Close to 25,000 chest X-rays were processed through qXR. Out of the general population screened in hotspots and containment zones, as well as among contacts of COVID-19 patients, about 20% were instantly reported by qXR as having COVID-19 indications and were immediately recommended for next steps in the patient management. These included asymptomatic cases which make up over 50% of the population. Further usage of qXR for screening and triaging COVID-19 suspects helped optimal utilization of limited RT-PCR kits. Based on preliminary analysis for which RT-PCR results were available from ICMR, an yield of 90.8% was observed using qXR. This proved qXR to be an effective triaging tool for COVID-19. qXR was also used by doctors to monitor disease progression.
Tracking Innovations for Greater Impact
Since our inception, we have de-risked the development of over 16 innovations and our portfolio companies have contributed immensely in efforts to control and eliminate infectious diseases such as malaria and TB. Through rigorous investment and strategic guidance, India Health Fund has facilitated the development and deployment of their innovations, moving them closer to real-world implementation. Many of these innovations are already helping healthcare providers with disease diagnosis and surveillance, especially in low-resource settings.
Our Technology Readiness Level (TRL) Tracker Tool serves as a testament to the progress achieved, providing a transparent and systematic approach to monitor the readiness of our innovations. As we continue our mission to leverage technological innovations to strengthen the health system, IHF remains committed to supporting innovators with ideas that can potentially transform healthcare outcomes for communities worldwide.
