From the MobileActive blog:
X out TB seeks to reduce the necessity of daily health worker monitoring of TB patients by offering patients incentives for compliance. Patients in the program are given monthly supplies of urinalysis test strips that are dispensed every 24 hours out of a special dispenser. The strips, developed by the X out TB team, contain four printed numbers and embedded chemicals that turn a certain combination of numbers a new color when they react with the urine of patients who have taken TB medication. Patients then send an SMS to a database reporting the numbers on their strip, which is monitored by health care workers and doctors
