Innovative Collaboration Leverages Mobile Health Services and Advanced Artificial Intelligence Technology To Bring Care Directly to Vulnerable Populations
DocGo Inc., a leading provider of technology-enabled mobile health services, announced the launch of an innovative mobile x-ray program in partnership with MinXray. The program launched in New York City to provide rapid and accessible chest x-rays for vulnerable populations and help identify active Tuberculosis (“TB”) cases.
With increasing TB cases in cities across the US, this program is a timely response to a growing public health challenge. DocGo’s mobile units, equipped with MinXray’s advanced ultra-portable, battery powered x-ray system, offers chest x-rays for patients who test positive for TB via blood tests. The program uses third party artificial intelligence technology to quickly analyze x-ray images and prioritizes likely cases to be immediately read by a board-certified radiologist, helping ensure that those with active TB receive prompt confirmation and appropriate referrals for ongoing care.
“DocGo is on a mission to make healthcare accessible and immediate for those who need it most,” said Lee Beinstock, CEO of DocGo. “By integrating our extensive mobile health infrastructure and partnering with leaders in x-ray and AI technology, we can provide timely x-ray screenings and diagnosis. We’re pleased to launch this program to help reduce the spread of TB in our communities, and look forward to expanding this mobile health program for a range of diagnostic applications.”

The program is designed to deliver fast and efficient services. This rapid response is crucial in managing and treating TB effectively, particularly in high-risk populations.
Jeanne Walter, VP of Marketing & Sales at MinXray, added, “MinXray is committed to providing reliable and portable x-ray solutions that can be deployed anywhere, and we’re pleased to partner with DocGo on this innovative program.”
Looking ahead, DocGo aims to expand this mobile x-ray program to additional locations throughout New York City and offer this nimble service to additional municipalities and partners who are seeking a solution to bring x-ray diagnostics directly to patients who lack mobility and to help treat vulnerable populations.’
