Usability mTBScreen
Sponsor: Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia
Summary
Building on recent developments in the sphere of digital health and data science, as well as the principles of usability engineering, we propose to assess the usability of a digital tool called mTBscreen for tuberculosis (TB) screening and triage. The investigators will evaluate the ease-of-use, usability and preliminary acceptability of the tool when used by healthcare workers. This will inform the design and implementation of its use in an effectiveness-implementation study in lower health care levels for the identification of individuals at high risk of TB

mTBscreen Application
The mTBscreening tool, a digital application designed to support tuberculosis (TB) screening and triage, will be assessed for its usability in line with recent advancements in digital health, data science, and usability engineering principles. This study will evaluate the tool's ease of use, overall usability, and preliminary acceptability among healthcare workers. Findings from this assessment will inform the design and implementation of a subsequent effectiveness-implementation study aimed at identifying individuals at high risk of TB in lower levels of the healthcare system
Mobile phone Application
The mTBscreen app is a smartphone-based tuberculosis (TB) screening application that uses a machine learning (ML) algorithm to estimate an individual's risk of having active TB based on clinical, demographic, and epidemiological information
