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 prolonged cough and use machine learning to develop a quick triage tool. The goal is to speed up TB diagnosis, reduce the need for expensive lab tests, and make screening more accessible, especially in high-burden areas.
