ASLM 2021

On 18 November 2021, FIND is participating at ASLM 2021 in both a satellite and plenary session, and will be presenting a poster during the the Oral Abstract presentations.

Satellite session: Increasing access and efficiency of diagnostic networks using OptiDx- an open-access network analytics tool, 7:00–8:00 GMT

This session will highlight the value of diagnostics network optimization (DNO) — diagnostic system strengthening interventions across multiple diseases — to help align demand for testing and capacity access in the most cost-effective way. It will provide an overview of the OptiDx software, a web-based, open-access software based on industry best practices in supply chain network analytics and provide insights into outputs from a multi-country pilot, where OptiDx results are supporting data-driven planning of diagnostic testing services across TB, HIV and other diseases.
