interpreting digital CXRs for screening for TB.

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, we must not forget to test individuals for other life threating diseases such as TB.

Proud that we @FINDdx contributed to the evidence on performance of CAD software, which resulted in the below recommendation!

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

To inform the update of WHO’s screening guideline we evaluated CAD solutions when used as a screening or triaging test. Join the session at 12:30 CEST to hear more.

Many countries are conducting their own validation studies on COVID-19 tests they are planning to use more widely. Please share your results to help others that lack resources and capacity to do these evaluations and help build evidence!

GOT DATA? 🔢
Today we opened a call for performance data on commercially available #diagnostics for #SARS_COV_2. We will centralize & share on our website to help to inform procurement/implementation decisions.
📢Please share!

@paimadhu @JACRJournal T3: Agree, we will need to get AI algorithms properly evaluated and approved in order to increase access to CXRs at primary care level. We @FINDdx are working on the evaluation of #computeraided detection (CAD) solutions for #TB diagnosis & triage using #CXR. #DiagnosisMatters

[Dr. Sandra Kik @kik_sandra]

@SoniaGuptaMD Agree: Today, digitally enabled chest X-rays are fast, portable, battery operated & safe. Coupled with #AI they hold tremendous promise to aid #TB detection & serve as reliable tests for triage. @FINDdx #DiagnosisMatters #EndTB #JACR
