How did the BGI PCR kit for COVID-19 diagnosis become one of Israel’s most widely used kits?

 

At the beginning of the pandemic, one of the main challenges was to identify and stop the disease from spreading in the community. Creating a need for a scalable and faster diagnosis.

 

To this end, countless kit manufacturers started developing different solutions to decrease the time from sample to result and increase the number of tests in a given time.

BGI introduced a new PCR kit to detect COVID-19 to the Israeli ministry of health and health providers. 

At the time, the leading supplier of PCR kits provided the full solution – both the PCR kits and the analysis software.

Although BGI is a well-known company in its field and has an impressive track record in the PCR world, it couldn’t deliver a full and elegant solution for COVID-19 testing. The solution BGI provided was lacking analysis software, especially one that will be accepted by the Israeli ministry of health and cyber Authority. 

AIDTES was built just for that – providing a scalable, accurate, secure solution that can interpret results using advanced AI and machine learning algorithms.  

Following BGI’s local supplier request, we’ve integrated the BGI kit in AIDTES software and achieved a complete end-to-end solution that was approved by the Israeli authorities, and the software was installed in 4 out of the 5 of Israels HMOs, using different PCR instruments in multiple locations.

Following the software development and kit integration, BGI sold more than 3 million tests in Israel, as they could provide the complete solution with AIDTES.
