This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new digital support program called CARE-TB to help tuberculosis patients stick with their treatment. The program combines video check-ins with a pharmacist, automatic medication reminders, one-on-one counseling, and educational materials — all accessed through a smartphone or computer. The goal is to make it easier for patients to complete their full course of TB treatment and improve their chances of recovery.
Even though tuberculosis treatment works well, some patients stop taking their medications or skip doses, which can lead to treatment failure, relapse, and drug-resistant TB. This program aims to provide flexible, less invasive support using technology that many people already have access to, rather than requiring daily in-person visits.
If you join this study, you will be assigned to either standard TB treatment support (regular in-person visits where a healthcare worker observes you taking your medication) or the CARE-TB digital program (where you use your phone or computer to record yourself taking your medication, receive automatic reminders, talk with a pharmacist, and access educational materials). The study takes place at TB treatment centers in Selangor, Malaysia, and follows you throughout your intensive treatment phase to measure how well the digital program helps you stick with your medications and complete your treatment.
