“…Moreover, a prospective, non-randomized pilot study was conducted in 30 TB patients of diverse native origin using an early WOT prototype at two clinics in the United States. 20 Study participants were monitored during 10 daily DOT visits. At each visit, participants co-ingested sensors along with their TB medications for comparison with directly observed records.…”
Under several potential cost scenarios, the immediate cost of M. tuberculosis treatment by WOT appears to be substantially less than DOT. Further WOT development for M. tuberculosis treatment appears warranted.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
