Contextual factors influencing implementation of tuberculosis digital adherence technologies: a scoping review guided by the RE-AIM framework.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Digital adherence technologies (DATs) may enable person-centred tuberculosis (TB) treatment monitoring; however, implementation challenges may undermine their effectiveness. Using the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance framework, we conducted a scoping review to identify contextual factors informing 'reach' (DAT engagement by people with TB) and 'adoption' (DAT uptake by healthcare providers or clinics).
