Decentralized
and community screening

Decentralized and community screening brings TB services closer to people in remote and underserved areas. It expands case finding while remaining aligned with national systems.

Scaling screening within national health systems

National TB programs must expand coverage, improve detection, and manage costs. While AI tools are easier to compare, integration and service continuity drive success. We help governments build integrated TB screening systems that fit existing infrastructure.

The system challenge

Community screening settings often involve: 

  • Limited infrastructure and unstable power supply
  • Limited access to trained frontline healthworkers
  • Connectivity constraints 
  • High volumes during outreach campaigns 
  • Risk of fragmented data capture and reporting 

To strengthen the national system, community screening needs shared workflows, shared reporting, and clear operational ownership. 

 

Our solution

AI-based solutions for screening are easier to compare than they were a few years ago. In many settings, the deciding factors are integration, implementation quality, service continuity, and the operating model.

We work with governments to strengthen national TB screening systems by building integrated screening systems that fit existing health infrastructure. 

Implementation and operational reliability

Technology only strengthens health systems when it is implemented well.

Structured rollout planning

We align rollout plans with national TB strategies and operational realities.

Frontline training

We train frontline professionals to use digital X-ray and AI with confidence.

Workflow integration

We integrate our solutions into existing clinical and national data systems.

Lifecycle management

We provide preventive maintenance, refresher training, and warranty support .

High system uptime

24/7 helpdesk and local partners ensure fast issue resolution.

Grid-independent operation

Battery and solar power enable screening in remote settings

Protected outreach continuity

Reliable performance safeguards screening momentum and public trust.

Economic sustainability and responsible AI

Decentralized screening needs financial accountability.

We support decision-makers with:

  • Throughput and workflow optimization
  • Planning to optimize screening throughput
  • Fewer unnecessary referrals through clearer triage
  • Performance reporting that supports accountability
  • Ongoing validation support and regulatory compliance planning

Expanding TB screening through integrated outreach

Expanding access while strengthening systems

Decentralized screening strengthens national TB strategies when it is integrated, reported, and supported like any other part of the health system.

Strengthen your national screening strategy

If your program is planning outreach in rural or underserved areas and wants to maintain integration and sustainability, we can help assess deployment options and operating requirements.
