Enhancing Tuberculosis Treatment Adherence: Evaluating the Efficacy of the Support for Treatment Adherence and Medication Protocols (STAMP) Device for Automatic Dispensing and Real-Time Medication Monitoring.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating strict adherence to medication for successful treatment and prevention of drug resistance. Adherence to a regular medication regimen is crucial in TB management, yet achieving high adherence rates among patients proves challenging due to various factors including forgetfulness, complexity of treatment schedules, and socioeconomic barriers. This study explores the potential of an automatic medicine dispenser (AMD) anchored system to improve medication adherence among TB patients and evaluates its impact through monitoring and feedback mechanisms.
