Harnessing new mHealth technologies to Strengthen the Management of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Vietnam: The V-SMART Trial [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a global public health emergency. Vietnam is a high-burden setting for the disease. Standard therapies frequently cause side effects, which can prevent patients from completing their treatment. We will conduct a randomised trial to evaluate the effect of new digital mobile health (mHealth) technologies upon patient treatment outcomes. The study will provide the evidence required to harness the power of rapidly-advancing technologies for improved patient care.
