The document discusses a proposed low-cost device called Parichaya that aims to increase adherence to tuberculosis treatment among patients in rural Assam, India. It begins with statistics on TB worldwide and in India, Assam, and Kamrup. It then describes a study of TB patients in Kamrup that found low health literacy, lack of information resources, and idle time at health centers. Existing interventions like U-Box, eCompliance and STOP TB Carnival are discussed. Parichaya is then proposed as a medical kit using this idle time to provide TB information and supervise treatment for increased motivation and adherence.
