Abstract

Abstract:

In 1994, the World Health Organization proposed the directly observed treatment (DOT) strategy, which pointed out that medical staff should mainly carry out DOT for TB patients. The implementation of DOT has made great achievement in improving patient adherence and strengthening patient management, and played a favorable role in controlling the tuberculosis epidemic, but the implementation of DOT in countries and regions with limited resources and high burdens still faces many difficulties and challenges. The arrival of mobile health has brought new opportunities and vitality for the management of tuberculosis patients. This article aims to explore the current state of mobile health, introduce the development of mobile health, and the application of mobile health such as short messaging service (SMS) and video observed therapy (VDOT) in the management of tuberculosis patients, and provide reference for enriching the management model of tuberculosis patients and improving treatment compliance.

Key words: Cellular phone, Computer communication networks, Tuberculosis,pulmonary, Reminder systems, Self administration, Medication adherence, Case management
