Clinical Report: Evaluating the Impact of Digital Health Solutions on Tuberculosis Management

Overview

{'add': 'Specify the outcomes measured in the analysis.', 'remove': '', 'update': ''}

Background

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of mortality globally, with incomplete adherence to treatment contributing to poor outcomes and increased drug resistance. Traditional directly observed therapy (DOT) faces challenges such as resource intensity and patient privacy concerns. Digital health interventions present a promising alternative to improve treatment adherence and outcomes.
