Description
Summary:Non-compliance with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment is a reality. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an mobile device application for monitoring the treatment of LTBI. We defined the requirements, elaborated on the application's conceptual map, generated implementation and prototyping alternatives, and validated content. Feedback on the validity of content were: "usefulness, consistency, clarity, objectivity, vocabulary, and precision" from professionals, and "clarity" from patients. The application proved to be easy to understand, according to the assessment of both professionals and people undergoing treatment for LTBI.
