Project Management/Coordination
The project will establish a system for AI enabled X-ray with the support of NTEP and NHM officials at state and district levels in Odisha. This intervention will be carried out in active case finding mode by decentralized deployment of ultra-portable digital X-ray machines with AI for screening of TB.
The field-coordinators recruited under the project, in addition to existing team of Tribal TB Initiative (PSMRI), will first map and then get involved with a network of Informal Health Providers (IHP) in selected geography to ensure early testing by prompt referral of presumptive TB cases to the nearest testing facility, cutting down the delay in diagnosis and missing TB cases.
Once diagnosis is confirmed, the NTEP can initiate treatment promptly. However, if the person with presumptive TB comes negative on sputum examination, but continue to have symptoms suggestive of TB, will be referred by IHP to undergo screening with X-ray AI on a designated day at the assembly point or nearest Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM).
