Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the transformational role of technology and AI in TB prevention and care.
Ending TB, as highlighted in the WHO Global TB report 2024, demands a renewed focus on urgency, speed, efficiency, and quality in our collective efforts to ending TB. This Special Issue of the journal spotlights the transformational role of technology and AI in accelerating progress towards the equitable access to and delivery of high-quality TB prevention and care services. It will emphasize best practices and enablers for success in leveraging technology and AI for TB prevention and care.
For optimal benefit from this opportunity, authors should share practical approaches in the following areas: navigating national regulatory agencies, ensuring robust data privacy and protection, and promoting equitable access especially for vulnerable populations. Authors are also encouraged to share strategies for engaging professional bodies such as radiologists, managing procurement and maintenance, and determining how to align technological opportunities with existing health systems and infrastructure for sustainable implementation.
This Special Issue will be practical in ensuring the translation of science and opportunities to public health actions and aims to inspire actionable solutions that address current gaps and drive impactful change.
