Innovator Pathway

Overlap between the stages is intentional and representative of iteration that occurs during the development, qualification, evaluation and scale-up process

To facilitate innovators seeking to bring new innovations to support and enable these ideal TB Care models, we have:

  • Detailed a typical digital health product development, qualification, evaluation and scale-up pathway,

  • Linked best practice (exemplary or illustrative) information for other innovations that have successfully navigated this pathway

  • Provided evidence base and contact information for these best practice innovators

TB Innovator Pathway Resources

Across the innovator pathway, multiple resources are available to guide best practice development of digital health technologies. Some of these may not be specific to TB or digital health, but they nevertheless provide relevant and valuable insight and guidance.
