Abstract

Digital healthcare delivery models have been introduced to improve access to tuberculosis treatment in remote areas of Uganda. A longitudinal study design was employed, utilising surveys and administrative data to analyse trends over time. Digital healthcare adoption varied significantly across villages, with an average compliance rate of 75% among patients using these models. The findings indicate a need for targeted interventions to enhance digital health literacy in remote populations. Healthcare providers should prioritise training and support for community health workers to improve patient engagement with digital healthcare systems. digital healthcare, tuberculosis treatment, compliance outcomes, Eastern Uganda, longitudinal study Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
