One of the keys to defeating tuberculosis is increasing the systematic and active detection of TB among the high-risk populations. To combat this threat effectively, mass screening is required to enable early detection followed by a quick response. But these high-risk populations reside especially in remote areas, due to the lack of health facilities and trained clinicians available.
To overcome this challenge, Oldelft Benelux has developed the OneStopTB clinic.
The complete screening solution Delft has developed for inaccessible areas is the OneStopTB clinic. OneStopTB is a tailor-made, mobile platform that combines digital X-ray, the detection software
CAD4TB (Computer-Aided Detection for Tuberculosis) and GeneXpert’s GXP test. It provides a robust solution that is easily transported over both paved and unpaved roads to high-risk areas such as slums, mines or prisons for a periodical screening. The CAD4TB software, combined with
teleradiology, allows for quality tuberculosis detection even in the absence of human experts.
