The advanced technology of Vxell 4.0
As reported in a note, «thanks to Vxell 4.0 technology, customers will be able to access analysis services and reports in a very short time: to make an appointment, simply book directly in the Boots Pharmacies in Corvetto and Cortina or via the Group’s Webapp. The results of the exam will be provided within a few minutes.” Therefore, the use «of advanced technology such as Vxell 4.0 will strengthen the synergy between the pharmacy services and the territory, underlining how important it is for the Group to facilitate citizens by providing them with more points of access to healthcare».
Vxell 4.0 Features
It is worth mentioning that Vxell 4.0 is based on high-definition digital microscopy powered by artificial intelligence. This allows the identification, classification and counting of blood cells with an unprecedented level of accuracy. The algorithm that supports Vxell 4.0 was recognized in 2022 by the World artificial intelligence conference as one of the best applied to diagnostic technology. With this combination, the blood count in the pharmacy reaches a quality comparable to that of specialized laboratories.
