4-CAGE-TB Fortifying the automated smartphone-based Cough Audio classification for rapid triaGE testing for tuberculosis project

Coordinator: STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY (ZA)

Tuberculosis (TB) is the single biggest infectious cause of death globally, a situation worsened by COVID-19. Revolutionary new TB triage tests are required, including at facilities where people are accessible and efficiently referable to confirmatory testing. The Cough Audio triaGE for TB (CAGE-TB) study was EDCTP2-funded to 1) collect cough sounds at people’s point-of-entry into primary care facilities (South Africa) and derive an audio classifier, 2) validate diagnostic accuracy in independent cohorts (South Africa, Uganda), and 3) deploy mixed methods research (costing, implementation sci…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2025-01-01 to 2026-12-31.
