XraySetu Launched to Detect Covid in Rural Population via WhatsApp

A new AI-driven platform called ‘XraySetu’ has been developed to help in the early detection of COVID 19, with the help of Chest X-ray. The solution will be beneficial for early detection especially in rural areas, where RT-PCR tests and CT-Scans are not easily available. XraySetu will operate through WhatsApp. It will identify COVID positive patients even from low-resolution Chest X-Ray images sent over Whatsapp-based Chatbot.

The solution has been developed by ARTPARK (AI & Robotics Technology Park), a not-for-profit foundation established by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, with support from the Department of Science & Technology (DST), GOI, in collaboration with Bangalore based HealthTech startup Niramai and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

Working of XraySetu:

The doctor will need to visit www.xraysetu.com and click on the ‘Try the Free XraySetu Beta’ button.
They will then be redirected to another page, from where they can choose to engage with the WhatsApp-based chatbot either through the web or smartphone application.
Alternatively, the doctor can even send a WhatsApp message to the phone number +91 8046163838 to start the XraySetu service.
After this, they just need to click the picture of the patient’s X-ray and upload it on the chatbot, from where they will obtain the 2-page automated diagnostics with annotated images in a few minutes.
