Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment, generally for at least 6 to 9 months. Patients should follow the recommended treatment scheme regularly and completely. Poor adherence to treatment can cause patients to remain a source of infection for others. Patients with TB need additional support during treatment, in terms of information, motivation, and emotional support. Compliance monitoring helps ensure that patients take drugs according to a predetermined schedule. Comprehensive approach review method, careful selection of relevant data from various sources. This aims to provide overview of modern technology used to optimize the success of TB treatment. This paper aims to provide various methods that have existed in conventional and technology-enhanced approaches to monitoring and evaluating the treatment of TB patients. The existing studies only focus on making tools as a reminder to take medication but do not evaluate whether the drug is consumed. In addition, this paper describes prospective ideas involving advanced technology by using the internet of things (IoT)-based smart medicine bottle to accommodate the problem and become an effective communication solution in TB medication.
