Abstract:

The advent of the network era and the popularization of mobile terminals provide a good hardware foundation for mobile medical services. Previous studies have shown that the use of WeChat technology to carry out health education in tuberculosis in schools can make full use of medical resources and improve the awareness rate of core knowledge of tuberculosis prevention and treatment for teachers and students in schools. By using WeChat to manage the treatment of tuberculosis patients in school, we can accurately obtain direct evidence of patient compliance, improve patient compliance and overall quality of care, reduce management costs and improve management effectiveness. It is worth promoting the WeChat technology application in school tuberculosis prevention and control work.
