A randomized control trial funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to study the impact of different digital adherence monitoring technologies such as 99DOTS and MERM deployed by the National TB program. The primary objective is to study how these monitoring methods impact patient adherence and clinical outcomes. The trial will involve the implementation of specific interventions, develop tools for primary data interviews, and collect secondary programmatic data to estimate the impact of the interventions. Qualitative research will be conducted integrating all data sources to understand and explain the behavioral mechanisms driving impact and how to optimize interventions for patients and the health system. In addition, the study will also incorporate a Costing exercise and a Time-and-Motion study to estimate the cost and resource requirements of implementing different adherence technologies.
