Article Synopsis
- The current approach to tuberculosis (TB) control is insufficient to meet the World Health Organization's goal of eliminating TB by 2035, leading to the exploration of innovative solutions like drones and digital monitoring.
- A study in rural Madagascar compared a new intervention called Drone Observed Therapy System (DrOTS) with the standard Directly Observed Therapy (DOTS), taking into account costs and treatment outcomes over a population of 200,000.
- Results showed that while DrOTS costs more per patient identified compared to DOTS, it offers a reasonable cost-effectiveness ratio, suggesting that integrating advanced technologies may enhance TB care and treatment adherence.
