Harnessing new mHealth technologies to Strengthen the Management of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Vietnam: The V-SMART Trial

耐多药结核病是全球突发公共卫生事件。越南是该疾病的高负担地区。标准疗法经常会产生副作用，这可能会阻止患者完成治疗。我们将进行一项随机试验，以评估新的数字移动医疗（mHealth）技术对患者治疗结果的影响。这项研究将为利用快速发展的技术改善病人护理提供所需的证据。

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a global public health emergency. Vietnam is a high-burden setting for the disease. Standard therapies frequently cause side effects, which can prevent patients from completing their treatment. We will conduct a randomised trial to evaluate the effect of new digital mobile health (mHealth) technologies upon patient treatment outcomes. The study will provide the evidence required to harness the power of rapidly-advancing technologies for improved patient care.
