AI Revolution in Parasitology: Techcyte Featured in Groundbreaking Study

We’re proud to share that Techcyte’s AI-powered diagnostic platform has been highlighted in a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. The research demonstrates how deep learning can transform stool microscopy by automating the detection and classification of protozoan and helminth parasites.

Key Findings
  • Accuracy: 98.6% positive agreement after validation.
  • Sensitivity: Detected parasites at lower concentrations than traditional microscopy.
  • Efficiency: Streamlines workflows and reduces reliance on manual microscopy.

This innovation is set to redefine parasitology diagnostics worldwide, and as the exclusive UK distributor of Techcyte, we’re excited to bring this cutting-edge technology to laboratories across the country.
