WorldConnex supports the Urinary Cytology Congress

5/18/2022

2 Comments

 
After the pap test, the most popular cytological exam in the world is urinalysis. In fact, urinary cytology represents a significantly increasing diagnostic reality, second only to cervico-vaginal cytology.
The lack of standardized indications that regulate the reporting phase in the urinary field, however, increases the confusion around this type of examination.
The standard of reporting in this area is provided by TPS (The Paris System), a working group that has devised a standardized reporting system that includes specific diagnostic categories and cytomorphological criteria for a reliable diagnosis of high-grade urothelial carcinoma. However, this reporting system, which follows the guidelines of The Paris System, is not yet very widespread.

The Congress of Urinary Cytology organized by the Auxological Institute of Milan has the specific objective of providing appropriate updates on The Paris System, born with the intention of creating a common and detailed line in urinary cytological reporting.

WorldConnex as a company active in the field of new technologies in medicine and partner of important projects in this area, has enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity to support the Auxological Institute in this project: this collaboration aims to offer sector operators innovative technologies and skills and effective for a better diagnostic approach.

WaidX takes the field against COVID19 and cancer

WorldCancerDay2021 - WorldConnex

​Thanks to WaidX telemedicine platform, WorldConnex plays a role in the development of healthcare facilities around the world.
In 2020, the development of Digital Health received an unprecedented boost from the fight against COVID19. The pandemic emergency has posed new challenges that WorldConnex and our partners have promptly taken up by starting the development of innovative tools: the validation of a molecular diagnostics from salivary samples, an integrated platform for Telepathology which allows real time remote diagnosis by integrating software for pre-diagnostics analysis of histo-cytological images, end-to-end solutions for telemonitoring of patients with Artificial Intelligence tools for predictive diagnostics.
The preliminary results push us to intensify our commitment to develop solutions that represent a new technological and organizational paradigm in the timely diagnosis of relevant diseases, such as COVID19 and cancer.
We warmly thank the partners who share this path: Hospitex International, Botika, Prof. Stefano Martinotti - University of Chieti, Dr. Paolo Fazii - Microbiology dept. of Pescara Hospital, Prof. Antonio Procopio - Polytechnic University of Marche, APOF Pathologists Beyond Borders NGO.

"... but didn't you make computer systems?"
Yes, but #COVID19 has redefined priorities, partnerships and needs and we at WorldConnex are not backing down.
​Yesterday we spent the day in laboratory with our partner 
Hospitex International Srl, Prof. Stefano Martinotti by Università degli Studi 'Gabriele d'Annunzio'​ di Chieti in a joint venture with Dr. Paolo Fazii, director of Microbiology Dept. of Pescara Hospital, for the scientific validation of a new COVID19 diagnostic system.
A rapid and reliable molecular test, with a simpler and less invasive method of sample collection than the usual nasopharyngeal swab.

WaidX for Telepathology at the Omar Hassan Al Bachir Military Hospital in Djibouti

11/16/2020

1 Comment

 
On November 16, 2019, 1 year ago, the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the Omar Hassan Al Bachir military hospital in Djibouti was inaugurated, at the presence of the State highest officials and the Gibutian Armed Forces.
The laboratory, built in just 18 months, is the result of an intense period of joint design and implementation that sees the hospital's Health Department among its protagonists in the figures of the Director General Col. Madian and Dr. Miriam Martinelli for the project management, APOF NGO for consulting on health process design and training of local staff, WorldConnex for the WaidX Telepathology platform and Digital Health components.
The result is exciting: the new Diagnostics Department employs laboratory technicians from the hospital and makes use of the remote consultation of Italian pathologists who are connected in real time thanks to WaidX, achieving a reduction in the cost per exam of 90% and a cut in the average time for obtaining the diagnosis from 3 months to few days compared to the previous method of carrying out pathological diagnoses.
In the video presentation, the new Health Department of the Hospital wanted to emphasize the importance of the project which represents a vanguard in the telemedicine sector for developing countries.

WorldConnex @ WorldCancerDay 2020

It is a kind of tradition for WorldConnex presenting the updates of our WaidX telemedicine projects at WorldCancerDay, the annual event promoted by UICC.

As usual, last February 4th WorldConnex attended this important event. 
One of our aims thanks to WaidX has always been to bridge the technological gap in Telemedicine between countries with different levels of development. So, we played on this aspect to customize the reference theme for WCD 2020 in "I am WaidX and I Will close the Gap in Telemedicine".

WaidX Telepathology Project for the remote connection of different Pathology departments in the Horn of Africa.

WorldCancerDay2020: I am WaidX and I Will Close the Gap in Telemedicine
The commitment of WorldConnex in favour of APOF NGO for the development of the "Horn of Africa" Project never stops, towards the ambitious goal of creating a network of Pathology laboratories among different countries of the Horn of Africa.
Thanks to the main funding of Chiesa Valdese and to the valuable contribution of Rotary Club Djibouti Doyen, as well as the co-financing of WorldConnex focused on WaidX platform, the Digital Pathology facility of Balbala Hospital in Djibouti was implemented in its definitive equipment and the telediagnostic service became fully operational.
In the meantime, APOF specialists completed the commissioning of the Pathology Department at Hargeisa Group Hospital, in Somaliland. During november 2019 three young lab technicians from HGH have been trained with a specialization course in the Pathology Department of Balbala Hospital, as part of the partnership running between the two hospitals.
Next March, WorldConnex specialists will install WaidX platform and the Digital Pathology facility at HGH Pathology Department, creating a diagnostic network between the two hospitals and the APOF specialist operating from Italy, based on dynamic Telepathology.
New requests are coming from other hospitals in developing countries to join this multicentric model.
WaidX network is growing up!

WaidX Telepathology Project for the Hôpital Militaire de Djibouti.

The Hôpital Militaire de Djibouti is a health facility which provides high quality public healthcare for the entire population of the country.
After the successful realization of the Digital Pathology project at the nearby Hopital de Balbala, the Hopital Militaire management headed by colonel Madian Mohamamed Said asked APOF NGO and WorldConnex for support to realize a new Pathology Department, integrating existing laboratory resources and the contributions of foreign specialists through Telepathology.
Under the operational coordination of Dr. Miriam Martinelli, in the span of 18 months between 2018 and 2019 the new laboratory was built on the back of the hospital, lab technicians were trained by APOF specialists, and WorldConnex carried out the implementation of Digital Pathology facility based on WaidX telemedicine platform.
The official inauguration of the Pathology Department took place on 16th nov 2019, with the official visit of the Defense Minister of Djibouti Hassan Omar Mohamed Bourhan and the General in chief of the armed forces Zakaria Cheikh Ibrahim. The authorities thanked APOF NGO and WorldConnex for their commitment in favor of healthcare diffusion to the people of Djibouti.
The implementation of the Pathology Department allowed to achieve the goal of a cost reduction in terms of 1/9 for the exams previously outsourced, with the dramatic reduction in diagnosys delivery time from an average of 3 months to 3-5 days. 
We believe that this scenario could define a model for diffusion of diagnostic facilities in developing countries.
