The two companies are rolling out two software products — a teleradiology product called Tomosight and a digital microscopy offering called Cytosight. The products help healthcare centres in rural areas, not equipped with pathologist, to scan and read blood sample reports and treat pathological ailments. These products help lab technicians to scan the samples using their microscopes. The new software tools developed by the two companies will help them read the situation and will send it to urban medical centres for further investigation, if need be. Intel India marketing director (emerging markets) Sanat Rao said it’s the first time Intel is tapping the diagnostics market in India, which is a largely untapped segment, using its embedded architecture. The two products developed by KTwo Technologies will receive technical support from Intel India and the latter will also extend its marketing muscle to push the products in rural areas.
Chairman and CEO of KTwo Technology Solutions, Anant Koppar, said the products would be taken to international markets. “Initially we will tie-up with health centres and then take the products to organisations like the WHO,” he said. The global diagnostics industry is worth $8billion of which pathological software services contribute about $2.5 billion.
