Results: The use of cell phone-based health reminders on the treatment adherence of tuberculosis patients was found to provide convenience and benefits in providing health services.

Conclusion: Cell phone-based health reminders provide great benefits in controlling the treatment of patients with relapsed tuberculosis.
