ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well a special computer program called MATCH-AI can help find people with tuberculosis (TB) more effectively during screening events. The trial compares two different ways of choosing locations for these screenings: one using predictions from the MATCH-AI software and the other relying on the knowledge and experience of the staff running the camps. The goal is to see if using the AI tool can lead to finding more cases of TB in the community.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be 15 years or older and can include anyone who has previously had TB. Unfortunately, children under 15 and pregnant women cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect to take part in a screening camp where you will be tested for TB, and your participation will help researchers understand if using AI can improve TB detection in the future. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you or someone you know meets the eligibility criteria, it could be a valuable opportunity to contribute to important research.
