Terms of project implementation: October 2018 – October 2019.
The project is funded under the TB Reach Stop TB Partnership program. In Ukraine, the project is implemented by a consortium of organizations, consisting of: PATH, NGO "Labor and Health Social Initiatives", KNCV and Everwell.
The purpose of the project is to improve the adherence to the digital health adherence of patients with tuberculosis.
Target group and geography of the project: patients who have tuberculosis and are treated in the territory of Mykolaiv and Odessa oblasts.
The project is aimed at introducing digital technologies for forming adherence to the treatment of tuberculosis. Within the framework of the activity it is planned to use evriMED smart boxes recommended by the WHO, which will be provided to patients.
This demonstration project will assess the practicality, impact and feasibility of introducing real-time electronic dosing devices (smart boxes) and introducing DOT (VOT) video to improve the treatment efficiency of adult patients with various forms of tuberculosis who receive outpatient treatment. Using this technology will allow you to quickly identify and timely respond to problems that arise during treatment of patients. Thus, doctors who carry out DOT will be able to provide advisory support to the patients who are in need of assistance in a timely manner.
NGO "Labor and Health Social Initiatives" is responsible for the procurement of innovative equipment, fieldwork in the regions and operational research.
