We evaluated the use of videophone technology to provide directly observed therapy (DOT) to patients with active tuberculosis. During 304 treatment doses, adherence on videophone DOT was 95%, and patient acceptance of the technology was excellent. In selected cases, the use of videophone technology can maintain a high level of adherence to DOT in a cost-effective manner.
我们评估了使用可视电话技术为活动性肺结核患者提供直接观察治疗(DOT)的情况。在304次治疗剂量期间,可视电话DOT的依从性为95%,患者对该技术的接受度很高。在某些情况下,使用可视电话技术可以以具有成本效益的方式维持对DOT的高依从性。
