Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app can tell the difference between a TB cough and other coughs by analyzing audio recordings. Researchers will collect cough sounds from 1,751 people with a cough lasting at least two weeks, then use machine learning to build a quick screening tool. The goal is to help doctors decide who needs further TB testing, potentially saving time and reducing unnecessary lab work.
