Infrastructure that translates into healthcare access.

What the deployment produced in the field, with the method and the limits printed next to the numbers rather than in a footnote.

What has happened at the counter.

What each of those numbers is a count of.

  1. Measurement

    A physiological measurement is taken with a device the pharmacy already has.

  2. Risk identification

    The measurement identifies whether the person may be at risk. It concludes nothing about their health.

  3. Health alert

    When a threshold is crossed, an alert is raised for the pharmacy staff, in plain language.

  4. Referral

    The person is directed to a health professional, with what was measured and when.

  5. Confirmatory testing

    The professional decides. Confirmation, diagnosis and care stay entirely with them.

A screening is a measurement. An alert is a threshold crossed. A suspected case is a person referred for confirmatory testing. None of the three is a diagnosis, and we count no diagnoses.

The anaemia case, stated precisely.

Camera-based conjunctival screening can help identify individuals who may benefit from confirmatory anaemia testing, with particular relevance in settings where laboratory access is limited.

Why it matters where it happens: a person who would not travel to a laboratory will still visit a pharmacy. ~550 people were identified as possibly benefiting from confirmatory testing, and ~55% of the people reached were women — a population where anaemia is both common and routinely missed.

And the part that keeps it running.

Health impact that depends on a grant ends with the grant. This figure is here because it is the reason the deployment is still running.

Method, and what these figures are not.

  • Internal figures. Everything on this page is counted by AZ54 in its own systems and in the field. No third party has audited them.
  • No clinical validation. There is no formal clinical documentation behind the screening measurements, and we make no claim of clinical validity.
  • No outcome claim. We count screenings, alerts and referrals. We do not know, and do not claim, how many people were subsequently treated.
  • Counts are not deduplicated across modules. Financial services users and people screened are separate counts of separate activities, and must never be added together.

Access, as a consequence of infrastructure.

If your network could produce numbers like these, that is the conversation.
