Digital Health in the TB Response: Scaling Up the TB Response through Information and Communication Technologies

- The potential of information and communication technologies to combat TB still remains largely untapped.
- Many countries and partners have embarked on pilot projects to study how eHealth (electronic health) and mHealth (mobile health) can be used in the fight against TB.
- WHO is in the process of collating evidence and aims to eventually develop policies to maximize the impact of these technologies for people with TB.
- Support is needed to scale-up effective eHealth and mHealth approaches after evaluation.
