XraySetu detects COVID-19 via X-ray images, sends report over WhatsApp, follow THESE steps to use

New Delhi: Department of Science and Technology backed startup Artpark has developed an artificial intelligence-driven platform Xray Setu to identify Covid-19 positive patients by reviewing chest X-ray images sent over WhatsApp. 

“XraySetu is specifically designed to identify Covid positive patients even from low-resolution chest X-Ray images sent over Whatsapp," the DST said.

The technology is able to detect the infection even from low-resolution chest X-ray images. The technology is expected to be deployed in rural areas for the quick and easy detection of Covid-19 patients.  

The department said that the platform can be deployed in early intervention with the help of X-ray machines in far-flung regions. Artpark, which stands for AI & Robotics Technology Park, is a not-for-profit foundation established by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, with support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The startup has been founded in collaboration with Bengaluru-based heath-tech startup Niramai and the IISc.
