Ensuring tuberculosis treatment adherence with a mobile-based CARE-call system in Thailand: a pilot study.

Medication non-adherence in tuberculosis (TB) patients is an obstacle to TB treatment. Directly observed treatment to monitor and ensure adherence still has some limitations in high TB-burden countries. Most digital adherence technologies emphasize medication-taking reminder functions; however, a bi-directional communication platform to provide patient-health workers with an interface that focuses on enhancing medication adherence is likely to improve medical adherence.
