The ASCENT project is beyond exited to join the online Union World Conference on Lung Health 2022, themed “Combating Pandemics: today & tomorrow”. With numerous oral abstracts, symposia, e-posters and satellite sessions regarding digital adherence technology (DAT) used for tuberculosis (TB) treatment (see the list by The Global DAT Task Force), the ASCENT team also contributes to the conference with several presentations.
