Mobile phone data has a great potential for good and our framework allows this data to be augmented with vulnerability and other information at a fraction of the cost.
Although differential exposures have been addressed by Sexton and Hattis (2006), it is important to note that disparities in environmental exposures probably play an important, albeit poorly understood, role in the origins and persistence of health disparities by race and SES, which can be augmented by vulnerabilities.
The rates of TB in specific migrant groups often correspond to those of their countries of origin [ 103, 104], while reactivation risk may increase due to socioeconomic vulnerability augmented by stressful migration conditions [ 105].
