为了减少艾滋病毒/艾滋病、糖尿病、结核病和疟疾等慢性病的流行，需要在门诊坚持长期治疗。本文提出了一种基于移动的技术的医疗警报系统，门诊坚持在尼日利亚。该系统利用了移动的电话的短信和语音功能。该系统有可能通过短信和语音呼叫提醒患者剂量计划和预约时间，从而提高门诊患者的药物依从性。它还将告知患者与依从性相关的益处和风险。旨在提高依从性的干预措施将通过（风险因素的）初级预防和不良健康结果的二级预防，提供显著的正投资回报。
Adherence to long-term therapy in outpatient setting is required to reduce the prevalence of chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Diabetes, Tuberculosis and Malaria. This paper presents a mobile technology-based medical alert system for outpatient adherence in Nigeria. The system makes use of the SMS and voice features of mobile phones. The system has the potential of improving adherence to medication in outpatient setting by reminding patients of dosing schedules and attendance to scheduled appointments through SMS and voice calls. It will also inform patients of benefits and risks associated with adherence. Interventions aimed at improving adherence would provide significant positive return on investment through primary prevention (of risk factors) and secondary prevention of adverse health outcomes.
