This is person-centered care in action. If not TB, then what could it be? 📷.That’s the question many people ask when their #CXR looks abnormal, but their sputum test result is negative for TB. Thanks to #TBREACH, the team offers additional lung function tests to check for.

3⃣Look what we mean when we say Point of Care. No electricity here. But you can get a chest x-ray, read by #AI & and get tested on the spot! It takes 30 mins or less to get a result 👀. This setup could be coming to communities that currently lack access to #TB diagnostics.

How about screening with a device smaller than an apple? No radiation. No wires. Could it work to detect TB? In Nigeria, AI  Diagnostics Ostium, a digital stethoscope coupled with AI, is being evaluated in communities. (3/4)

We also saw very cool new screening tools that could reduce costs & make outreach even more accessible. How is the image quality of much less expensive hand-held X-ray @MolbioDx ? Can these machines be used for large scale screening efforts in places without electricity? (2/4)
