Occupational lung disease screening

AI-supported chest X-ray screening enables early detection of silicosis
and other lung diseases, supporting timely referral and safer
workplaces in mining and industrial settings.

Protecting workforces through structured lung health screening

Exposure to silica, dust, and other hazards increases the risk of long-term lung disease, including silicosis. Early detection supports worker health and strengthens compliance, accountability, and workforce sustainability.

The system challenge

Occupational screening programs often involve:

  • Large high-risk populations 
  • Compliance and documentation requirements 
  • The need for consistent interpretation 
  • High-volume workflows in industrial environments 
  • Follow-up and long-term reporting obligations 

Programs need screening that is consistent, reliable, and measurable.

Our solution

Effective occupational lung health programs need standardized, scalable screening that can stand up to clinical and audit requirements.

We support governments, industry partners, and occupational health programs in building reliable lung health screening systems aligned with regulatory and public health frameworks.

Programs need screening that is consistent, reliable, and measurable

Occupational screening programs must assess large high-risk populations while meeting strict compliance and reporting requirements. They require consistent interpretation, efficient high-volume workflows, and structured follow-up to ensure reliable and measurable outcomes.
