AI Radiology in Screening for Tuberculosis

Revolutionizing TB Screening at Scale

Transform high-volume chest X-ray screening with the first AI model extensively trained and validated in the UAE. AIRIS-TB delivers unmatched accuracy for tuberculosis detection in regional healthcare settings.

AIRIS TB

The Challenge We Solved

Capital Health Screening Centre processes over 2,000 chest X-rays daily for visa-related medical screening. This massive manual workload created:

  • High risk of missed TB cases due to reviewer fatigue  
  • Unnecessary confirmatory testing increasing costs  
  • Operational delays straining clinical resources
  • Inconsistent screening quality across high-volume workflows

The Solution: AI-powered intelligent triage that focuses human expertise where it matters most.
