DeepTek Unveils Affordable AI-Powered TB Screening for 138 Countries with Unitaid and CHAI Partnership
  • DeepTek launches Global Access Pricing with an agreement from Unitaid and CHAI to make its WHO-recommended Chest X-ray AI for TB screening more affordable for public sector and not-for-profit providers in 138 LMICs.

  • The program aims to accelerate early TB detection, expand equitable access to high-quality diagnostics, and strengthen national TB programmes by reducing financial barriers.

  • The initiative showcases a collaboration among DeepTek, Unitaid, and CHAI to remove financial barriers to adopting AI in LMICs and broaden access to high-quality TB screening.

  • The annual subscription covers unlimited AI analyses per connected X-ray unit, plus installation, training, updates, maintenance and support, with online, offline, and hybrid deployment suitable for settings including mobile units and low-connectivity areas.

  • The subscription model enables online, offline, and hybrid deployment across various facilities, including low-connectivity environments.

  • Interested healthcare providers and programs can reach out to learn more about Global Access Pricing.

  • Executive quotes from Ajit Patil, Dr. Amit Kharat, Dr. Philippe Duneton, and Marie Chantale Lepine emphasize affordability, scale, and expanded access to timely diagnosis.

  • Pricing reductions aim to bring annual costs to roughly one-third of previous levels, enabling programs to screen about three times more people within existing budgets.

  • Beyond TB, the AI detects 20+ chest abnormalities, enabling broader lung health screening and potentially indicating conditions like cardiomegaly, silicosis, and lung cancer under a transparent pricing model.
