SMARThivCD4mos: a complexity-free and cost effective model technology for monitoring HIV patients CD4 number in resource-poor settings.
We design a "simple" and "low cost" model technology for monitoring HIV patients CD4 number in resource-poor settings: SMARThivCD4mos. Cost and complexity are the major challenges to the developing world in transferring and implementing HIV surveillance technologies. We previously proposed a "three tests" combo kit model for improving HIV patients monitoring standards in resource-poor settings. From the pool of recommended alternative CD4 counting technologies, our "three tests" combo kit model retained the Capcellia technology for its "simplicity". However, compared to other CD4 counting technologies, such as Dynabeads, the Capcellia technology is "expensive". Here, we describe a cost reduction strategy of the Capcellia technology.
