OneImpact: The Digital Application Transforming the Fight Against Tuberculosis
In a world where tuberculosis continues to cause serious harm—especially in sub-Saharan Africa and in resource-limited countries—the Stop TB Partnership and its partners have developed an innovative digital solution: OneImpact.
This free digital platform is much more than just a health app. It serves as a digital bridge between communities affected by tuberculosis and healthcare systems, placing the patient at the center. Designed with and for people affected by TB, OneImpact embodies a new vision of community health: participatory, transparent, and action-oriented.
Why download OneImpact?
📲 To get informed and break the silence
Tuberculosis remains surrounded by stigma and misinformation. OneImpact provides immediate access to reliable, clear, and accessible information about the disease, its symptoms, treatment, and patients’ rights. No need to wait for a consultation to understand what you are experiencing.
📲 To find medical services near you
Thanks to geolocation of care centers, the app allows users to quickly locate healthcare facilities offering TB-related services—screening, treatment, and follow-up—even in the most remote areas.
📲 To report challenges and be heard
OneImpact gives patients and communities a real voice. Drug stockouts, poor treatment in healthcare facilities, treatment interruptions, financial barriers—everything can be reported through the app, confidentially.
📲 To contribute to improving health programs
Each report and interaction on the platform generates real-time data shared with national TB programs. By using OneImpact, every patient becomes an agent of change and helps improve the system for everyone.
📲 To not face the disease alone
OneImpact connects users with community support networks, TB champions, and peers who have gone through similar experiences. Healing comes not only from medication but also from human support.

Bridging the gap between communities and health systems
One of the biggest challenges in the fight against TB is the gap between realities on the ground and what health decision-makers perceive.
OneImpact helps bridge this gap by:
collecting direct reports from patients and community workers
transmitting data in real time to national programs
enabling rapid responses to drug shortages, treatment interruptions, and health system failures
Strengthening Community-Led Monitoring (CLM)
Within Community-Led Monitoring mechanisms, OneImpact is a key tool.
It enables civil society organizations and patient networks to:
document barriers to accessing care
produce evidence for advocacy
engage national programs with verifiable data
assess the quality of health services from the users’ perspective
It is an accountability tool that transforms individual experiences into drivers of systemic change.
