Over the years, several papers have been published researching the various Delft solutions and its utilization in Bangladesh.
2017
A study stated that while the radiologist’s specificity was superior, CAD4TB could save Xpert tests
2020
A study used CAD4TB amongst tuberculosis patients in a study on the prevalence of diabetes mellitus.
2021
A study using CAD4TB found that the artificial intelligence algorithm could reduce the number of Xpert tests required by 50% while maintaining a sensitivity above 90%.
2022
Another study proved that CAD4TB surpassed the human radiologists’ performance with improved triage ability compared to the older version.
2024
Stop TB Partnership released a report on implementing our solutions in Bangladesh as part of the iNTP project aimed at improving TB detection. Delft Light and CAD4TB have been integrated into national TB control programs, facilitating better TB detection in remote areas by providing accessible and accurate X-ray interpretations. The initiative has led to screening over 32,689 individuals, diagnosing 1452 people with TB, and improving treatment access and outcomes in the country.
In the same year, the Stop TB Partnership’s Board Report elaborated on the impact of our solutions, particularly on how optimizing CAD4TB’s connectivity strengthens healthcare infrastructure. “Connectivity – Diagnostics connectivity solutions were introduced and strengthened using a variety Ethiopia’s network of GeneXperts is now connected to the LabXpert software. Stop TB supported the adoption of LabXpert under the USAID-funded introducing New Tools Project (iNTP). Use of 99DOTS in Bangladesh (source: icddr,b) of technologies in five countries, including MedX LabXpert, SystemOne Aspect and a domestically developed solution Tibulims. Dashboards connected data from GeneXpert, Truenat and CAD4TB systems, allowing for real-time nationwide monitoring of instrument performance and rapid transfer of results, and facilitating earlier treatment of people with TB and DR-TB.
