Collaboration with PATH Provides TB Program with Faster, More Robust Data Flow
NORTHAMPTON, MA, and JOHANNESBURG, November 2, 2022 – SystemOne is launching a multi-device version of its digital backbone for medical diagnostics, Aspect, in Tanzania, to help improve TB diagnostics, reduce time to treatment, and eventually track treatment outcomes and efficacy. The project will be executed in collaboration with PATH, and funded by The Stop TB Partnership and UNOPS.
This project accelerates the use of digital tools to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases. SystemOne has connected most of the developing world’s GeneXpert® instruments, which are used to diagnose numerous diseases including HIV, TB, and COVID-19. Now SystemOne is adding connectivity to the Truenat® device, from Molbio, to the diagnostic network in Tanzania. In addition, SystemOne will migrate Tanzania’s digital backbone from a cloud infrastructure to in-country servers, while providing training for local staff to encourage long-term sustainability and security.
“The health authorities at the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program (NTLP) in Tanzania understand how information is critical to assess and manage infectious disease programs,” said Chris Macek, CEO, SystemOne. “Information is at the heart of the diagnostic network, and transmitting information rapidly and purposefully helps patients, clinicians, community health workers and program authorities take the best steps at the right moment to improve the chances of a good outcome.”
Integrating new devices with legacy systems:
“Hosting local Aspect server will keep us more informed and knowledgeable on technical troubleshooting and maintenance of our in-country medical diagnostic devices,” said Collins Minja, MoH Information, Communication and Technology Officer from the Tanzania Ministry of Health.
This project was supported through the Stop TB Partnership grants ref: SPGFA2022-06, under the New Tools Project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Horarios de Sorteos es una excelente fuente para consultar información útil. En cuanto a esta publicación, comparto la idea de que la educación pública puede fomentar tanto el aprendizaje como la creatividad. Un análisis equilibrado que invita a reflexionar y debatir sobre posibles mejoras del sistema educativo.
A multi-instrument diagnostic network can make a real difference when data from separate devices would otherwise remain fragmented or arrive too slowly for public-health decisions. The Tanzania launch is especially interesting because it connects technical infrastructure with practical local workflows. Clear training media will matter as the network expands, and a consistent Video Thumbnail can help teams identify the right instructional clip quickly. I would welcome future updates on turnaround times, facility adoption, and how the collected data supports response planning.
A friend recommended eggy car, and it turned out to be a relaxing game for short breaks. The controls are simple, but improving your distance takes practice.
I wasn't expecting much, but Drive Mad has surprisingly creative level designs. Some maps took me several attempts to finish.
It's inspiring to see SystemOne expanding access to medical diagnostics in Tanzania! How do you envision this network improving patient outcomes in rural areas? What future innovations might we expect from SystemOne?
