Description
Summary:Background: The rapidly increasing cases of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are required to be managed to maintain the sustainable development of society. HaemurEx, developed by Arogyam Medisoft Solution, is a battery-operated, lightweight, photometric clinical chemistry analyzer with the ability to transmit data to a remote health platform. It can evaluate different blood and urine biomarkers related to various NCDs and women’s health at the community level. This novel device can advance universal access to healthcare by enhancing the availability, accessibility, and affordability of testing the blood and urine biomarkers in primary health setup and thus can improve screening and monitoring of NCD conditions. The present study compares the results obtained from HaemurEx with the standard methodologies for patient care to determine its efficacy and accuracy. Materials and methods: The amount of glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and creatinine were estimated in 40 blood samples collected from the inpatient and outpatient facilities at JSS Medical College, Mysuru, Karnataka, India using the standard methodologies. The same samples were analyzed on the same day using HaemurEx. The results obtained from both methods were compared to validate the performance characteristics of HaemurEx for its operation. Results: The comparison between the results revealed the accuracy of HaemurEx for the above-mentioned parameters to be in the range of 85–97%. Conclusion: HaemurEx as a screening tool has the potential to significantly impact the diagnosis and treatment of different NCDs and diseases related to women in low-resource areas.
