Clinical Evidence & Guideline References
Boostara Innovations engineers AI decision-support algorithms grounded in internationally recognized and national clinical practice guidelines. This page provides transparent citations for every external guideline referenced in our diagnostic workflows.
Boostara clinical decision-support workflows may reference applicable WHO, NICE, and Kenya Ministry of Health guidance. Referencing these clinical guidance documents indicates alignment with evidence-based diagnostic protocols and does NOT imply that WHO, NICE, or the Kenya Ministry of Health have formally endorsed, certified, or sponsored Boostara Innovations or Boostara X-Ray AI.
Final clinical decisions, diagnoses, and pharmacological interventions remain solely the responsibility of the licensed treating healthcare professional.
