t-bu Lite

About t-bu Lite Android App

This app brings a patient oriented approach to TB treatment and management in Kenyan health facilities and communities.

The MOH: DNTLD-P Kenya utilizes t-bu as a national case based surveillance system for Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases. This electronic version (t-bu lite) seeks to go beyond recording and reporting and into case based patient management. It’s built to provide options for care seeking and knowledge on how to manage TB screening, referral and treatment.

Designed for HCWs, CHVs and Private Pharmacies/ Chemists, this app provides quick reference to TB treatment guidelines in addition to the screening, contact management treatment and client appointment modules. With the app, all players will be able to;

1. Read the integrated TB guidelines
2. Do self-tests on the TB guidelines modules completed
3. Record all TB screening encounters at facility, community and private sector settings
4. Referral of all screening and symptomatic clients to the TB diagnostic and treatment sites in Kenya
5. Manage contacts for TB clients including initiation of TB preventive Therapy (TPT)
6. Manage TB and DRTB patients with clear tracking of appointments to enhance favorable outcome
7. Earn rewards points for achievement of every target in the rewards matrix

This app is an upgrade of the existing t-bu reporting system which is managed by the county and sub county TB coordinators in Kenya.
