Through the initiative, VisualDx will develop country-specific decision support tools for Nigeria and India to educate providers about presentation and management of tropical diseases. This is the second Gates Foundation grant awarded to the company, according to a Jan. 17 VisualDx news release.
The grant comes after VisualDx partnered with HHS and the Vermont Department of Health on separate projects.
“The public health needs of many rural and underserved areas often go unmet from provider and doctor shortages, and limited access to diagnostics, assistive technology, education, and training,” Wendemagegn Enbiale, MD, PhD, global health information officer at VisualDx, said. “Advances in modern medicine and technology have made it possible to deliver equitable, high-quality information for all patients, regardless of where they live or seek medical attention. With this partnership, we are developing decision support tools to assist primary healthcare providers working in low-resource settings.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
