Many of blood disorders are inherited and cause detrimental effect on patients’ lives. DrAidTM Thalassemia aims to assist with the diagnosis of blood disorders’ gene carriers using basic blood test to reduce the chance of parents passing to their children.
Thalassemia is an inherited hematologic disease associated with hemoglobin abnormalities, and is a common inherited blood disease with high treatment costs in medical research around the world.
Overcrowding for central hospitals. Only 17 hospitals can perform hemoglobin electrophoresis test, 17 provinces can do erythrocyte osmolarity test.
Not equipped with adequate knowledge about the disease, lack of equipment, diagnosis is very simple, sketchy, treatment quality is limited.
Not fully aware of the disease as well as the danger of the disease. The cost for each treatment is a lifetime burden, especially for families in rural and mountainous areas.
Features
Make recommendations on the risk of carrying the Thalassemia gene from routine testing (Complete Blood Count, Biochemical Blood Test)
Make recommendations on other causes of anemia (Iron deficiency anemia, Thalassemia Alpha gene anemia, Thalassemia beta gene anemia) to help raise awareness and professional qualifications for health workers
Centralize data to help manage Thalassemia carriers' information nationwide
