Agent-based Framework for Improved TB Adherence
The quest to improve the level of medication adherence by Tuberculosis (TB) patients is a global concern. Existing methods have focussed more on sending reminders, monitoring adherence and sending notifications to the relevant stakeholders. There is a need to support TB patients in a more personalized way that exhibits sensitivity to their dynamic daily schedules and accommodates necessary ad hoc changes to the medication schedule as agreed between a TB patient and relevant stakeholders (healthcare workers, primary caregivers etc.). This system will use an agent-based approach to facilitate negotiation and provision of advisory services and recommendations for TB patients.
