Saleem Mohammed of XCode is developing a platform for publishing, through which "health signals" will be delivered. These health signals are delivered over a subscriber's mobile phone in a snack format comprised of a reminder system through SMS, a reply mechanism for confirmation, a 1-minute audio clip that educates about the disease, and a quiz for engagement and incentives to be awarded accordingly. The SMS acts as a teaser to the audio clip that expands and goes into greater detail about TB drug adherence. The technology is deployed in the cloud, which enables the solution to scale rapidly and dynamically. REAP TB also uses the services of TB survivors for counseling and following up with TB patients.
