our mission
is to have less people sick with preventable diseases.
We’re starting with tuberculosis.
Our strategy is simple: Teach. Test. Treat.
-
The first, most important phase: educate people about infectious diseases. This helps inform communities most impacted about ways they are susceptible, reducing stigma, how they can access care, and instill an understanding and trust that early detection saves lives.
-
Once affected populations are convinced of the need for diagnosis, we will provide tools to perform diagnostic testing to limit the spread of disease.
-
Finally, to increase chances of recovery and long-term health in affected communities, we will provide technology to monitor treatment progression for patients.
