My understanding is that this particular pilot is primarily around TB screening to find potential patients who have latent, early or late stage TB - so everyone ( 15 - 20 million ) will be required to be screened in the state at some stage.
If this pilot is successful and they are given the green light / funding to continue then FDBK ( according to presentation) will receive approx $2 per patient ( leaving 80% of revenue to their partners ...$8).
I am just wondering how they are approaching this pilot as it needs to be proven as a workable concept first, so get the funding ...so maybe they will only treat patients who present to them initially, or will they begin literally working their way through everyone living in the state finding out their TB status, and registering them for a individual health record via CareLocker - which in theory could be the beginnings of the Indian Health card for every Indian national.
The fact that AWS are involved from the outset must suggest that CareLocker will be involved from the start so that each individuals health data records are stored for easy access at a later date and show evidence that they have been screened for TB.
If that's the case then the vast majority of the work will not be done at the hospital and mobile x-rays will need to be visiting all villages etc within a 400 mile radius,.
Therefore, a partner who can supply the vehicles, equipment etc and manpower to reach these hard to reach places will be needed.
Its interesting that FujiFilm that have played a part in prevention in past and getting the word out about TB are now moving into the latest technological advancements led by AI and IoT !
