Another nice initiative under #DigitalIndia - TB Arogya Sathi app. All patients who test positive for tuberculosis are told to download the app, which contains information on the disease and treatment. But that’s not all, it does a lot more than that. Short thread. 
Patients have to update their treatment by confirming whether they have taken the days dose. Number of missed doses are tracked. Patient knows exactly when the treatment started and will end. These details are entered by the govt DOTS center. Notice something at the bottom?
Yes, the funds that are provided to every tuberculosis patient for nutritional support are also tracked on the app. They are credited to the patients account directly. In this case it’s showing as outstanding as funds have not been received yet.
It also comes with a host of features such as call center to help solve queries, list of common side effects of treatment, weight / BMI tracker etc. All in all another excellent initiative by @_DigitalIndia that deserves to be better publicised.
