TBAssist is a health decision-support tool that puts the latest World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for pediatric TB into a simple, accessible, and easy-to-use format. It is designed to help healthcare workers make timely and confident treatment decisions.
The tool can be used for:
- TB Diagnostics and Treatment Decisions: Systematically evaluate children under 10 using the WHO Treatment Decision Algorithms (TDAs) to determine if TB treatment should be initiated.
- Shorter Treatment Regimen Eligibility: Quickly assess children and adolescents diagnosed with TB to determine if they are eligible for the shorter 4-month treatment regimen.
