As we reflect on the ongoing fight against tuberculosis, we turn our attention to a new innovation in testing which could be a game-changer for high-burden communities.

Researchers at the University of Pretoria are developing a groundbreaking handheld device that could transform how TB is detected and screened. It’s called MARTI — a compact device that fits in the palm of your hand and requires just a single drop of blood. No sputum samples, no needles, and no lab delays. Early validation trials show that MARTI is coming close to the targets set by the World Health Organization for what an ideal TB test should look like — fast, reliable, and accessible.
