This project seeks to identify tuberculosis transmission hotspots using phone-tracking technology. By mapping patient movements in real-time, it aims to enhance public health interventions and prevent outbreaks through targeted measures.
TB is transmitted via person-to-person aerosols.
Recent studies suggests that in TB endemic areas up to 70% of transmission events take place outside the household in public places.
Moreover, TB transmission is unequally spatially distributed and occurs in transmission hotspot areas.
Mathematical models consequently demonstrated that identifying hotspots and blocking within-hotspot-transmission through targeted public health interventions will be the most efficient way of lowering the TB burden.…
