Tuberculosis Diagnosis
AI-Powered Tuberculosis Detection
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's leading infectious killers, claiming approximately 1.6 million lives annually. TB-AI transforms diagnosis using artificial intelligence to analyze microscope slide images captured with any smartphone camera.
Our platform automates smear microscopy — the most widely used TB diagnostic in resource-limited settings — eliminating human error, reducing time-to-result, and delivering consistent, clinical-grade accuracy.
How It Works
A simple five-step process that brings expert diagnostic capabilities directly onto the laboratory bench.
-
1
Prepare the Sputum Smear
Laboratory technicians prepare and stain the microscope slide using the standard Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining protocol.
-
2
Capture with Smartphone
Hold your smartphone camera over the microscope eyepiece. The TB-AI mobile app guides optimal focus and image capture.
-
3
Upload to TB-AI Platform
The captured high-resolution image is securely uploaded to our cloud AI server via active cellular networks or local Wi-Fi.
-
4
AI Analysis
Our deep learning convolutional neural network analyzes the slide, detecting and counting acid-fast bacilli (AFB) with expert precision.

5
Receive Report
A detailed diagnostic PDF report is generated in under 3 minutes, automatically graded by TB burden (scanty, 1+, 2+, 3+).
Key System Benefits
Rapid Results
Reduces manual slide evaluation time from 20+ minutes to less than 3 minutes, accelerating clinical triage.
97% Accuracy
Formally validated against the clinical GeneXpert reference standards, ensuring peerless diagnostic consistency.
Cost-Effective
Over 10× cheaper per slide test than traditional PCR cartridge-based methods, lowering barrier to healthcare.
