TEHRAN – A knowledge-based company in Iran has designed devices for remote medical diagnosis based on artificial intelligence (AI), Mehr reported on Sunday.

The company, which is active in the field of digital health, focuses on diagnostic products in order to promote new technologies in the field of health.

“We can design the devices using signal and image processing technologies as well as artificial intelligence for remote diagnosis,” the company’s managing director Fatemeh Rafan said.

She said that accurate diagnosis is one of the main issues in health problems.

For example, a problem in blood chemistry can be diagnosed through sampling by electronic and smart devices, she added.

Medical remote diagnosis is a special field and a few number of countries have got achievements in this field and this technology is monopolized by its creators, she said.

“However, we can attain such achievements with the help of experts in different fields of technology in order to develop digital economy.”

Using smart gadgets and other technologies, patients can be treated and diagnosed remotely, she noted.

She named home blood glucose kits as one the first-generation examples of self-diagnostic devices.

Now, the remote diagnosis technology is being expanded with the help of signal processing and AI, she added.

“We aim not only to develop diagnostic devices, but also to encourage people to be aware of remote diagnostic methods,” she said.

In the near future, all of us should use these devices in the field of medical sciences, she concluded.
