Breast Screening At Home, Niramai Offers Home Screening Service in Bengaluru
Niramai brings its thermal breast imaging tool to the door-step of women
Bengaluru: Niramai Health Analytix, a deep-tech startup with expertise in thermal imaging and AI, recently announced their home screening service in Bengaluru. The company brings its Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution Thermalytix to the door-step of women. In light of the recent lockdown and inaccessibility of hospital OPDs and diagnostic labs, this will increase the accessibility of the diagnostic tool.
Dr Geetha Manjunath, Founder & CEO, said, “In recent weeks, there has been a sea-change in the way consumers access various health care services. There is a growing acceptance of digital and home-based services. Keeping in mind, the importance of routine breast health screening for early detection of abnormalities, Niramai launches its home screening service in Bengaluru to start with. We also look forward to working with partners and offering this in other cities. The process is privacy-aware and since it is entirely non-invasive, it works well with the requirement for physical social distancing in these times.”
The service can be accessed through Niramai website. A female technician of Niramai will offer this service with prior appointment and will follow all required safety protocols. The test will be conducted in complete privacy without any physical contact and the reports will be certified by a radiologist and emailed within 24 hours of the screening the company said.
Niramai’s solution enables a radiation-free, non-invasive, non-touch, breast cancer screening solution for hospitals and diagnostic centers. The solution is accurate, affordable, privacy-aware, and can be used for women of all ages, including women under 45 years. As the solution is portable, it is also amenable to screening camps in rural areas and corporate health camps. Their core technology uses a high-resolution thermal sensing device and cloud-hosted AI-based solution for analyzing thermal images.
