AI in healthcare: Early detection can help prevent TB spread

Tuberculosis (TB) is a treatable disease, but every year millions of cases go undiagnosed – often because people don’t have convenient access to healthcare services. In India alone, around 2.17 million cases have been reported between January and October this year; the country accounts for about 25% of the global TB burden. Improving diagnosis is critical to eradicating TB, and artificial intelligence (AI) can play an important role in improving detection.
