Problem definition: Healthcare systems in resource-limited settings rely on diagnostic networks which medical samples (e.g., blood, sputum) and results need to be transported between geographically dispersed healthcare facilities centralized laboratories. Academic/practical relevance: Existing sample transportation (ST) typically operate fixed schedules, do not account for demand variability lead unnecessary visits as well delays. Methodology: We design an optimized (OST) system that...
Diagnostics in many low- and middle-income countries are conducted through centralized laboratory networks. Samples collected from patients at remote point-of-care health facilities, diagnostic tests performed laboratories. Sample transportation systems that deliver samples test results crucial for timely diagnosis treatment such However, they often lack the accurate data (eg, quantity location of prepared collection) required efficient operation.
