Digital Health Platform Implementation in Chronic Disease Management Among Urban Nigerian Populations,
Abstract
Urban Nigerian populations face significant challenges in managing chronic diseases due to limited access to healthcare resources and infrastructure. A longitudinal study design was employed with quantitative data collection methods including surveys and electronic medical records analysis. The DHP increased patient adherence to treatment regimens by 20% (95% CI: 15-25%) compared to non-DHP users, highlighting its potential in resource-constrained settings. While the Digital Health Platform showed promise in enhancing chronic disease management among urban Nigerian populations, further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore scalability. Commencement of a larger-scale pilot study to assess long-term efficacy and user satisfaction with the DHP. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
