ConnecTB, a mHealth application, was developed to address the problem of high loss to follow up rates in the treatment of tuberculosis patients in the Philippines. This development was made based on the URC's experience of successfully implementing mHealth packages to improve patient retention in Bangladesh and South Africa. ConnecTB uses the technologies that are accessible and cost-effective to provide invaluable real-time insight into the quality of program performance, such as frequency of DOT visits; side effect profile of drug regimens and contact tracing coverage.
