FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: A low-band width teleradiology platform

Teleradiology Solutions, an Indian company which reads images remotely, has produced a platform that works on low-speed bandwidth, making it accessible in areas with poor digital infrastructure, particularly in rural areas of Africa and India. This works on a pay-per-click model making it more affordable and suited to small institutions as well as larger providers. It claims a 99% accuracy rate, 2% higher than the American College of Radiology standard of 97%. With coverage 365 days of the year, 24 hours per day, it is able to turn around emergency image reads in 15 minutes. It currently works in over 20 countries including the United States, Singapore, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Maldives and India.
