Each year, 10.4 million patients are diagnosed with and 1.7 million people die from Tuberculosis (TB). Despite the availability of highly effective and accessible medications in the developing world where TB is endemic, the 6-18 month treatment regimen is often thwarted as patients fail to comply due to a lack of knowledge about the disease, desire for privacy, and/or stigma avoidance. Successful TB treatment is critical for reducing transmission, the selection of drug-resistant strains and treatment costs. Mobile health interventions promise to increase treatment success, especially in regions where directly observed treatment (DOT) is impractical. The most promising interventions attempted thus far employ a combination of SMS reminders and medication monitors. However, there is relatively little high-quality evidence on their impact, and what evidence there is shows mixed success. In Kenya, the burden of TB is among the highest in the world with a prevalence rate of 558 cases per 100,000 people. There is a great need for the development of alternative protocols, which reduce the costs of treatment and burden of adherence, and more effectively motivate patients to adhere to the program. A substantial and growing literature in the social sciences demonstrates the potential of behavioral interventions for generating large increases in contributions to public goods. Keheala, a feature-phone and Internet-based digital platform that uses Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) technology to register a patient's self-verification of medication adherence alongside support and motivation, based on proven techniques from the behavioral sciences, was shown in a 1,200-patient randomized controlled trial (RCT) to reduce the unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes in Kenya by two-thirds compared to the standard of care protocol. This 15,500 patient RCT will compare Keheala's scalability, cost-effectiveness and social impact to alternative interventions across diverse regions of Kenya.
This study sought to assess the impact of the MMR service on identifying and resolving TRPs, improving adherence, depression and anxiety scores in females diagnosed with depression and anxiety in Jordan
The goal of the proposed study is to enhance adherence and retention in care for M/XDR-TB HIV patients through enhanced standard of care, targeted transition to outpatient medication self-administration prior to hospital discharge, and use of community adherence groups, with an overarching goal of promoting patient engagement in a care continuum.

The study aimed at assessing whether the guidelines from the European project FOCUS had an effect on adherence to a physical activity program in older women. The program consisted of two 12-week periods, in which women followed a set of pre-specified exercises (1 hour, twice per week). The first period was supervised by a monitor while the second was autonomous. Support groups, in which the contact between participants was established through information and communication technologies (social-network through the mobile phone), were set up to maintain engagement between participants. Women were randomized to three arms consisting of 2 intervention groups, with and without the FOCUS guidelines, and a sedentary control. Secondary outcomes included a battery of dimensions affecting physical performance, psychological status, and quality of life.
This study incorporates a virtual reality (VR) simulated walking environment, with audio component of patient education, into the treadmill portion of outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The VR program was developed by Plas.MD and is named Bionautica Trails.
A prospective non-interventional single-center study aimed to evaluate the influence of participation in international randomized controlled trials (RCT) of cardiovascular patients on their compliance and adherence to medicines' intake and regular visits to the doctor in comparison with those patients, who had never participated in RCT within the outpatient registry PROFILE (prospective, observational study).
A single site, cross-sectional, pilot study of a mHealth application. Primary Objective This purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate mHealth adherence to a developmental application, Babysparks©, by parents of infants with complex congenital cardiac disease and single ventricle heart disease. Secondary Objective(s) -To determine the demographic and infant characteristics that correlate with mHealth adherence. -The rate of developmental progress of milestones while using the application will also be compared between infants with single ventricle cardiac disease and bi-ventricular cardiac disease. Research Intervention(s)/ Investigational Agent(s) Babysparks© developmental application is the main intervention with evaluation on feasibility of the mHealth application in a pediatric cardiology population. Study participants will be parents of infants with single ventricle and bi-ventricular complex congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery in the first six weeks of life and are currently less than 18 months of age. Study Population There are approximately 150 new patients a year who have undergone cardiac surgery, with an additional 150 who are 18 months of age or less. Sample Size A maximum of 400 families/year Study Duration for Individual Participants Study participants will be monitored for a minimum of 6 months with the use of the BabySparks© App; to a maximum of 24 months of use of the app or when the child reaches a developmental age of 24 months, whichever occurs first.
