Abstract

The rapid development of digital health technology has encouraged startups to continuously adapt their business models in response to regulatory, technological, and market challenges. This study aims to explore how a digital health startup in Indonesia adapts and transforms its business model within the evolving digital healthcare ecosystem. This research employed a qualitative exploratory case study design focusing on HonestDocs as a single case. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with three key informants representing strategic managerial roles and were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. To enhance credibility, interview findings were compared with selected internal documents and operational information. The findings indicate that business model adaptation in this case is characterized by three main patterns: the use of lightweight digital infrastructure, the integration of personalized customer service, and flexible operational strategies in responding to regulatory and logistical constraints. The study also shows that organizational culture and collaborative work practices appear to play an important role in supporting operational adaptability. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution, as this study is based on a single case and relies primarily on internal managerial perspectives, which may limit generalizability. Despite these limitations, the study provides exploratory insights into how digital health startups in emerging markets may respond to structural constraints and evolving user needs.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health concern, particularly in high-burden countries such as Indonesia. Although TB is curable, prolonged therapy, potential adverse effects, and social stigma may affect medication adherence and patients’ quality of life (QoL). Evaluating the association between adherence and QoL is important to support patient-centered TB management. This study aimed to examine the association between medication adherence and quality of life among tuberculosis patients at Permata Kuningan Hospital. A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted involving 62 TB patients selected through purposive sampling. Medication adherence was assessed using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8), and quality of life was measured using the EQ-5D-5L instrument. Data were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation. Most patients demonstrated high adherence (95.2%) and reported good quality of life (96.8%). Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between medication adherence and quality of life (r = 0.384; p = 0.002), indicating that higher adherence was associated with better quality of life. These findings suggest a significant association between medication adherence and quality of life among TB patients. Strategies to support adherence, including education, counseling, and monitoring, may be considered as part of comprehensive TB care to optimize patient-centered outcomes.
