Abstract:

Tuberculosis is a chronic respiratory infectious disease which seriously endangers human health and threatens human life. It is of great significance to do a good job of education on tuberculosis knowledge and behavior intervention for the public to reduce the incidence of new tuberculosis and to reduce the spread of tuberculosis. Through the literature review, we found that mobile communication technology can break through the limitation of traditional medical services in time and space, strengthen the information communication between medical staffs and patients and reduce the patients in emergency and hospitalization, so as to reduce the overall cost of treatment, relieve the psychological pressure of patients and improve the treatment compliance of patients. Therefore, mobile medical treatment can play an important role in the clinical treatment of tuberculosis patients. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the development of mobile medical treatment and its application in tuberculosis management and health promotion, providing reference for tuberculosis prevention and control workers.
