Closing diagnostic delays. Delivering rapid tuberculosis care across hard-to-reach communities.
TB REACH Wave-10 deployed ultra-portable digital chest X-ray vans with AI computer-aided triage and decentralized sputum specimen logistics to reach vulnerable populations across Nigeria.
Guiding clinical interventions with precision, field insight, and community trust
Leveraging field epidemiological data, laboratory network partnerships, and frontline expertise, this project built a decentralized diagnosis ecosystem that enabled patients and community health workers to detect tuberculosis early. Through active case finding, digital adherence tools, and rapid molecular GeneXpert confirmation, RedAid Nigeria ensured hard-to-reach communities received timely care.
