Kanpur, Vixen Secrodia. It takes a long time for the RTPCR report to be examined to check for corona infection.
Meanwhile, the condition of the patient worsens and many times life is in danger. At the same time, people do not get CT scans done quickly. In such a case, X-ray bridge will help them.
Within a half-hour of sending a chest X-ray to the WhatsApp number 8046163838 that has been introduced in the WhatsApp based chatbot system, you will know whether there is a corona infection.
Along with this, you will get complete information about 14 diseases including how much infection there is in the lungs, how sensitive they are and what is their condition.
IIT alumnus developed technology
Umtek Soni, an alumnus of MTech from IIT's Environmental Engineering and Management, has developed an 'X-ray bridge' in association with the Indian Institute of Science, AI Robotics Technology Park and Niramaya Health.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used in this. Three hundred doctors are associated with 'X-ray bridge'.It took a year to develop.
Initially, the biggest challenge was that Covid positive X-rays were not available for research.
To overcome this problem, developed a unique transfer learning framework using AI.
From this, the status of lung infection can be detected with a normal x-ray of the chest.
This system gives immediate output by looking at the x-ray. Creates a report focusing on the infected parts.
This report gives a score on the basis of infection in different parts of lungs and chest within a few minutes.
300 doctors got help
Apart from Covid-19 from the WhatsApp-based chat box, it can also detect 14 additional lung-related diseases including tuberculosis and pneumonia.
X-ray bridges can be used for both analog and digital X-rays. It is also able to tell the disease by looking at low-resolution images sent from mobile.
X-ray bridge has helped more than 300 doctors in rural areas in the last 10 months.
This is how it works
Any doctor will have to go on the website (www.xraysetu.com) for a health check-up. Click on 'Try the Free Xraysetu Beta'.
The platform will then take the person to another page where they can choose to connect with a WhatsApp-based chatbot via a web or smartphone application.
