Summary

This study explores whether community health workers can use a new skin test, with or without AI help, to test close contacts of TB patients at home instead of at a clinic. The goal is to make it easier for people, especially children and families in Tajikistan and Tanzania, to get tested and start preventive treatment. Researchers will compare home-based testing to clinic-based testing to see which approach leads to more people completing their full course of TB prevention.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CY-TB Patch (a skin test patch) and TB Connect app (AI-assisted reading tool)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make TB preventive care more accessible and increase treatment completion rates, reducing TB spread in high-burden communities.
What could go wrong
This is an implementation study, not a drug trial, so it tests logistics and feasibility rather than a new cure. Results may vary between countries and settings.
