Tuberculosis is a curable disease.
Yet, it kills over 1.2 million people globally every year, more than any other infectious disease.
In 2018, an estimated 10 million people contracted TB. Over 1.5 million lost their lives.
In Indonesia alone, there were over 500,000 new TB cases. 10% of them were children.

AI-based TB Population Screening Solution
Using Chest X-Rays
The DxTB system is deployed on an edge device at mobile diagnostic vans, healthcare centres or hospitals.
A chest X-ray is taken for the screening case. DxTB gives instant prediction whether the person has TB.
Population Screening
with DxTB
Only cases predicted as TB-positive are sent for further confirmatory tests.
Population Screening with DxTB
At a live screening site in India, DxTB was used to screen over 70,000 cases.
DxTB correctly identified over 90% of TB cases by sending only 15% of all cases for confirmatory tests. 85% cases were declared TB-free instantly.
