Cost-effectiveness of a medication event monitoring system for tuberculosis management in Morocco.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital health technologies have been used to enhance adherence to TB medication, but the cost-effectiveness remains unclear.

Methods

We used the real data from the study conducted from April 2014 to December 2020 in Morocco using a smart pillbox with a web-based medication monitoring system, called Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS). Cost-effectiveness was evaluated using a decision analysis model including Markov model for Multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB from the health system perspective. The primary outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) per disability adjusted life-year (DALY) averted. Two-way sensitive analysis was done for the treatment success rate between MEMS and standard of care.

Results
