+80%TB notifications
Because of AI, TB case notifications rose 80% in a tribal district of Chhattisgarh, India, including 20 confirmed cases in people with no symptoms.
A prospective multi-centre study of qXR v3 chest X-ray reading found an 80.21% increase in TB notifications versus the Aug 2022–Mar 2023 baseline; of 51 asymptomatic people the AI flagged, 20 were confirmed to have TB, and over 40% of all AI-flagged patients were confirmed.
