Treatment that travels with you.

e-TB Support replaces the paper treatment card and the daily doorstep visit with a private app — so patients keep their dignity, and health workers find the people who need them in minutes instead of weeks.

Locked with your PIN. Nothing on your phone names your illness.

Why this exists

Being treated should not cost you your privacy.

The daily doorstep visit

Someone arrives every morning to watch you swallow. Neighbours notice, and they know who that visitor works with. Some people stop treatment rather than be seen.

A card that can be lost

The treatment card is paper. It gets soaked, burned, or left behind when someone travels — and then a whole regimen has to be reconstructed over the phone.

Sixty days of silence

A patient who stops is often discovered at the month-two visit they never attend. By then the disease has progressed and spread.

“If I have 50 patients under my care, I can log in at 09:00 and see whether all 50 took their medication today. A job that would take a week of tracing takes five minutes.”

Dr. Patrick Lungu

Clinical Lead · former National TB Programme Manager, Zambia

How it works

Three steps, and one of them is a tap.

01
Enrol at the clinic
The nurse registers you exactly as they would in the treatment register, you scan a QR code, and you choose a PIN. It takes a minute.
02
One tap a day
A reminder arrives at the time you chose. Confirm you have taken your medicine and you are done. Nothing on your screen names your illness.
03
Your team sees who needs help
The facility opens on the list of people to contact today — so limited visits go to the patients who actually need them.

Confidentiality

Privacy is not a setting here. It is the design.

Stigma is what drives people off treatment. Every rule below is written into the clinical specification and enforced in the software, not left to policy.

PIN on open

The app locks itself. A phone left on a table reveals nothing.

Neutral by name

No message, notification or app icon names the illness or the medicine.

Role-based access

Volunteers see a name and a task. Districts see totals, never individuals.

Data stays home

Designed to run on Ministry of Health infrastructure, not a foreign cloud.
