Indian Scientist Develops Beta-Thalassemia Screening App
A team of scientists, including Tanmay Sanyal from India, has created a special app called Susoka.
This app helps doctors check if someone might have a condition called beta-thalassemia.
It does this by looking at five important things in a regular blood test.
If the app finds something unusual, it suggests a more detailed test called HPLC.
Tanmay Sanyal is a teacher who loves nature and has won an award for his teaching.
He encourages his students to learn about the environment and think creatively.
The app is a big step in making it easier to detect beta-thalassemia, which is important for people's health.
Tanmay Sanyal and a team of 10 scientists developed the Susoka app for screening beta-thalassemia carriers.
The app analyzes five haematological parameters from a routine complete blood count test.
It computes threshold values of haemoglobin and other parameters mandated by the ICMR.
The app recommends the HPLC test for further analysis of haemoglobin variants.
Tanmay Sanyal is an assistant professor of zoology and has won the Global Teacher Award.
